Sounds like a great idea on the surface, but 50K to be a barista?
Nope, I don't get it.
SOMEbody needs to consult John Smith on where this historically leads.
Are there enough taxpayers to support these people ?
Where does the money come from?
- from taxes coerced from people who are working at a normal job without a subsidy.
Will the people at normal jobs feel resentment when they see others getting free money from the government for not doing anything?
- yes, they will feel resentment, but they can’t do anything about it.
What happens when this program is extended to all, as the word “universal” implies?
- money becomes valueless and the economy crashes, causing almost universal misery.
Almost? Who won’t become miserable?
- the ruling elite, which always takes care of itself first, and flings $hit at the working stiffs.
It’s communist nonsense. And what’s worse, it’s not even balanced communist nonsense.
Joe gets $50,000 a year for three years. Jim, who lives next door, gets nothing. Zero. Zip.

$600,000 voted for.
100 people × $50,000/yr × 3 yrs = $15,000,000.
One of the 100 people better be better at math than the politicians that voted this in...
When I was going through school there was an axiom intended to convince us to take our schooling seriously. It was “play now, pay later; pay now, play later.” Unfortunately our socialist leaning government has turned that on its head to now it is “play now, play later; pay now, pay later.”
Will there be any looting?
IT IS NOT UNIVERSAL
IT IS 100 selected people.
“She said this program could be beneficial for both employees and businesses.”
Never mind the tax payer.
And how much will be skimmed off the top to reward the politically connected who are running the program? And who did these businesses donate to who will get a ‘free’ employee for 3 years. Will a single white person be eligible?
And if they simply still will not report to the worksite, just deposit the paycheck to their online banking account, eh?
So. There are at least 100 friends or family members of Cleveland Council Members who are getting free money.
