Finland's Flirtation With "Free" Money For The Jobless To End (Universal Basic Income)
Never go full Cloward-Piven.
They’re also going to bring in 50 million zero-skill third world new voters, and use bureaucratic regulation to do away with the Second Amendment.
The suck groweth.
God I hope they go forward with this. It’ll take one question to shut down the Dem nominee in the debates. “How will you pay for this?”
Who will decide who "needs" to work?
What a nice way to say forced labor camps. Kind of reminiscent of Mao's revolution where Chinese were forced out into the fields.
Are we getting "free education" too? (aka re-education camps)
The part where they have not analyzed the cost is the part that bothers me the most.
The Dems trying what Hitler did ? LOL
Sounds like Venezuela here we come! Will they ever learn? Dementia must have gotten the best of Bernie......
Socialism is godless to the core.
I wonder if anyone in the dem party ever took a math class?
When the government prints money you don’t need math !
Small brats with their impossible Christmas Lists.
The fact of the matter is if they are actually stupid enough to run on reparations, impeaching Trump, repealing the 2nd amendment, single payer health care, repealing the Trump tax cuts, and universal "basic income", they will get destroyed in every district but the most far left.
Perhaps what is even scarier is they will wise up and keep the moderate mask on, because all the above mentioned polices ARE their true agenda, and the day after the election if they take Congress they will start trying to enact them.
Mindless voters will always vote free stuff. Who ever offers the mostest Free Stuff wins. When it comes to free stuff, its worth what you paid for it.
There are just enough a$$holes who would vote for “free” stuff from the government.
Finland was only providing ~$500/mo when their median income was ~$3000mo.
The Swiss proposal was for ~$2500/mo, but was turned down.
I suspect the results would be different at those two levels.
Venezuela here we come!
Reimbursement for travel costs, food, lodging and saving someone’s butt from becoming dinner for their buddies across the river or being a slave to their buddies across the river, being eaten by a lion, croc or trampled to death by a rhino. You’re welcome.
I’d go for another CCC or WPA program but it would not produce the same results or be managed like the last one was. In those programs you worked and produced or you didn’t stay.
We just completed a short trip to an old National Park and Wildlife Refuge. The buildings and improvements the CCC built still endure but the whole of it needs renovation. What they planned and built in just a few years is incredible in scope, distribution and quality. Rock buildings with not a single crack in the walls. The managers of those projects and the people had an eye for architectural appeal and blending with nature. The little dams they built to improve the water for wildlife are perfect for their settings. The buildings are classic in design, execution and function but need repairs and some updating.
Highways in this country have fallen apart. We are too far behind for repairs and instead require wholesale rebuilding.
So, how much melanin do you have to have to get reparations? To make this work, Democrats will have to go full racist.
You think old-fashioned words like “quadroon” are racist? Hardcore old Mexico had a name for every race permutation you could think.
Just like the income tax got the government in everybody’s business, reparations will get the government into your DNA.
Dems going full commie socialist as they panic.
