UBI is a “quit on life” entitlement. I would be ready to meet its proponents halfway, however, provided that in exchange for a guaranteed UBI payment, recipients would agree to be sterilized and live in a quarantined reservation. Or be shipped off to whatever ancestral home is relevant to their fantasy lives.

Once you pay the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.

And once you say “shower them with money to stop the violence”, you guarantee more violence when they want more money.

Guaranteed income equals guaranteed laziness/stay-at-home.

Unless there’s also a guarantee of forced labor.

Guaranteed income must have a source, but if the source of income is no longer available in your area, government will have to provide with monopoly money.

“Grounded in civil rights ideals”

Which ideals would those be?

It is crazy... but if some blue states want to try it -and can get their legislatures to fund it with state money - I say good luck to them.

Where are we going?

Nowhere, fast. Excellent question.

If we have no good place to go we will have to plant our American flag here and fight. The other trashy lowlifes can leave. Or reform. We won't.

Does anyone have the uptodate cost of the WOP in 2019.

Most of the search data stops at 2014, the 50th anniversary of the WOP.

I don't know. I don't know about the WOD either. We've had so many wars on so many undesirable or wasteful or damaging or crippling things that I think everybody has lost track.

Maybe it's finally time to have a War on Failure of the Federal Department of Educayshun established by another failed Democrat Presidunce, Jimmy Carter!!!

Especially the failure to teach kids a truthful American History contrasted with all the stupid slavery that went on before our first Republican President Lincoln ended slavery until a whole series of Democrats have re-established another dubious plantayshun!!!

The ignorance of these militant mindless demonstrators today makes the demonstrators of yesteryear look like geniuses! They used to say "Question Authority!" Now they're questioning REALITY!!!
