@minmi@sfba.social Also, where does the money for the UBI •come• from? Presumably the taxpayers, right? In other words, US! Not the billionaires; they RECEIVE money from the government, they don't pay it.
Us. So they will take our money, steal a large chunk of it as they always do, and then give the rest back to us as UBI. And the billionaires, if we don't end them completely, will just keep raising prices again and again.
Billionaires are cancer. As long as they exist, they will continue to kill us all off. I don't understand how anyone can fail to realize that.

@Quasit@kolektiva.social @minmi@sfba.social First off, you don't seem to understand Governmental budgets. States with their own central bank & currency can fund what they like. Not being able to afford something is a lie based on most people's understanding that Government budgets work like everyone else's. They don't. Second, as the Irish UBI to artists demonstrates, you make the money back. It is cost effective. The savings & tax generated more than covers the cost. You can also tax back the rich their UBI.
