“I don’t care what kind of ships you choose to build, but even if the ships you built hurt someone or even if they destroy the world, at least the one who created them must love them! Their creator must not deny them! Don’t blame the ships! A man should be resolutely proud of the ships he created!”

“It wasn’t my intention to remove any of them” You did remove the one that you railed against UBI You also use manipulative language with your UBI guests Why don’t you don’t admit you’re against it? Have a discussion

If a UBI were to be realized rent exploitation would be more exposed than it is. It would force the payers of UBI to see rent pricing for what it is, price gouging, exploitative, wage slavery enslaving, resource gatekeeping, closed commons, privilege pronouncing, and theft

Results of a new UBI experiment: “Stocks were up 1000%. Recipients watched more news. The UBI paid for itself 100x over. Startups and investments were up 100% Portfolios nearly doubled All the wealthy people’s dreams came true The poor remained in poverty and were more subservient” / satire

Are you an employer who hates paying minimum wage? Do you want your business to make more money? 💰 Here is a thread 🧵 on the minimum wage and how a UBI would possibly make you more money

With a UBI people can visit other realities When I was growing up without worry (financial or housing) I would visit places & experience briefly the worlds other people lived in It was strange, enlightening & sometimes emotional That doesn’t happen anymore A UBI would allow us to create & visit

“I will punish you for not going to work using threats and starvation and homelessness!” Instead of “I will reward you for going to work using disposable income, social participation, expanding ideas and progress.” Positive reinforcement and freedom to choose rather than wage / work slavery

So all these employers and corporations who are against UBI are stupid bc they could be having the government pay the minimum part of the minimum wage. Walmart knows this. They have the gov offset their low pay. They have welfare signs in the break room.

Starlight @starlight462.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

So if a UBI was covering basic necessities there would be no need for a minimum wage. Any wage would be disposable income. And the employer would have to raise that wage to incentivize workers. Or do profit sharing. Or take serf royalty payments

Starlight @starlight462.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

If people had a UBI the minimum wage would become moot. The goal of the minimum wage was the minimum amount a person needed to cover basic necessities. The gov hasn’t raised that in years. Us not enough. The year they stopped raising it could be said to be the year they became corrupt

Yes, that's one of the strengths of UBI. It would provide upward pressure on wages for jobs people dislike. This would also accelerate automation of those jobs. On the flip side, it would subsidize work people enjoy, enabling more people to do those forms of work

I believe half of all taxes should be returned to citizens so they have a direct choice in what to spend the money on Instead of a bureaucrat somewhere who doesn’t know what you need you can participate and decide directly Voluntarily, not the same as a UBI but can be used for basic necessities

But I think it's important everyone knows that UBI works and demands it because reducing inequality can just be going back to 1960s tax rates. It doesn't mean UBI just like it doesn't mean universal healthcare. We need to fight and win both, but it helps to know they both actually work well.

So giving to everyone without testing resulting in possibly harming millions or giving to a small group possibly harming the control group or the test group The harm is probably in any lack of consent o leaving any info out I don’t know if that’s what this man is advocating for but thats my 2cents

So the practice has been that medicines require ten years trials and multiple safe guards. They didn’t do that for some medicines. There should be a global open discussion if this hasn’t been solved But there’s been industry practice that’s not being followed

… a placebo to a small group then then the ones harmed by not taking it may be harmed or not and the ones raging the medicine may be harmed and may not but it’s a small group Time validates or verifies it. Rushing medicine out the door saying it’s ready when it’s not tested is harmful as well

This might be confusing but there’s arguments for placebo testing If vaccine or medicine abc comes out and it’s not fully tested and given to everyone and then later it’s found out to have harmful effects you’ve just harmed everyone that took it If you give a medicine to a small group and a

The Year is 5030. The Four Millionth Test of UBI confirms that it works and does not make people not work, reduces poverty, improves mental health, and clears people's skin. It continues not to be adopted by any major political party. A new trial of the efficacy of UBI begins.

The cost to get out of homelessness in some places is around $9000. There’s no way that a unhoused person can get out of homelessness without help or housing changes The brave people defending this society often come home and face homelessness bc of unrestrained price gouging housing
