For those that are healthy, it's really more about being considerate of others and not wanting to kill someone else's gramps just because our masculinity is challenged by a mask.

Dirty trucks running around with nutjob flags here just as in Oklahoma.

What's impending is the systemic trend, which that it does not bring in as much as it pays out. To fix that, the voting probably needed to happen twenty years ago. However, a bandaid could happen last minute. Is that what you want though, to roll the dice on who's in charge when it's time to...

Gary, come on. You know how this works. In your house, you get to make the rules. This isn't our house.

Or people's misunderstand of it, since this isn't a government entity.

The rural areas aren't any better and even the larger cities can be weird.

Well in your quote it mentions social expenses comprised of cash as being one of the benefits, which would include UBI, but regardless of the form, I'm not a fan of giving cash as a means of trying to care for people's basic needs, save for earned retirement programs like social security...

Meth.

America's fringe right and these methy Canadian truckers are the same people.

You sound like a good Christian.

Last thrashings of a dying intellectual disability.

Short answer is that cash is inefficient to the goal(covering basic needs) and that UBI thus far has only been presented as an addition, not a replacement for anything, so it's adding a weight that only grows. As it is right now, just social security cannot keep up and runs out(i.e. reduced...

Bring law to the lawless...?

I do agree that the income standards for most assistance programs, seem "fair", save for maybe some of the Covid distribution checks. If you're a family of four making $25k/yr, you probably need help, no getting around it. Not a fan of giving cash to people though, and definitely not a fan of...

It's always tough to ride that line of helping people just enough to be humane, but not too much to create a dependency, because once a dependency is created, it only increases.

That's a really good sign, to be back to the tan suit and coffee salute level of complaints.

I think you mean corn syrup, which are republican farmers against welfare and obesity that are accepting welfare to foster obesity.

That's shitty farming. Nobody is supposed to farm 10k acres. It fucks up the sustainability.

We're still a bit too rural, to the point that I know nobody out here is using a service that we could piggyback on. Takes me twenty minutes just to take out the trash.
