  • Here

    This is in my comment history and although the mod has removed the comments from the other person you can easily infer what they’re saying from what I’m replying. You could also use the mod log to recover those comments.

    This will also give you a head start to browse my comments in the same time period as it was post election.

    Not that I should have to do this for you, you should want to seek truth and not just shrug things off. Also, it would be nice to be a little more polite.





  • Apologies for being vague, it’s been a while since I’ve had this discussion.

    Perhaps I am misunderstanding UBI as being linked to the cost of living, in that the UBI would provide for people’s basic needs and if they wanted more than that then they could find a job to supplement their income or maybe it’s one or the other.

    I think what they were getting at ok the raising prices is that because there is more spending power then that means corps would like to get their hands on this extra money by raising prices.

    I’ll try and broach this topic again and get their objections and bring it up next time I see this discussion.


  • I’m not the other person but I’ve had this discussion in work before and people have hit back with the following:

    This wouldn’t work because with all these people getting UBI would just mean companies would put prices up to levels making the UBI worthless. For example if the cost of living is $1000 and you give people who need it $1000 then before long the cost of living would rise to $2000.

    Now I’m in support of doing more for the average person and taking from corporations but I just don’t know how to argue against their, albeit lacking in actual data, arguments.
