I hope she gets to do that. Japan has a lot of cat cafes that are successful.

Ahhh, the first one.

I don’t understand this comment. Are you trolling or responding to the wrong one?

No worries, I’m guessing they won’t be able to respond either. It sounds like talking points they were given by a podcast or something, and they didn’t really look into it. Whenever people start spouting those kind of things, digging deeper into their thoughts will usually tell you pretty quickly how much they believe or are repeating.

I’ll discuss it when you come back with sources from the studies of UBI and why most experts think they worked being referenced

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.

It’s the guaranteed part that makes a difference. If they know they can at least buy toiletries or whatever with the money.

I don’t understand the cost of living part? Are they raising the prices randomly? Is it because more people are buying stuff, so there’s more demand? Then more jobs are created. It’s a very vague question.

I’ve had this discussion before. You might want to do some more research and have sources. I would advise you to look at really good sources about the following points:

• “It’s not “universal” unless/until it’s given to everyone.”
• “…would cost the government $2.4 TRILLION, yearly.”
• “Even seizing the entirety of every US billionaire’s net worth and cutting defense spending wouldn’t even cover the cost of this UBI for three years”

Your numbers and projected income is way wonky. I’ll discuss it when you come back with sources from the studies of UBI and why most experts think they worked being referenced.

I believe that’s manufactured pushback tbh. People who are overworked might think it would make themselves lazy. At first, maybe? To get your thoughts in order, it might look lazy. But most people who feel safe with a steady income want to be productive.

To add to that, it’s the same with homelessness. Every 1-4 years, architecture students and urban planning students are asked to do projects on helping to house the homeless or something similar. Every time, they come up with innovative and unique ways to handle it. People forget about and/or realize that no one will try any of them. Repeat.

They’ve been trying it across the world, it’s called Universal Basic Income. It’s been proven mostly successful every time.

Here’s an old article about the US: https://mashable.com/article/cities-with-universal-basic-income-guaranteed-income-programs
