Is Universal Basic Income the dumbest idea ever dreamed up by leftists?
I can’t think of a single justification for it. It would absolutely wreck society.

Edit the picture and replace "basic income" with some of our Jow Forumsicy
they hate society and want to reform it to be without responsibility, wealth or work. its the only way they can compete with motivated breadwinners, to destroy them.
(((They))) have been trying their damndest to break up the nuclear family and have been doing so since the 60s.
what could go wrong with a complacent, permanent underclass and a tiny upperclass that controls all the AI???
Its forward... as MSNBC says "lean forward"
actually is a theory put forth by rushton of bell curve fame.
Good thing I'm going to school for AI.
studies show it doesn't but go ahead and keep shilling for the elites you claim to hate, cuck.
It depends. If you paid someone the amount it would cost to imprison them, and they don't commit crime and actually buy things with that money, is that not a positive?
Where does the money come from when everyone decides to stop working?
>everyone decides that they're okay living on the bare minimum to survive while doing nothing with their lives
Why do you assume everyone would decide to stop working? If those on the dole were given minimal government housing, shit like food stamps and an insignificant amount of discretionary money, most people would probably opt to work to better their lives still.
You underestimate people's capacity for laziness, they will supplement their income by othermeans, mostly devoting their newfound free time to criminality and substance abuse.
are you calling milton friedman a leftist?
imagine what they could do with all that extra brainpower they freed up
I'm a NEET so it works for me
it wouldn't be a terrible idea if it was used to replace the whole welfare state. That's not what they want however, they want to put it on top of what already exists.
What you also fail to recognise is that the reason stuff costs what it does is because that’s considered the fair market value for that item based on how much work it takes to make that much money.
Ergo, if everyone just gets 1000 a month, everything just goes up to match it.
With full automation on the horizon, something like this is inevitable.
There will have to be restrictions - such as sterilization/mandatory birth control for those who accept UBI.
Absolutely nothing? Like all the countries that flew that flag.
I think it’s definitely up there. I don’t know how people can’t see that it would immediately cause massive inflation.
UBI is great when paired with sterilization. How could anyone disagree?
Kikes want to make the economy more predictable and convert us into slaves fully dependent of the state. Nobody never questions why is everything so expensive or why the gov't burns so much money.
Something has to be done about the mass amounts of unemployment and underemployment.
>Based and redpilled is not left or right it's forward.
you just described the labor theory of value you moron
I'm not so sure this is a lefty idea.
Automation of everything could cause some issues with unemployment.
A lot of leftists oppose UBI.
You have two options
1. Massive welfare expansion as less and less work is required due to automation. Most people on welfare
2. Reduced working hours for all people

>everybody gets free money and white people foot a slightly smaller bill
Of course, actual left wants universal employment. Thats kind of the point of communism 'everyone must labor', if you dont you go to gulag to work.
But Jow Forumss retarded.
great way to cull the nigger population, greatly improving life for blacks.
offer them 20k to get snipped
"ooga booga muh ducats, consequence free fuckin" the short sighted will take the offer.
leaving regular blacks to thrive and better themselves without the massive drag factor of niggers.
Nah, if you can be replaced by a robot you can starve. There are plenty of things computers will never be able to do in place of humans.
Gassing the jews is not left or right
It's forward
>dumbest idea
It has demonstrated aptly why only the goyest of goys would trust the State to support you.
Option three: purge fucking communist niggers
Who controls the ledger for the UBI system?
The answer is yes. Even compared to trannies, gender studies, and other post moder deconstructovist shit, UBI is far and away the most retarded shit ever.
>what is unprecedented inflation for $100, Alex?
Reasons to not live life in an opium den:
>need to make money for more opium
There are probably more whites on gibs than blacks. Trash is trash.
>There are plenty of things computers will never be able to do in place of humans.
THEY WANT TO WRECK SOCIETY YOU STUPID SHIT!! CLOWARD AND PIVEN STRATEGY!!!
It doesn't even require thought to see how it is flawed:
If something costs $1, and that's the cheapest thing on the rack, then the government ensures everyone will have $1000 a month, then it follows, every single thing on the rack that is priced $1 is suddenly $1001. You don't even have to try very hard to see this problem on the UBE horizon.
Why wouldn't the price of every single thing raise to exactly match the UBE?
The capitalist explanation is because then everyone on UBI would just die and they would no longer be able to extract that $1000 a month. That the market would simply adjust such that $1000 a month is livable to ensure they can get all those $1000s a month from every person.
This of course requires blind faith in the market.
I've given honest consideration on how UBI could work in America. There would have to be 5 essentials in order for it not to destroy our nation.
>National ID
A strong, national identification needs to be implemented. SSNo will not cut it. We are talking free money and it is essential that only citizens can draw from it.
>Elimination of all other social subsidies.
Everything must go. Social security, welfare, medicare, obamacare, public housing, public schools, EVERYTHING! The cost savings from eliminating dozens of competing, redundant government bureaucracies and their payouts is essential to covering the cost of UBI.
>One fixed rate.
Doesn't matter if you're jobless and homeless or Bill Gates. ANY US citizen my collect UBI and it will always be the same fixed amount no mater what your other income may be.
>UBI or the Vote
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR. A person collecting UBI may not vote in federal election. They have to have not collected a check 4 years prior to election. This is to prevent the populous from voting themselves BREAD AND CIRCUS.
>A person can not collect UBI until they are 18
This last one is to prevent parents (you know who) from having a bunch of kids and collecting money on their behalf.
It's inevitable.
its retarded
>Five year plan
You do know that the commies made up the results so they wouldn't be sent to the gulags.
Universal Basic income is a form of communism. Redistribution of wealth is communism
It's just one of a few possible solutions to the catch 22 of post-automation society.
When most of the work force is automated, we're still left with all these people who were supposed to buy the goods that are made by said machines. With machines, much of the population becomes redundant. Without the population, the machines lose their purpose for existence.
What happens if all of the wealth is amassed by the owners of these machines and 90% of the population is basically told to rebuild its own society from scratch? They take it by force.
brainlet
No it's not
>If something costs $1, and that's the cheapest thing on the rack, then the government ensures everyone will have $1000 a month, then it follows, every single thing on the rack that is priced $1 is suddenly $1001
Holy fuck you are stupid
I'm so fucked financially that I'd take the check, but I'd know that total austerity was right around the corner.
>It would absolutely wreck society.
The entire argument for it is (why it is rebranded to try and get away from association to other forms of socialism) is a recognition that society as we know it is getting wrecked anyway.
UBI is actually the center-right alternative proposal for how to handle structural unemployment, in contrast to the marxist socialist retards. It's all right there in the name, and honest, in contrast to the lefts constant doublespeak.
Universal - not means tested. Ideally replacing most or all current means-tested redistribution/welfare schemes.
Basic - providing a minimal requirement for continued existence.
The point is to acknowledge that simple labor doesn't exist any more, and continuing to manufacture simple labor jobs (eg. the 'service economy') is killing us.
imagine what they could do if their stomach was not empty because of people like you
The best way to probably go about this is to tax the robots the same way you would tax human workers, although you would have to tax them double or triple the rate of a human, this probably wouldn't matter too much since the robot or machine could probably do things 5x more efficiently than a human.
>more whites on gibs than blacks
not as a proportion of population.
same as the crime stats.
lobotomize it
As a percentage? Not even close. Whites largely create the wealth and most minorities suck it out. The myth that large numbers of whites sat on welfare when there were other options is absolute horseshit. We like to work.
>basic income aka the weapon to destroy the middle class
According to the CIA people in the USSR ate about as much as americans, but had more nutritious diets.

>Liberals
>Automatization has made working irrelevant, we need universal income
>Also liberals
>wtf there is a labor shortage, import as many immigrants as we can
We're already fucked. Soon Linux will give kernel panics whenever it detects sexism, racism, and antisemitism.
UBI is a proposal by actual capitalist theorists who believe capitalism can be used for the betterment of all, like friedman.
Illegal immigration is just reverse imperialism, its what the capitalists who are under no illusion capitalism is actually good for anyone but them want, so they can get labor even cheaper.
I simply fail to see how human workforce could be needed in the near future.
Every job from a shelf stocker at Walmart to a surgeon could be automated.
Even lawyers and judges could be replaced by AI.
There is just no way we have less than 50% unemployed people globally by the end of the next decade.
UBI seems inevitable
Everyone should have their own money-printing machine.
>but had more nutritious diets.
You're a cherry picking faggot. That document clearly states they didnt know about the nutritional aspects.
While also having giant famines that whiped out millions that had nothing to do with bad luck in terms of weather. Literally state-caused mass genocide.
Do you know what the best planned society is? One where people run their own businesses and plan everything individually instead of expecting a handful of people to plan for billions of others and it somehow not fuck up.
Capitalism is a planned society, it's just a lot better at doing it.
Basic income will be eaten by the housing industry almost immediately.
Why? Because half the cost of your apartment/house is to make sure you don't have poor neighbors and their problems.
The bottom clearly states they consider it to be so.
The purpose of UBI is to make the masses complacent and dependent on the government, so that culling them is much easier.
tell that to my grandfather who got his farm stolen by people like you or his sister and her husband in russia oh wait his sister starved to to death just like her husband
The kikes on this board argue for it while telling you "you already give the welfare leeches basic income! You would end up giving them less if you just gave it to them upfront so they could ration it!!"
>but what happens when Tyrone blows his income on Nikes on the first day and can't afford food?
"T-T-T-Then they just couldn't eat! We absolutely would NOT reach back into your pockets to get even more money! Trust us, UBI isn't just an excuse for more gibs!"
Expose every kike in UBI threads.
kulaks burning grain and the west refusing to trade for anything BUT grain (at a time much of the western grain supply came from the ussr) resulted in problems on occasion.
market is not inherent to capitalism, there is even such a thing as free market socialism
Damn right it is
>pay them the imprisonment cost
>they commit crime and get imprisoned anyway
>now you get to pay for each criminal twice!
It’s actually a much more “fair” form of welfare. Instead of niggers getting most of the benfits, everyone gets a check (except jews because fuck them). If niggers and spics can’t figure out how to budget, then they can get a job or die off as nature intended.
because you need to buy more than one thing
Then you're already living under communism by your logic. Take a look at how much subsidies the farmers get to grow food (this is a good thing). Trump just increased that too so I guess he's a communist!
Make it say
>Gassing the Jews
Why is culling a bad thing. We need to get rid of the useless ones. Vasectomy + UBI should be a thing
some of my relatives died because of this yet the gommie thinks its a great idea to try this shit again
It has to eventually come though. Based on what I know now you cannot have a society that has heavy automation and no plan in place for mass unemployment. If you do not pay these people off they tear the country apart. What will likely happen is mass unemployment followed by electing leaders that push for UBI. It's just a law of human nature that votes are self interested. We may even go full commie if the poor people's needs aren't addressed.
It is a red hat
:^)
Add "eugenics."
Me too. I plan to use AI to combat their AI.
What's wrong with basic income?
Enough money to pursue basic needs and to learn about new interests while not having enough to totally quit working is a good idea.
Unless ofcourse you like Jew dick in your mouth.
I'd rather kill Jews and take their shekels.
No it doesn't and go re-read the 3rd sentence. If you cant even understand you own citations then you need to just fuck off, you abundance of chromosomes.
That could work.
Probably, but thankfully countries like yours will invite in every unskilled migrant from the third world. Once the infrastructure collapses as most of the workforce is dependent on UBI from the handfull of people who actually work (and who will be taxed heavily for the privilege), then we'll lose that automation and go back to a better system.
>slightly smaller bill
How does it become smaller under UBI?
No, there is no free market under socialism. There is a regulated market with restricted freedoms.
