| Topic | 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck |
| Jen0125 10/05/22 9:47:10 AM #21 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... So UBI gives people enough money that they can live off of. And a living wage pays people enough to survive. This just tells me that people can survive on either one alone. You seem to be focusing on the point that they would want both to afford luxury items. But at that point does it still have to be a living wage? Seeing a few movies and buying a video game don't cost the same as paying for your rent, food, and utilities for a month. Wages have to be high because corporations artificially inflate the cost of everything while they have kept wages stagnant. If they didn't constantly raise prices in the race for infinite profits they wouldn't have to keep raising wages. You seem to think a business is just going to have low prices anymore lmao. No. Capitalism is a failed experiment and we're seeing the end phases. Enjoy. Edit: If UBI was implemented wages paid by businesses, like adjl said, wouldn't have to be high. The adjustments would be made to UBI, not wages. Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. |

| Jen0125 10/05/22 9:26:13 AM #15 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... Why can't people live off the UBI? Why do business have to provide a living wage if people are already getting paid without working? It seems like having the one would remove concern over getting the other. Because UBI isn't enough for luxuries. It's a basic income. Do you understand the concept? In the strictest sense you can live off UBI but you won't have much luxury or budget for fun. |

| Jen0125 10/05/22 9:00:23 AM #10 | SKARDAVNELNATE posted... If wages are lower that means businesses can hire more people. If a business can't afford to pay employees they should close. Why do we live in a capitalist society where there is little risk for the business and all the risk for the worker? That's not capitalism. Having a job doesn't mean anything when the wages the company pays aren't enough to live off of. If a company can't pay a decent living wage they shouldn't be open. |

Given what has passed for fact checking since misinformation became a political topic all it does is suppress people who question what they are told when they find a contraction in the narrative. You're just mad you'd get moderated more lol bye boy |
