Topic	I never thought I'd do a 180 on this, but I actually support UBI now.

Like, 25 year old kids living at home in their bedroom, with their parents, shouldnt be receiving it. Couples should obviously receive double, it close to whatever the figure is. For that matter, I don't think that the figure needs to be as generous as the TrumpBucks checks were. $500 seems like a better place to start, BUT I'm not an expert, so I'd be willing to listen if that's wrong or not. Either way, personally I feel like it shouldn't be a number that people can completely live off of, easily, since that's where it opens up for abuse. I dont think you have to worry about abuse in the US. lol The current system doesn't even support people who are disabled and unable to get a job or survive on their own without others stepping up to pay for their survival. If anything, the problem with a UBI system in the US would be that it would exclude too many people. You'd have 10 million people losing their job to automation and having nowhere to go and the UBI would only be distributed to 5 million of them, etc. --- If this signature appears blue, you need to consider not doing whatever it is you're doing. <cite>Anticyclonic posted [p:940453625] in I never th...
