    as we hear more politicians talk about universal basic income, it’s important to remember, Monopoly has a universal basic income in it (passing GO). it’s better than not having it, but capitalism is still unsustainable, even with UBI.

      You know who was in favor of UBI? One of History’s greatest monsters, Milton Friedman. Never miss an opportunity to point out that the rhetoric of a villain from the recent past looks tame in comparison to the villains of today.

            This article states that it’s with the assumed idea that all social safety net programs are drastically cut or eliminated. I’m not really sure we can assume that will absolutely true no matter what and I highly doubt that the proponents of UBI want to eliminate all safety net programs.

              I highly doubt that the proponents of UBI want to eliminate all safety net programs.

              Have you looked into any of the actual concrete proposals, though? Have you seen any that don’t include things like this?

              (That is from a 2016 book by this guy, who happens to also be a proponent of scientific racism, being taken seriously in this 2018 report from the Congressional Research Service.)
