For purposes of resolving that UBI helps the working class, your objections are not germane.
I disagree.
Everyone having some income and especially adequate food is better than some having none.
That’s like saying “everyone having a Ford F150 is better than some having none”, but money is just bloody paper. Nobody is eating a dollar bill. So no. Everyone having some income is NOT better than some having no income but everyone having a home, food, and healthcare. It IS an either/or choice according to every serious UBI advocate. SHOW me a plan with a non-trivial UBI that also expands welfare, and then we’ll talk.
It should be extremely uncomplicated.
Then demonstrate it with uncomplicated facts instead of treating my objections as if only a moron would make them. If you treat the Left like morons, you’ll never get further than Lemmy comments.
After all this time of you showing non-stop arrogance towards my views, I’ve continued to treat you with respect and try to coax the actual logical basis of what you’re trying to push for. At what point do I just give up and conclude that I was right, that you don’t actually know much about UBI at all?
So despite the fact I would love to be convinced that UBI would work, you’d rather just keep insulting me. Have a great day.
You are either deliberately obstructing reason and consensus, or too confused to follow either.
In almost 30 comments now, you haven’t given ONE GOOD REASON why anyone with a brain should consider UBI. I’ve begged you for them while you insulted me and my intelligence. I’ve gone past giving you the benefit of the doubt and simply made myself look the fool giving you chance upon chance.
I guess I’m just “too confused to follow” because being insulted didn’t change my mind :-/

No. Your objection is ridiculous. The comparison is absurd.
You are either deliberately obstructing reason and consensus, or too confused to follow either.

The way it “works” is by giving money to those who otherwise would have none or too liitle.
Stop being an obscurant.
