    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.

    No. Your objection is ridiculous. The comparison is absurd.

    You are either deliberately obstructing reason and consensus, or too confused to follow either.

      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 :-/

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

        Stop being an obscurant.
