    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.

        They gave you dozens, your capacity for cognizance might not be so derelict if you had adequate education, but you lack that for the same reason you choose to lack an understanding of UBI; you’ve never been privy to the resources to allow you to dissuade your ignorance, and you’ve mistakenly assumed your ignorance is as valuable as someone else’s knowledge.

          Wheels on a car, the economy is fiction, and anyone who hates UBI is against progress. Those reasons? If those are the only reasons for UBI, the Yang centrists really got nothing for us.

          your capacity for cognizance might not be so derelict if you had adequate education

          You’re right. Librul Elite College screwed with my brain. I just can’t see “cars need wheels” as a solid argument, and “fuck you” as reasonable counters for my genuine critiques.

          but you lack that for the same reason you choose to lack an understanding of UBI

          So do bloody tell. I’ve been openly asking people to convince me that UBI is worth considering, and they keep just telling me I’m a fucking moron. It’s like walking up to the crazy street preacher and saying “I really do want to learn about your religion” and all they do is spit at you and call you a devil.

          you’ve never been privy to the resources to allow you to dissuade your ignorance,

          College, economics classes, law class (only one of those, admittedly). I read Yang’s UBI plan in its entirety, as well as both the pro-arguments and the con-arguments. I was ALL FUCKING IN at first. Then I had a question. And when I asked it, everyone acted like this guy, like I was some stupid moron (and worse to Yang UBI-fans, a Socialist) who was just trying to tank their goal. So what else should I look into? I’ve spent (feels like wasted at this point) hundreds of hours on UBI. What more do you need before I can kiss your feet?

          and you’ve mistakenly assumed your ignorance is as valuable as someone else’s knowledge

          Is this how you feel about all Leftists, or just the ones who won’t throw away socialism for capitalism?
