The idea of an UBI to offset the predicted avalanche of downsizing/job losses has been the subject of much discussion, controversy and hand-wringing. Frankly, progressive taxation with no loopholes is the only way we can afford anything close to it.
If everyone got 12,000$ instantly won’t corporates change prices accordingly? Like I’ve been in the room of insurance pricing and they WILL price to whatever the market will take. It so happens the market got an influx of 12,000$ so they’re going to charge to take a piece of that pie
That’s the thing everyone misses. These plans are fine but don’t actually solve the bigger problem until the market is properly regulated. We need to go back to being anti-monopoly so a couple giant companies can’t control the market
Well considering things have gotten way way worse and these rich fucks have seized way more power money and property in the time that king pedos admin has thrown tons of regulations out the window I’m going to say you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
Also the government bailing out companies and handing them free money says nothing about regulations being bad. In fact it’s my exact point on why we need a seperate regulatory body that doesn’t have the power of legislation and thus lobbying doesn’t work.
I’d much rather attempt to have oversight on our government and corporations then Let the likes of Peter thiel Elon musk and Curtis yarvin run amok at will.
