  9.  @Alex-qo7ke  <The problem is when we have disposable income and no rent controls that ubi will just be absorbed by the landlords. Its not an answer.

  10.  @dilpickles5928  <Anyone can lose thier livelihood due to Ageism.> And ageism is due to ageing and the fact that at some point, the old are just going to have to retire and step aside. <How we treat our most vulnerable not only speaks volumes about us as a society but as a species.> Family care never was nor ever should have been the responsibility of the government. The fact that nursing homes and daycares exist says all that needs to be known. Career and lifestyle >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> family and future. Society has gotten too prosperous for its own good.

  17.  @piku5637  <Socialism would mean basically all workplaces are worker owned cooperatives that are more so human need driven and not really so much profit driven. > And insolvent requiring subsidies to make up for lost revenue.

  18.  @rickvervoort9536  But socialism in practice has so far proven itself to be a contradiction with the state being God, landlord, CEO, etc.

  19. <The primary deterrent for some is the prohibition of drug and alcohol use on-site. Regrettably, this restriction leads people to avoid shelters> How is that regrettable?
