  2. Decades of research on cash transfer programs have found that the only people who work fewer hours when given direct cash transfers are new mothers and kids in school. In several studies, high school graduation rates rose. In some cases, people even work more. Quoting a Harvard and MIT study, “we find no effects of [cash] transfers on work behavior.”

  9. "steal a shit ton of money from people" taxation is not theft if the tax revenue is used by society imagine getting rich without society, no running water, no roads, no food for the poor, no fire fighters or police, no weather stations no military, no public education that provides skilled laborers that you hire none of that, imagine getting right with none of that, you cant, you need society to become rich, so paying money back to society is not theft get an understanding of socioeconomic

  18. "I do not think that a flight across the Atlantic will be made in our time, and in our time I include the youngest readers. " — Charles Stewart Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce Ltd., c. 1908 "British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown made the first non-stop transatlantic flight in June 1919. They flew a modified First World War Vickers Vimy bomber from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Clifden, Connemara, County Galway, Ireland."

  21. "The federal government recently printed $4 trillion for bank bailouts in its quantitative easing program with no inflation. Our plan for UBI uses mostly money already in the economy. In monetary economics, leading theory states that inflation is based on changes in the supply of money. The Freedom Dividend has minimal changes in the supply of money because it is funded by a Value-Added Tax." thats on andrew yangs ubi proposal but could apply to any ubi funded the same way

  23. UBI requires the presence of some form of market economy and some form of currency if you think UBI is like communism then you have no clue what communism is UBI in the long run would delay communism as it would prop up the existence of capitalism for longer until full automation is achieved

  27.

  43.  @vegantina6565  adorable? i dont want them to deforest the amazon for any reason if i could i would have a diet of fruits, vegetables, bugs, chicken and fish because of school and family and partners family im always going around so i cant keep things around that spoil fast, neither do i have the means to properly cook living in a small student apartment so as a "non-vegan" i dont think its adorable that any environment is destroyed to provide for humans, we have plenty of unused farm land and abandoned farms in europe and asia, we could grow on that land which provides nothing else, supports no wildlife nor no forrests i think its stupid that we deforest for oils, i think its stupid that we have so much red meat im not advocating any extreme final solution im just pointing out that there is a general direction we have to start moving in people wont on mass jump aboard the crazy train of overthrowing society by uprooting a large chunk of its food production but less cows and less palm oil/ other oils is a good direction to start
