  1. The UBI according to Professor Richard D. Wolff would do the following to society. It would make two classes of people: those who work and those who get to stay home and receive the same money as someone who works. In other words, a Basic Universal Income would create division in society. Someone who goes to work and comes back exhausted at the end of the day, only to find his neighbor relaxing in his hammock after staying home all day and both receiving the same pay for example, would create anything but harmonious relations between the workers and the folks who don’t. It’s a hard reality; but everyone has to be in the same boat for society to work.

  2. Lex, it would be great to get Mr Cowen’s opinion on a very divisive subject in your country. In some parts of Oregon, people are allowed to wear guns. There are few mass shootings in those regions. Why? Because the mass shooters go for soft targets. We never hear of someone doing a mass shooting at a Police station or where people are armed. Boys and girls, please don’t be offended from someone out of your country giving a solution to the mass shootings. But the plain simple truth is that every qualified and certified adult in America must wear a sidearm for the horrific mass shootings to come down in scale. There is no other way if the 2nd Amendment is going to work. It can only work when everyone is on board. It’s an opinion.
