This + abolish corporate personhood mitigates half our problems. Hold C-suites criminally liable for company misconduct, remove lobbying, and ban stock trading for lawmakers and we're 80% fine.

Is crude an essential oil? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
Is there a race that is statistically more violent then the others?

...White supremacists use this argument verbatim against certain ethnicities. It's literally the poster child for statistic-fluffed racism.
Do I have to link the meme or are going to figure this out on your own?...
It doesn't need to; market forces do that.
I don't claim to be an economist but I'm doubtful that pulling indirect levers and letting the market regulate itself works. If it did we'd already be 45 years into a Reaganomic utopia.
What I don't get is the assumption that a fixed stipend of currency will provide for basic necessities.
If the society was committed to universal housing, food and healthcare access then just make that the stated goal and get those funds involved directly in housing/food/healthcare. Just giving someone $1000 doesn't stop their landlord from increasing rent by $900 to match; a government owned housing alternative does.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere a long while back that UBI is a non-solution to wealth inequality. IIRC if you don't also radically change the rest of the regressive tax structures then the supply of cash still gets funneled upward. Most of the hype is from PR and the inherent good vibes of getting a check in the mail.
Pretty funny that the article and the reply both implicitly assume adulthood is owning things or doing certain activities. Adulthood is being able to navigate life through adversity. Every young person I know treading water with unstable income and no support is way more 'grown up' than boomers complaining about having to cut back on retirement cruises.
I've never seen people more mad that a stranger paid a few thousand extra amortized over 14 years.
Not if we stop tracking it 🤠
