Social ICE/deportation protests and riots megathread

On a small scale UBI has been shown to work. In the United States There are 902 individuals who collectively hold 6.7 trillion dollars.

There is no way to imagine its doing the same good sitting in their portfolios as it would if it was passed out into the hands of the working class. 20% off the top wouldn’t change their lifestyles at all and would be a huge shot in the arm for the economy. Middle class, lower class, blue collar people spend money into the working economy.

What do you think would be the effect of the increased demand for consumer goods caused by handing out money to people who would immediately go and spend it all?

You think it might effect prices at all?

Who wants to work? Work sucks.

If you hate your job, that's your own fault. We get the jobs we deserve.

But work still sucks.

If work sucks then you don't love your job.

Define “consumer goods” in this scenario

Do you take vacations? Days off? Cut out of work now and Again? Enjoy a nice 3 day weekend?

Wriggle, wriggle.

 

[DoctorTaco]

Wriggle, wriggle.

Gross.

Sure. But not because I don't like my job.

 

[Deleted member 592570]

Gross.

I agree. You wriggling out of that question like a little worm is gross.

 

[DoctorTaco]

Sure. But not because I don't like my job.

Correct. You don’t like working more than you like Nof working

Grown men shouldn’t call other grown men “wriggly lil worms” without their express consent. It gives off a certain… vibe.

Think on this, and I’ll check back later. This is boring

 

[Deleted member 592570]

I actually do.

Since you've chosen the cowards path, I'll explain why your wealth redistribution plan doesn't work.

You take 20% of the money from the wealthiest people and give it to the poor. The poor buy Jordans and rims. The massively increased demand for Jordans and rims massively increases the price of these items.

The rich people who own the companies that make Jordans and rims get their money back and now you're whining that they're just as rich as ever and the poor are just as poor as ever.

These folks don't get the damage and maligned image these riots with the mexican flag waving create for folks of mexican descent and central americans.

This is a maligned image that will exist for decades and will be felt for generations of folks who come from Mexican/central american backgrounds.

The black and white community are already separating themselves from these protesters this is not good for the latinos/hispanics in the u.s in the future.

Trump pauses industry deportations.


“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,”





.
Who could have seen that would be an issue.

Millions of Americans get UBI right now, we just call it something else and those people are generally drains on society.

I'll fully admit, give me a few hundred a week in UBI, I never work again.

Automation + billion dollars of profits for mega corps = Universal Basic Income.

I’d rather wake up naturally with no alarm and then be productive on my own terms. Work in the yard, help my neighbors with their projects, coach some boxing, walk dogs down at the shelter.

Way better than punching the clock for 90% of the jobs out there. I have a dream job- I train fighters for the UFC, Bellator, PFL. I’ve cornered Bellator and PFL (still haven’t got one of those venum ufc kits yet). I work as a cutman, combat sports official, travel and do seminars, private lessons, run classes, have online content I sell (boxing, not butt hole stuff) and have been self employed for almost a decade.

If I won the lottery tomorrow id quit damn near all of it.

We will need UBI, but we will still need people to be productive

This is who you guys are 'arguing' and 'debating' with.
