What I hear every time I hear about “universal…..” whatever is

“I want this thing for us but I want our grandchildren to pay for it, ev en if they don’t get the priveledge themselves”.

When ANY of these programs come back with a balanced budget that lowers our staggering debt, then we can talk.

If you want others to have a thing, then pay for others to have a thing. There re not only ways to do that thorough charities, we now have non-government alternative ways to fund things in a financially, ethically, without forcing subsets of the population to pay for things. We have blockchains that are inflationary, that allow funding for projects in ways that do not come out of their pockets. We have voluntary governance so that people involved in the project can direct funds to programs they believe in, and unlike when you choose to force your ideas on people who do not think they are worthy or even ethical in a government, if you do not like where the funding is going in a blockchain project you can leave it.

Want ot help with Basic Income? Have you given to GiveDirectly.org? If not, then I do not bleeive you think basic income is a good thing. If you think that people should be forced to pay for things that you personally believe, well, isn’t this the mark of a sociopath? If not a sociopath, what kind of person thinks other people should be forced to pay for their ideas?
