UBI support Poll

[The Valkyrie]

I agree with you about lazy fucks and self-motivated people. 

There may be more types of people than that, though. I'd like to avoid a false dichotomy. 

There seem to be people who are doing their best, but are still having a hard time. 

I spent years of my life, when I could have been A LOT more productive financially, taking care of my elderly mom-in-law. I was fortunate in that I did have some income, and my wife had more, but not everybody can make money the way I did. I suppose I could have spent more time making money and then handed her care over to strangers, but I'm glad I didn't. 

In an ideal world I guess there would be charities or other generous people who could take care of people who are not lazy fucks but are still struggling. I think the idea behind UBI is that it is actually more efficient to create a general minimum for safety's sake.

Granted, limiting abuse of such a system would be tricky.

Well, the most generous people are usually "the" rich (aka : successful people), that lazy lefties love to criticize. I wonder how their worldview would work out in the stone age.
