UBI, or universal basic income, is a form of direct cash assistance to help the most vulnerable get back on their feet. A new study in Denver suggests it works.

    That would be wonderful but that’s not what we’re discussing.

      It actually is. We all have problems. Humanity formed society to solve problems. Society has been hijacked (for a loooong time in many different ways) to extract value from others. Some people want to combat that.

      Some “have their own problems to deal with”

        No it was formed to exchange value.

            If you can’t understand the difference between “extracting” and “exchanging”, that’s the type of thing only a dictionary can help you with, sorry.

                Reading comprehension, indeed “homie”. Just re-posting quotes is not helping.
