Re: Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income
so what is 50% of a low income? i would love 500 more a month. pay 1/2 my rent. now i bet you have to live in MLPS and i am north of that town.
rent in MLPS is more like 1500 and up!
So i bet you have to be vaxxed to get that 500.

Re: Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income
1st where is this $$ coming from? taxes. we pay for it. so now we are taking your $$ and giving it back?? does that make any F'in sence?

2> it is not legal. it violates equality. to do this fairly, they'd have to pay everyone $500. as it is ,they pay the under poverished workers. hence, poor ppl like single welfare moms will complain. then govern workers will complain cause they are no longer making X amount more than the bottom ppl. see problems? what bout the high schooler working for FF? he/she is no longer getting paid equal either. spells lawsuits. and failures.

3> U ALREADY DO GET EQUAL PAY DUMB DUMBS. u get paid the exact same $$ as the rich the second u are born. read that again- u were paid the same as the rich kid when born. which was what? $0. if i make that 0 into 500 WTF u think will really happen? the price of everything goes up by that $500. so loaf of bread, penny candy, can of peas, gal of gas, etc.

4> this has been tried. called <<<drum roll plz MINIMUM WAGE LAWS. did that work? yes it did. u now earn in a paycheck mega molah compared to just 100 yrs ago. shall i tell u bout my grand father AGAIN??????

he made $1 /day in the summer 50 cents in winter +R&B.so bout $30 /mth. yet he went on to own a farm, help my grand mother raise 6 kids, had tractors< new in his day>, cows, cars, etc. by todays standards he would b worth over a quarter million. all off a pay of $1 /day.

with minimum wage u all earn more than that in a few hours each day. WTF u complaining? u should all b living like a millionare. duhhh something is wrong george. what could it b? oh i forgot to tell u the taxes govern gave u. or that costs of everything went up with minimum wage like RENT, food, and those damn taxes too.

grrrrrrrrrrrr makes me scream. when govern gives u a dollar, they f'in take 100's. do the math. for every 1 dollar u get they take,don't ask just take, a % off the top. so who gets rich?? they do. they fool 100 of u into voting for them so they pass stupid laws and put those %'s right in their pockets. the govern laughs at u for wanting some $$.

don't b fooled. BTW i didn't even go into what the "free $$" does to oversea's costs and imports. just say a dollar today doesn't buy nothing compared to 100 yrs ago. it ain't worth TP. and back in the day 1 person could support a large family. u can not do that today with 3 working ppl. when women entered the workforce UNCLE cheered. he just doubled the $$ iin his pockets.


all these fake plans are to keep u calm til AI replaces u all. then u will die out over time. TPTB will all b kings. u aren't even worth being called slaves no more.

Re: Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income
Minneapolis will soon support 200 families with its new guaranteed basic income pilot, an experiment in alleviating poverty by paying low-income households $500 per month for two years, no strings attached.

The city has set aside $3 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the program. Households must earn less than 50% of area median income to be eligible. The program echoes a similar experiment that St. Paul launched in 2020 and dozens of other cities nationwide, whose leaders have made testing grounds to inform federal welfare policies.

Minneapolis wanted to try guaranteed basic income because federal COVID money offered an opportunity for something radically different to address the city's intractable racial disparities, said Erik Hansen, the city's Director of Economic Policy and Development.

Actually, a lot of us would love to go back about 50-60 yrs when income and living expenses chart was not so out of whack.

Tf there was ever an apt picture painted, think of the horse Secretariat who left the other horses in the dust to run the Kentucky Derby. Yep, that was inflation running out-of-control, leaving common man wage earners near collapse on the track.

Like I said earlier, IF and only IF a UBI program was funded by some sort of fair distribution of captured/recovered/confiscated ill gains of elites and ass-hats, well then fuck yeah, set it up.

If I got such a monthly stipend I know that I'd invest in myself, my farm. And allow me to maybe tutor for free in my area.

Not everyone would be stupid w/ it.

Re: Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income
Good. Now a family with one or two children do not have to have an additional welfare baby every 27 months to keep their welfare benefits.

Welfare Reform was cruel and destructive. It was structured in a way that welfare families got bumped off welfare unless mother became disabled on paper or kept popping out more welfare dependent babies.

I don’t mind government idiocy as much as I might government cruelty. Now we have a third generation of babies born so no
Can keep her check— and now and then in some poor and terrible city a baby born for the check to a mother born for the check goes flying out a third story window. What suffering is that? If grandmother or mother had just been given a pittance to be fed and warm without having to make babies for their keep...

I do not believe the Clinton administration did not know Welfare Reform was farming welfare dependents. Who vote. Who may have been made unfit to ever be productive workers and citizens and must always be dependent on government.

Whether it is called universal basic income or just social welfare benefits it’s better NOT to require people to “be disabled” or have children to get their basic needs met.

Re: Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income
A bunch of ignorant morons on this thread. All studies conducted so far have shown a basic income is beneficial in nearly all ways.

But oh no! Someone that isn't white might get some money. Better to let nobody have it and call it communism (a term 90% of the posters here couldn't define). Fuck the poor and the immigrants right?

Hello (AC)631,

I like to those at least a few
of the studies you are referring to.
Really; I'm interested!

I don't need (nor want) to see ALL THE STUDIES
Just a few of the most compelling studies.
I'm sure you can link a few
that have quality credentials.

I'm just a bit surprised that ALL
of the studies {conducted so far} have shown how UBI
is beneficial, in nearly all ways.
{Nearly all ways? That sounds weak. Let's make it ALWAYS!}

As far as GLPs lack of Political Science education: I think there's a few wise old owls here that know the difference between Marxism, Socialism, Communism, Democracy, Capitalism, Republic, Dictatorship, Tyranny, Authoritarian, God Given Rights, The Right to Bear Arms...
