Because money does not equal goods and services, money is a measurement of goods and services. Conjuring up more money without the exchange of goods and services undermines the convertibility of the money into goods and services, and would be a zero sum game at best, hyperinflation at the worst.

Because they want to implement it in addition to all the other bullshit that is incompatible with UBI. You want UBI? Right out of the gate you need to massively squash immigration and implement massive penalties for people who would over-reproduce (you know who). Next, you would have to dismantle almost every other support system and the bureaucracies associated with them: all welfare programs would need to be removed. Social Security would need to be deleted. Anything associated with government assistance for loans, tax credits, unemployment, and so on, all would most likely need to be removed as well. Massive bureaucracies would be gone in short order and the very people who typically support UBI quake in terror at this idea. UBI is actually good and sensible with huge potential for refinement, but only in the right conditions, which our government has demonstrated it has no desire to bring about. As usual, they would bait you in with the ideal and then manage to deliver the worst of all worlds to you.

The absolute retardation in this thread. AI and automation will make UBI an absolute necessity in the future but, as with all paradigm shifts in history, necessary policies and action will only be taken after mass unemployment, starvation, crime and riots have already set in.

Ultimate smoothbrain is equating this to the pipe-dream scam of communism in the 1900s. But there's no stopping ameritards worshipping their illusion of personal freedom (while actually enjoying less of it than in many other countries) when the American underclass is by comparison more enslaved already than most others.

Calling UBI communism that won't work tomorrow sounds like calling global capitalism anarchy and saying it could never work in the 1900s since anarchy couldnnot work whatsoever and it for sure didn't work in pre-industrial feudalistic societies.

Yes no matter what, it caused inflation to some level. Argument is... how much? According to many company statements, that even AFTER adjusting for inflation, these companies are posting record profits. This means that to a certain extent, they are hiking prices more than they need to (Well within their right to do so).

As for the handouts being ubi, it was only a total of $2,000 total for those eligible. Dookie as fuck numbers. And most of it did NOT go to the people. It also wasn't continued. I wouldn't call it ubi.

UBI will free up people from working unwanted or not needed jobs and cut waste.

So of course UBI won’t be implemented by the current state government. The state relies on arresting niggers and hiring low income individuals to circulate the economy in their favor.

The current state creates problems and offers jobs to clean up the mess.
