Universal Basic Income

[BananaStand]

That's not really the point, nanners. The point is that this is FTR, not a meeting of legislators.
Nothing that is posted on FTR is going to affect any politician or political movement or agenda.

If your goal is to enact change on any of these topics, you're in the wrong place.

It sounds like your issue is with the person who suggested we discuss Universal Basic Income in the first place. Either that or your issue is with yourself for choosing to read this thread.

This is like walking up to kids playing football in a park and saying "you guys should all give up and go home because this isn't the super bowl"

Maybe just keep walking and mind your own business then??

Reread what I wrote, but strip away the emotional detritus that you added and take it at face value, rather than assuming that I'm somehow making some greater statement than exactly what I wrote.

To wit:
I'm not suggesting that having the discussion is moot, I'm suggesting that the heated emotions are puerile.
There's literally nothing on the line, here. This is not where the decisions are made.
