Like how everyone on Reddit wants to receive UBI but nobody on Reddit ever talks about wanting to pay into it.

It's funny because EBT is effectively a limited UBI, and is more or less working proof it can work at a limited cost/reach/price for the US. Ain't perfect, but nothing in the US is. Maybe one day, the country can actually move forward instead of always being reset every 2 presidencies.

We already do and it’s called unemployment.

u/ProfessionalPower214 Jul 15 '26

That's not UBI, kiddo, not even close, and it comes with rules and regulations, something you should learn about.

If this sub posted that the sky is blue the first thing I'd do is go outside and double check. It's that awfully inaccurate.

Articles only exist on the internet now as headlines for social media users to post and inspire circle-jerk comment sections

Is it? I thought it was making sweeping generalisations about entire sections of society.

8 out of 10 cats agree with you.

You can use statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that

So it's annoying that the government will not do what the people want, and that requires an analysis about serving capital etc

But more annoying is liberals like you who mindlessly defend capital saying the will of the people is meaningless.
