A universal basic income to the ultra wealthy would be perceived by them as being given a couple pennies every month - eviltoast

The way someone with $100,000,000 would perceive $1000 is how someone with $100,000 would perceive $1.

    You are literally extracting the political token of why universal basic income is helpful, and then claiming that it’s “not political”…?

        Helping people via the government is political.

        Political isn’t some word for “government action that’s controversial” or “government action that you don’t like.” It’s just the discussion of government actions.

        It’s inherently political to discuss universal basic income and acting as if it isn’t, is intellectually dishonest.
