  1. From his website, also explained in the podcast Wouldn’t that cause rampant inflation? The federal government recently printed $4 trillion for the bank bailouts in its quantitative easing program with no inflation. Our plan for a Universal Basic Income uses money already in the economy. In monetary economics, leading theory states that inflation is based on changes in the supply of money. Our UBI plan has no changes in the supply of money because it is funded by a Value-added Tax. It is likely that some companies will increase their prices in response to people having more buying power, and a VAT would also increase prices marginally. However, there will still be competition between firms that will keep prices in check. Over time, technology will continue to decrease the prices of most goods where it is allowed to do so (e.g., clothing, media, consumer electronics, etc.). The main inflation we currently experience is in sectors where automation has not been applied due to government regulation or inapplicability – primarily housing, education, and healthcare. The real issue isn’t Universal Basic Income, it’s whether technology and automation will be allowed to reduce prices in different sectors.
  2. The Guineas I used to work for loved Columbus day.
  3. Just donate a dollar to him. Let him debate.
  4. I took it a little differently in the college thing, and that he was circling it around to ubi in that if you had 1,000 a month guaranteed to live on you'd see more of that... More freedom to find apprenticeships, and etc... I don't think he was thinking that free college is a bad step, but moreso that many of the jobs people are getting out of school are going to be automated and that we need to move more people into trades that are not easily automated. He also wants to destroy the fucking drug war, and pardon all the non violent offenders on a mass scale. I think the ubi proposal is the incremental first step in reversing the most dangerous threat to our society that no one is even talking about, and that no one will be able to solve in 8-10 years... It'll already be too late. Like he said, we're already in the third inning. I've donated to him, just $10.00, but I got an email from him that we need to get a bunch more individual donors for him to be in the debates. Just a $1 donation from more people. Whatever. It's a long shot, but we can sit here as a country and argue about stupid shit like abortion and a fucking wall, but can't see the decimation of our economy literally a decade away
  5. I'm lost as to what you mean. Bridge... You mean bumping the hips? The guy on the bottom doesn't have a guard... He's mounted and has no defense. He can't get to a triangle without clearing his hips. I'm completely lost as to what you're saying.
  6. Yang on UBI. You really should watch the whole podcast. And also They kind of overlap, but this guy its the only one who gets it.
  7. This is his appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast. This guy fucks
  8. Username etc...
  9. I'll just leave this here
  10. I think it could happen. He's got a grasp on things that aren't even being discussed. While everyone else is arguing dumbass shit, we're going to be manhandled by the unseen. We're being led by the past, and he's the only one really taking about a real future.
  11. I'm hoping for Yang
  12. It's like you're a complete idiot, and with all the self awareness of a normal person
  13. And yet you defend Trump at every turn. There is no moral authority left in a large swath of America. I just wish you all could see it. It's so painfully there.
  14. Did we list these as reasons not to vote for him?
  15. If only this applied to Trump in the same way
  16. I'd say you did. You get all the internets
  17. Someone called this shit in some Bob stoops thread
  18. There was a sporting event recently?
  19. 1?
  20. This. But I call it trail hockey
  21. The point is, if you're just minding your own fucking business, what the fuck right does someone have to bother you and force you to answer questions. The answer is, at least for me, none at all
  22. Hmm... I'm sure if we sat down and talked, you'd have some ideas that I found ridiculous. And hopefully you'd have some principles that you live by... Some we might agree on. But I would hope you'd have the fortitude to live by them and never break. It's rare.
  23. I fully understand. Trust me. It's definitely a beating sometimes, but I still stand by them
  24. It's not jail, it's the principle of the whole thing. I'm flat out not going to testify on or about anyone else. I live by my principles.
