Here's a quick look at movement gaining traction among the local NEXTGEN and supporters of Prez candidate Andrew Yang . . . In a few moments they'll rally for free money which is usually a cause that KCMO developers have to chase whilst wearing suits and schmoozing the denizens of City Hall.
Here's the pitch:
"Basic Income March is a grass roots movement that hopes to raise awareness about the need for Universal Basic Income in the wake of an evolving economy that is displacing hundreds of thousands of workers. Hundreds of others have joined the movement in New York, Houston, Berlin, and many cities around the globe. Help share a vision that was championed by Thomas Paine, Milton Friedman, and the great Dr. Martin Luther King. If you believe that a thousand dollars a month for everyone over the age of 18 will help raise many communities in Kansas City from the ground up, join us on October 26th at Washington Square Park as we march for worker dignity, freedom from scarcity, and a brighter future."
You decide . . .
This is a political ploy by one democrat candidate that is just wrong. Why? Here is why. First it's the same as raising the minimum wage nationally. Once it is established to be $1000 a month then prices adjust to take the raise away. Look what Federally guaranteed Student loans have done. They gave almost anyone going to college a loan. Then colleges and landlords and convenience stores all raised tuition, rent, gas and coffee and roller foods in price and you didn't even notice but your cash disappeared and you borrowed more the next time and the cycle repeated. The way to beat the system is education and advancement. Not always the easy road but much better than getting "free" anything and then the cost of free goes up. It just always happens. Don't be a lemming and follow this crowd because you're going in the wrong direction if you do.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't qualify, but I'd like to see us give it a try. It would certainly give those seeking jobs and those holding crap jobs a little leverage since they wouldn't have to take or keep undesirable jobs that have Hitler wannabes in charge. (Think Neal Patterson.)
ReplyDelete"I wants my free shit".
ReplyDeleteYes, you may have more of my money to help those without money. How much do you want? Almost all you say. OK. My home too. OK. No, no, not my dog. You say I still have to work to support those without jobs. OK. Next?

ReplyDelete"...the concept of a basic income isn’t new, it’s gained traction in recent years as policy makers grapple with alleviating poverty, growing inequality and the job losses that are likely to go hand-in-hand with automation.
Similar ideas have been advocated by prominent business people including bond investor Bill Gross and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and tests have also been carried out in countries including Canada, Uganda and Kenya.
As well as streamlining social security processes, proponents of the idea say it could also cut the health problems associated with poverty, saving money in the longer term."
^^^^Actually Nixon was in favor of one but was told he'd never get it passed.

This Free money is a long way from happening. The Corporations welfare comes first. There is one way it can be done.YOU stop Spending Trillions of Dollars on Wars FOR Oil natural resources And.Ousting Politicians in foreign countries. You spend the money in THE UNITED STATES ON INFRASTRUCTURE IT CREATES JOBS. AND YOU can give a few hundred to the unemployable. And The Only Democrat running with Some common sense is MS.GABBORD THE DEMOCRATS DON'T HAVE A CHANCE WITH Sleepy JOE or Warren. But Democrat,voters are not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Look they voted for Corrupt Hillary.
ReplyDeleteByron, I believe you.
ReplyDeleteIf there is ANYONE who gets up every day, ready to self flagellate themselves into narcissistic, self loathing extinction, based on a Death Star Tractor Beam of insecurity, cured only by identifying with those who hate him, it's you.
You should move to South Africa. They are killing, torturing and butchering white boys in a genocidal, paroxysm that would, in my opinion, bring you a Singularity type Nirvana of sweet release as you slowly burned up in tire around your neck, while the locals jeered at all things Caucasian.
You would become your own, personal Jesus, dying for your sins and all the sins of evil, poisonous, malevolent, by way of birth and history, white boys.
Then, finally, we could move on, Jesus/Byron, having died for our White Sins, exculpated into a new age, where Affirmative Action, quotas, set asides, legislation and racial discrimination against whites passe thanks to your sacrifice.
The playing field even, the memories of the Antebellum shame, expiated by you, our hero.
Tickets are cheap, if you buy in advance.
I look forward to a new world, where minorities are no longer filled with hate for whitey, thanks to you!
Call it the Funky UtopiA
ReplyDeleteWell fuckhouser as soon as you get off probation for child molestation ship your faggot ass off to Cuba. You better stay in the closet down there though they barbecue child molesters. As for your queer democrats bright idea to buy votes nobody with an IQ over would vote for any of the democrat queers and traitors you admire so much. I wouldn’t vote for any of the idiots for ten thousand a month I’d rather starve at least I’ll be free you fucking fag
ReplyDeleteOK. Now I KNOW this is a false Byron. Years ago he said he was an age that was a year younger than I am, and I'm more than a year older than 66. This Byron really must be the guy in Raytown.
ReplyDeleteWhy wait Byron? Need help packing? Money? Let us know.
