The Largest Study Ever on UBI Was Just Conducted—The Results Are Disappointing for Advocates
  • Cooperatives operate on equal votes, not equity, which is a potential problem in itself. Equal votes over who has the bigger stake. Liberal economics is better. Trying to impose a system instead of simply giving economic agents the freedom, and make suggestions themselves on how best to form and run business. Equality isn't a economic good.

  • The Largest Study Ever on UBI Was Just Conducted—The Results Are Disappointing for Advocates
  • There is no such thing as economic democracy because democracy isn't economics. It is politics. Socialism originally was a theory that capitalism was blocked by the use of money. To replace money, you need socialism to be centrally plan how and what people will work. Otherwise, who will take up jobs that are least pleasing, such as taking out the trash. What people claim to be socialism today is an idea of accessing resources at the expense of others. These are government programs with socialist traits, for example, how the Baby Boomers enjoyed the benefits of entitlement programs while generations afterward are going to foot the bill. That is a Ponzi scheme, which how socialism works, in reality, to be pleasing for people. It is a system that requires suckers who do most of the work.

  • Kamala’s Inane Talking Points › American Greatness
  • No idea what you are talking about. Victor Davis Hanson has a Wikipedia page about him. There is no Wikipedia page about you, and your comments are raging at something in an unclear fashion. Since it is gibberish, I just block gibberish.

  • The Largest Study Ever on UBI Was Just Conducted—The Results Are Disappointing for Advocates
  • Or interpreted another way, just lazy people. This is why UBI is not instituted often, if ever. Because lazy people will not work if they are paid to be lazy. They will work fewer hours. When people work overtime, they work longer hours. Lazy people don't benefit a democracy. In the long run, taxes will decrease. It might work for votes and only to get votes, and nothing else.

  • The Largest Study Ever on UBI Was Just Conducted—The Results Are Disappointing for Advocates
  • FEE didn't conduct the study. In regard to economics, libertarians have more credibility than socialist. Socialist don't care about economics. Socialism isn't economics. Economics is almost synonymous with capitalism and free markets. Instead of raging, maybe you should explain what socialism is, and, how it works, and why it is superior.

  • Sweden told people to open their hearts to immigrants 10 years ago. Its U-turn has been dramatic
  • So we need to put up with high crime rates, disharmony, and paying taxes for welfare recipients, because my ancestor was an immigrant? Let me think about it… No. If my ancestor felt like he had to emigrate, he, or she did so, because they wanted to leave that country, not bring that country with them.

    Is Sweden better off with immigrants, yes, or no? The answer is no, and the Swedish voter lives in a state that is worse due to unfettered immigration, than without it. This is the same sentiment across Europe that is bringing the “far right” into government, or closer to government. Now you can be emotional about it, or you can be reasonable about it. Do I want to walk the street safely, or do I feel good about supporting diversity, because that is what I think is a good? You think rich people put up with this? They live separately in their own world. The politicians don't put up with it. Not your elites, at least. For the Swedes, their open-minded idealism backfired. The immigrants, they openly greeted into their country, are not so open-minded.

  • McDonald's sues top meat packers for allegedly colluding to inflate the price of beef
  • Beef is expensive because of the drought. Remember climate change?

    1. When there is a drought, there is less water for cows, and grass feed. When there is less food and water for cows, they can't survive. Which leads to number 2.

    2. When cows don't thrive, their numbers drop. That means less beef that can be sold in volume. Which leads to number 3.

    3. When there is less beef to make profits from, then prices must increase to maintain the survivability of ranchers and the beef industry, as well as demand putting pressures on a smaller supply.

    Causation: noun — the action of causing something.

    This lawsuit reminds me of the ignorant customer who feels the beef industry is scrounging them. McDonald's needs to pay their workers 50 dollars an hour.
