Why do you support UBI? And how do you respond to the main critiques levied against it?

How do yoi feel about Jagmeet Singh? You're a blue avatar but he pushed Trudeau leftwards by initially proposing CERB before UBI.

I feel like ubi guarantees everyone the necessaries they need, and is a way to make the poor richer rather than vice versa (e.g wealth tax). I respond by we are already spending billions-trillions on wars and bailouts, so why not take some of that and give it to the people

I like that he associates himself with Bernie and my opinion has gotten more positive recently, but I don’t think much.

Please watch this, it's only 85 seconds long and then a 10 second outro.

That being said, believe what you want mon ami. I'm pretty sure it's a Republican scam but you are entitled to your opinion. If you want to do more research, look into what happened to the US economy after 2008 the bank bailout and Trump tax cuts, but try to find numbers other than GDP. Stock buybacks happen a lot in those situations and it makes some of the economic numbers rise (including GDP), but the actual economy doesn't grow from it AT ALL. By that I mean, no jobs are created, no products are manufactured, no services are rendered, no sales taxes are collected, etc. It just makes the economy look stronger than it actually is because GDP is an imperfect way of measuring an economy.

This just ends up being a tool to prop up the M-C-M' chain, you know. UBI is capitalism on life support.

It'll be transformative for individuals to be sure, but it won't salvage the system permanently. We'll get infinite variations of different UBI schemes, and then Capital will collapse, and wage labor with it, and it will be understood that it was never necessary in the first.

It's clear you know nothing about capital markets or economics.

He’s my favourite person to have ever run for president. He is pragmatic, genuine, relatable, he gets the seriousness of the job, he is a great speaker and debater and yeah. The “UBI man” in “UBI Man good” is Andrew Yang

Canada's national ethos is stability and order, while the US's is liberty. This is a big reason why the gun issue is so different in Canada and the US.
