As automation begins to take over more and more jobs we will need a basic income. That is just going to become reality. Wait till the stem jobs go away completely. Once competent and intelligent people can no longer get work we will see a larger push for minimum income.

I agree its not that far off. I wonder what will happen when lawyers aren't really needed you just need a layman who can speak reasonably well or Doctors or Engineers.

So tell us this:

When the mom blows her money and can't afford rent/her share of assisted living, and/or food, for either herself and/or especially her kids, the system will then be setup to let her and her kids pay for her bad decision(s), right?

I have a better idea. I think we should give the entire year's worth of basic income in a lump sum on the first day of the year. Let them figure out the rest

I don't get it, what part do you think is easy to scam?

The people getting more won't opt in and the people getting less will opt in.
People have an amazing way of screwing things up. I once ran a wireless store a business account gave up a huge bag of various small candies. I used to leave them out. Cheap assed people who worked close by kept pigging on them and talking crap to the customers who visited my store. I shut the free candy spigot off.
This wasn't one person either.

so, an effort to significantly reduce the welfare state, enforce "bootstraps" economic policy, and eliminate a massive swath of government bureaucracy, you'd think the conservatives would be drooling over themselves to see something like this not only tested, but work.

Toss in a private company doing the testing with their own money, taxpayer free.

sounds like a win.

But no--apparently conservatives double-down on their ignorant willingness to let the status quo continue while claiming the status quo is destroying this country.

Come on--it's because there's a black president, right? It's because you are feeling butthurt about feminazis in your video games and psychopathic students trying to squelch all forms of speech?

It is because you felt pressured into nominating a tiny-handed midget failure of a human because the female candidate was somehow unconsionably worse?

what is it? I can't fathom how you logically argue against both sides of the argument. Is it because you prefer to criticize everything "the others" do, all the while refusing to offer up real suggestions of improvement?

That's all you guys have become? Petulant children that just want mommy to make your sandwich and leave you alone, while you complain on the internet about the world that has wronged you for giving you pimples?

The modern american conservative reminds me of the middle-aged japanese kids that frequent used panty vendors and watch cartoon porn all day. No solutions, no contribution to the world, immature sociopathic tendencies, and nothing but bitter resentment for the outside world that has caused all the evils in teh world to make their pathetic existence miserable.

Why do no conservatives offer even a cursory counter solution to this? First world developed countries do have minimum requirements towards responsible upkeep of its citizenry, mind you. Bear in mind that no despotic 3rd world regressive suggestions are valid.
