GlyphGryph posted:Why are all your questions so bad? I fixed that for you. I think the problem comes to down to the way we are throwing the terms around. In my mind, "basic life support" and cost of living are synonymous. Perhaps you educated folk are referring to the theoretical cost-of-living index when you make your arguments? I should re-phrase then: what would this "basic life support" index look like if that is going to be the basis of UBI? Also, will it have an inflation metric or will there be some type of fixed increase?

UBI is supposed to keep pace with basic life support, not cost of living, which has different meanings based upon where you live, what your family situation is, etc. GlyphGryph posted:A UBI would not be cost of living based and for drat good reasons and I dont understand how people can not get that.

Ok, now you just sound pretentious. How is basic life support not regionally specific? Are you talking about providing the actual goods to support life? If you are thinking about throwing money at the situation, I'm sorry, but your $800 might work in Alabama, but it's not going to work in New York City. Or perhaps there is a figure that will cover all possible locales, like say, $5,000/month? Well, where is the equality in that? I would own Birmingham with that sort of income. That is, ofcourse, if stores didn't magically start marking up goods to reflect my new source of income. Maybe when we can all source our goods needed to support life from the same place there won't be any regional bias, but until you can get your organic produce shipped to your house from Amazon you still have to factor in regional price differences.

Moose_Knuck posted:Funny, but please don't poo poo on the guy, especially because he's making interesting effort posts. How rare are effort posts? they seem great at first but then you get in too deep and you hit the suck zone event horizon at that point your posts are stretched out into an infinite string of point-by-point replies trapped forever in d&d
