In a perfect world "job guarantee" would probably be better than UBI but the latter is so much easier to implement than the former I'm just gonna go ahead and side with UBI.

we would have had a jobs guarantee in the 70s had Carter not neutered the plan for no apparent reason

generally speaking the reason carter did most of the bad things he did was because he had bad politics

im a little afraid of what zuckerberg's notion of UBI is

he went to alaska on his "totally not running for president" tour and wrote like 1500 words about the check that citizens get for $1500 or 2000 a year has really opened his eyes to how UBI can be implemented and the positive effects thereafter.

so, let's split the different and say $1750/year.

you get $2000 a year but they're ZuckBucks and can only be spent on clothes for your Clash of Clans VR character

It's an incompetent comic-relief character.

e: also zuckerbucks is better than zuckbucks because then his supporters can proudly call themselves zuckers and wonder why the rest of us are laughing

do you know how impossible it is to find a clip of one punch man you can actually feed into an online video-to-gif converter? extremely difficult it turns out!! they look vhs-y because i sized them up from a video where it was small enough to not trip copyright detection

As :discourse: as that 24% number for Clinton/McCain voters is, I do wish it would get mentioned more that like ~9% of Obama primary voters went to McCain. People do weird poo poo when it comes to primaries and GEs.
it was something like 7% of ukip members who voted to remain. theres always that weird cross section that votes like that and i dont think the sanders -> trump supporters was that much higher.

Which they absolutely should have been able to do. Bernie and the Democrats' insistence that the decision must be overturned is both bad policy and politically infeasible to accomplish. I wish they'd talk about public financing and the DISCLOSE act instead.

Bernie, the Dems, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are actually 100% correct CU despite the epic concern trolling from fishmech & co.

She was tricked! You can't blame Clinton for voting for the Iraq War, that silver-tongued devil George W. Bush clouded her mind and fooled her senses with his elaborately constructed deceit.
