5/ so, in the end, we get down to: * X is a tool that can do a TON of harm, if misused * X is a tool that can do a TON of benefit, if used wisely * it is effectively impossible to ban X, because people will use it anyway guns / fire / debt /shrug

7/ UBI is wrong bc no man should be taxed to transfer money to another (hard line libertarian version) ...or should never be taxed to transfer money to able-bodied non-needy others (softer version). Both for moral & incentive reasons. Get a job, sir!https://twitter.com/DShaw873/status/1105886847153123329 …

Replying to @GolfKingYang @MorlockP
The only way to approach paying for UBI is to route ALL welfare spending (including SS) into it. Which is kinda the point: rather than having a massive welfare state where everyone needs to prove entitlement to a massive bureaucracy, just send everyone a povertyline+$1 check.

This is in the philosophy of "if you're going to do it wrong, at least do it right." UBI is a terrible idea. Giving everyone a salary, confiscated at gunpoint from the productive, just for breathing another 30 days is ruinous. Welfare state is likewise a terrible idea.
