      Heard @ScottAdamsSays ask if you could explain away Socialism in a sentence: Short answer: In Socialism, inefficient solutions are allowed to stay in the system, while in Capitalism, bad ideas lose. Longer answer:https://youtu.be/Itt_uC-McAg

      In the case of Universal Basic Income, what inefficiencies are involved in writing checks?

          Somewhere between us writing the check to the government, and the government writing the check to everyone else.

          Funding the checks would be an issue

          Checks not based on skill set, which reduces efficiency, motivation, and production

          On whose account? You’re removing money from more productive uses.

          Assume UBI, so a monthly check gets written, and the recipient spends all the money on the first day. Are we going to allow that person to just go without until their next check?

          Using checks is inefficient. Funds transfers would make more sense for efficiency.

          If the govt has a monopoly on writing the cheques then how would we know if there was a more efficient way of doing this?

          Take all that math out. Make UBI $5 a year. Don’t worry; it’ll go up.
