Hey all
Interesting clip here. What do you think of the idea of a guaranteed basic income from the government, in an attempt to basically eradicate poverty and the ideology that we must 'work to live'?
Is this a utopian scenario, where the state takes care of everyone and humanity can live free of the woes of poverty and the 'survival of the fittest' rat race?
Or is it a recipe for some communist/socialist nightmare?
(please ignore the fact that the dude looks like he just did a bunch of lines in the greenroom)
Guaranteed Basic Income?
This is basically why I'm a leftist.
This is why I think a two party system is a broken system. When every policy has to fall into right or left, you have concepts like less economic hierarchy and crazy SJW social policies in the same package deal. We need a system more like Europe where there are at least 4 solid options on the table.
what does the vid have to do with a 2-party system? sorry guys not following
the dude was saying with all the $$ available, and with all the $$ banks are/were able to create out of nothing to bail out the banks, he's saying they could have given 50 grand to everyone and covered the whole nation's basic needs, thus stimulating the economy directly, and not via the imaginary trickle-down strategy they try to convince us of

In Canada we have many parties to choose, but for some reason we are all stuck in an idea that there are only reallt 2 main ones, and the rest are fluff not to be taken seriously
