- PeterStuer 8y agoAs counter intuitive as it may seem, the universal basic income is not there to 'eradicate poverty', but a final Neo-liberal hail-Mary to save their socioeconomic market ideology snake that has been eating its own tail.
- phil248 8y agoThe universal basic income isn't "there" at all. If our liberal masters are in fact pushing for a universal basic income, they are doing so in such a subtle fashion you'd almost think they opposed it with every fiber of their being.
