get dumped into places like this.
- nickthemagicman 8y agoOr maybe free from the stressess of poverty they will finally have the stability to get clean. I hope UBI goes into these places. It will end a lot of misery and give people an escape ladder out of that world.
- EdwardDiego 8y ago...and? If UBI replaces money obtained from crime, then does the overall social cost rise or diminish? We have a decent social security system in my country, and as I often like to tell well-off people whinging about their taxes being given to the "spongers" - social security keeps society secure against poor people.
