But all these sentiments are wrapped up in the way things are now. Why is welfare only meant for people who have fallen on hard times? I would think that working at McDonalds is a kind of vindictive welfare for people who have fallen on hard times, and UBI is a lot more humanitarian than making someone’s life a living hell because a large company has convinced us their employees aren’t indentured servants.

> Why is welfare only meant for people who have fallen on hard times? Because not making enough to support yourself is hard times. You should be actively working to get out of that. Go to school, get a better job, get off welfare. There are tens of thousands of jobs that pay very very well (welding, plumbing, construction, programming, etc). They are begging for people to apply.
