Andrew Yang's national dividend proposal would be the next best thing to handing out jobs, better in a lot of ways because it would free up some mindspace for the minority of men who do have entrepreneurial potential but not the freedom to pursue their vision.

andrew yang's socialist pretend "dividend" that isnt from profit it just another grifter offering you someone else's tax dollars. It will fail abysmally or create an evil empire, like every other attempt at socialism. Both outcomes kill millions of people. Please stop pushing your political socialism as a solution to mens problems. It's no solution to anything. Its just political promises from someone who will never have to deliver.

  Resource constraints being a common precursor to suicide it's a bit strange to argue that a more redistributionist system wouldn't lower the suicide rate. I mentioned Yang specifically because that brand of redistributionism at least doesn't punish anyone who does get (or make) a job.

    "The solution to suicide is socialism" doesn't ring more true when you try to obfuscate it by claiming "common precursors" etc you know won't pass basic inspection. Yang's redistribution is step 1. You elect the guy who gets the "reasonable" dole in place, and every election after that becomes about who can offer the most money to the people collecting. Yang is a snake oil salesman and has no solution. His solution is actually step 1 - create a situation where politics becomes about individually promising people money. What a disaster of a candidate. The only thing that at all makes me feel better is that he's going nowhere.

      So he's the worst candidate because he's the least-bad candidate, thus making people more likely to accept a bad ideology?

        Nothing i said qualifies him as the least bad" you're doing some sort of interpretive reading there champ

        >1. You elect the guy who gets the "reasonable" dole in place I mean, the US already has food stamps, medicare, EI, disability... quite the socialist smorgasbord really. I thought you were saying those were 'unreasonable' while UBI was 'reasonable'. What did you mean then?
