I'm not GGP who argued against UBI. Nor did I make any argument for or against UBI.
And I didn't make any argument even approaching "if we give people free money they will be lazy and sink into a life of dependence."
In fact, my argument was that if we make the safety net robust, we will allow people to be more productive and entrepreneurial.
I'm not sure who you're arguing with, but it's not me. Are you sure you replied to the right comment?
- uoaei 6y agoWell that wasn't made clear. I was reacting to: > We'd just see people with no incentives continue down the road of poverty. Why would you reply to my comment defending your stance as if I had challenged it? Why are you injecting yourself into that conversation if you're not supporting the claim that I explicitly referenced, and making it look like you're replying to the things I'm saying by quoting me directly?
- nobody9999 6y agoI guess one (or both) of us need to go back and re-read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, because IIRC the changes I suggest are completely antithetical to those expressed in Rand's writings.
