Instead of giving criminals UBI how about the police actually enforce shoplifting crime?

  Ain't gotta be either-or. Give everyone UBI and enforce the daylights out of crime.

    You've got my vote and my PAC dollars. Run!

    I dunno. Doing basic due-diligence level investigation of law enforcement policy and effectiveness first is a good idea. I'm a fan of UBI, but you may also want to do a web search or two before saying UBI should be 'U'.

      Both fair points, and realistically I’m not even really a fan of UBI given that it’ll be captured by landlords as increased rent. The real point I’m making is that these things are not actually at odds and they shouldn’t be portrayed as such.

        Sure. I'd buy that.

    Despite calls to defund the police, it hasn't happened, basically anywhere (and certainly not in any big cities). From last October: > Police department budget up 4.4% since 2019, despite SF officials making bold promises to defund https://abc7news.com/sfpd-budget-defund-the-police-department-funding/12321818/ https://abc7news.com/sfpd-budget-defund-the-police-departmen... The police budgets are as bloated as ever, and they remain as useless as ever.
