Abolish TSA in favor of UBI. let’s gooo
- _heimdall 2y agoLet's first define how the heck a UBI would actually help. Writing everyone a check just increases prices and racks up more federal debt. The real kicker is that we simply can't test it. There have been studies trying to do a real world test, but the data is useless because they can only test a small bubble of people getting free cash in the middle of our existing system where no one else gets that same money.

- _heimdall 2y agoDo you mean the government should give them jobs? The same situation as how the TSA is described above? That's still a failure in my opinion. If the government has to create jobs for the sole purpose of employing people then our economy failed to create enough demand for real jobs and people failed to create demand for their own labor independently.
