This guy definitely lacks the polish of seasoned politicians. But UBI is kinda inevitable, in one form or another.
The irony of UBI is if you roll it out to soon you’ll shoot yourself in the foot and will eventually won’t be able to afford it And have to roll it back. Really any kind of over the top social spending that’s not based on realistic income
I don't get it. What's wrong with what he said? And how is it funny? In fact, we must celebrate the fact that for the first time in history we have a candidate that's openly atheist. This is huge.
Why is it huge?
Nobody ever dared to do it. It's a shame that people of color, minority religions, women, or even all three (Ilhan Omar) were able to win elections before anybody had the courage to run being openly atheist. That's how backwards our voters are. But finally, he's breaking ground, after several dozen closeted atheist presidents and a huge number of closeted atheist senators and congressmen. I mean, come on, do you think Obama or Bernie believe in God? Of course not, but neither had the courage to say so.
“I believe in science” is a new idiotic leftist religion.
Yeah it’s definitely stayed as a religious faith. Honestly I think a civilization needs to collectively remember and double down on the Enlightenment principles of critical thinking deductive and inductive reasoning
I think he is trying to use a vocabulary most voters would understand.
UBI? No thanks. “Need” now means wanting someone else’s money. “Greed” means wanting to keep your own. “Compassion” is when a politician arranges the transfer. -Joseph Sobran
So fucking true.
I mean it's all well and good to believe you don't have any responsibility to maintain the civilization that allowed you to be successful. I'd call that greed any day of the week.
The pitch on UBI sounds v similar to someone telling me how blockchain is going to rule the world.
I wonder how many of us Blinders can even vote while being so worked up by American politics.
It’s fun to laugh while the oceans die
I thought the oceans were rising?
They’re rising and acidifying from absorbing so much carbon. That attacks the most basic bottom level food chain that helps keeps much of the rest of the food chain alive and also producing at least 1/4 of the oxygen we breathe. Visibly the coral reefs are dying right before our eyes. That’s easy to observe. But the oceans are indeed dying in the way we understand them. Good news for the rise of slime and jelly’s. Not so good for everything else.
Democratic primary is a cluster fuck
