Well I was just kidding around with him trying to stay out of the drama. But since you ask....I want neither.
Go to work, and earn a paycheck. Simple.
Pretty much goes without saying....

Id also wager even 5 years from now or 2 years ago no one in office is even going to raise the proposal to simply end unemployment benefits without replacing it with something, and if they did the chances of it getting to a vote much less passing are so close to 0 its a rounding error.
My question is, given those things being true
A. Unemployment as it is or even was over a year ago
B. Ubi
C "none of the above"
is not an option. Thats the point of the question, given 2 choices you dont like, which has less downsides.
For me the answer is clear, ubi lacks most of the downsides of unemployment.
What i was driving at is that its pretty weird to present something thats better as a worse option or something to be ridiculed moreJaebo74 Thanks this. -
People that want UBI are just a bunch of lazy ####s. Period. They will benefit from it, while people like me fund it. It's blanket welfare. I'm not giving the fed five grand, getting back two grand, and seeing my other three grand get spent on Starbucks and kale.TokyoJoe, Trucker61016 and AModelCat Thank this. -

I also don't feel like shoveling out $5000 to get back $2000.nredfor88, Trucker61016 and God prefers Diesels Thank this. -
You maybe right. -
Thats the point.
People that want a sane ubi want it to replace crappy things that dont work well and have poor incentive structures to work. It allows a safety net to exist with none of the administrative burden and stupidity that our current hodgepodge of poorly thought out welfare programs have.
You want your money in your pocket, you probably know better how to use it than i do to help you. I agree, thats why on the merits, calling ubi worse than food stamps is pretty odd.
My lazy keister will butt out now, musta been the exhaust break i fixed an hr ago that had me thinking it was worth bringing up a policy debate.
Oh wait, im lazy though, i must not have fixes it yet, probably im waiting on a shop to do so. /s
