I'm on Disability for Schizophrenia, and being on disability made me see the government in a better light, despite the way my tiktok algorithm was trying to make me see the government as bad with real events and random people's thoughtpieces mixed in. I also learned to appreciate money, something I didn't care about and thought I was good bc of this belief; this appreciation of money helped me develop a better worldview that moved me inches closer to being able to work out of Disability(I'm a "failure to leave orbit" person[based on the non-medical "failure to launch syndrome"(i immediately worked, got my driver's license, and eventually had a mental breakdown and didnt work for years bc people were talking to me routinely and i started to feel bad(i was a loner for a long time and just wanted to be on my phone during break) and I wasnt the best worker like how i wanted to be(people openly mentioned it when i was trying my best to fit into that mexican stereotype). I want people to gain the benefit I had from being Disabled in the luckiest way(schizophrenic) and nearing my exit from disability, so I thought about how UBI could work, and I found one possible way: An income tax for all working persons that takes at least $100 from a post income taxed $950-$1,000 paycheck, per paycheck, from the working 25+, and the $1,000 per month UBI would be for the 18-24 year olds to figure out their independent life's financial situation. They can optionally work jobs before their 25th year, and figure out their working situation with the $1,000 safety net, and be more in favor of the government bc of UBI. 🤷🏽 just exercising the thinking brain

1) "only for 18-24 year old" is not an UBI, because it's not universal. 2) I guess you are in the US, where can anybody live on 1000 $ a month there?! 3) Why an UBI at all? Bonus) "[young people will] be more in favor of the government bc of UBI" What an odd thing to say. Almost as if the government is buying sympathy by giving free money to people, that they stole from taxpayers before. (edited)

If you give $1000 a month to the 18-24 year old group, they will blow it. Most have never had to manage money. A large percentage of those people are in college, so that would be weekend fun money that gets taken from a group that most likely have a family to support. (edited)

A vanity project. Led by charlatans, demagogues and incompetents. Based on uncosted, ephemeral promises of sovereignty, trading opportunities and jam tomorrow. A campaign which fuelled xenophobia, cynicism and inequality.

Republican strength in California

I must say I am very surprised at the strength of the Republican Party. Not only is the party gaining voters across the country. But even in California a blue state. Something is happening here and as a Republican I am happy with the new alliance of working people and diversity. People from all... read more

Rewatching The Simpsons episode episode 17 of season 11

This here is the episode that predicted the Trump presidency, rewatching it now to see if it mentioned Trump having a second term. Funny thing is, the rest of the prediction is that the U.S. will be economically ruined to a comical degree. Much of what Trump is planning on supports the likelihood... (edited) read more

Potential best governmental reaction to the Luigi Mangioni case.

Now, first of all, I am not a fan of politics, I am simply pushed into caring about the matter very frequently, it's a drag, not a pleasure. That all being said, the relation between politics and sociology is significant. Anyone here with a good enough background to push a controversial... read more
