    I am literally quoting experts whose job it is to design the system, if you did even the most basic research into UBI you would realize the reason it works is BECAUSE it cuts out the bureaucracy, that is the greatest cost of any welfare system (like I already said!) and because there are more poor people than there are rich people, it’s pretty simple math to understand that it’s cheaper and more efficient to just give EVERYONE money with minimal oversight. More efficiency = more money to poor people, faster.

    I am not “sitting here complaining” I am stating the most basic facts about UBI, while you just keep saying “give poor people money, don’t give rich people money” over and over with no understanding of the actual mechanisms involved. You literally said in your post “gives poor people money without the need to jump through a million hoops” THAT IS THE BUREAUCRACY! You are so dedicated to not letting “rich people” (whatever the fuck that means to you) money that you are against the most efficient system ever devised to give poor people money, do you not understand how ridiculous that is? Ever heard the term “cutting off the nose to spite the face”?

    You just said you want to create a fair system, UBI is that fair system, but you refuse to accept it because oh no some rich people might get an amount of money that is meaningless to them. You have allowed your hatred to consume you, and blind you to everything you want to happen.

    Your responsibility is to be informed about things that you discuss, and not to spout useless drivel and argue without any idea what you are arguing for.

    My responsibility is to combat disinformation from people like you, and having done so I will stop trying to engage an unarmed opponent in a battle of wits.

      If you’re just going to insult me, I’m not obligated to continue this. Have a nice day.

        You refuse to listen, have no idea what you’re talking about, and keep repeating the same drivel over and over.

        Then when I put actual logic in front of you, you cry about being insulted and run away? Pathetic.

          If you want to try again, present your arguments without insulting my intelligence. I’m not obligated to interact with you. No one is obligated to interact with you.
