Why can’t you all just pick yourselves up by your bootstraps like the rest of us hard-working Americans?

“It removes the incentive to find a job.”

12k will not allow niccaz not to work..

That's just a given breh. We've been in an oligarchy for a while now. Cities in America will be like Paris where only the rich/well-off live in the city and all the poor folk live in the suburbs.

The wealth disparity has been widening for decades at this point....shyt gonna get realer than real in 5-10 years time

Especially in the downtown locations..

If you're black and living in the city, best believe it'll be on the outskirts..

already happened to PHX

the rich cacs and gay rich cacs have almost taken over it seems

so bad that central high school is taking a hit, by having a decrease in kids at their school.

Give a fish instead of teaching how to fish

yeah but they're turning all the lakes, rivers, and neighboring seas into fish farms and even the current fishermen are not able to provide for themselves with their current skillset.. does it still make sense to teach people how to fish?

[Paper Boi]

hasn't he been doing this for a couple years now?

i feel like i first heard this story in 2016/17

Yes he did, that's why Yang's name comes up in the interview - this is a remix to yangs plan.

and this isn't really a UBI, this is more of a stipend for a select group of people

Tubbs doesn't support Andrew Yang's plan
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang has made basic income a prominent part of his platform. Yang says that if elected, he would give $1,000 a month, or $12,000 a year, to every adult US citizen over 18. He calls this basic-income plan the "Freedom Dividend."

But his proposed program would require participants to forgo their existing social-security benefits (with the exception of retirement benefits). Veterans and differently abled citizens would continue to receive their current benefits alongside a basic income.

and that's why I trust his implementation over Yangs. Any day.

He had a plan years ago to give parolees money for staying out of trouble . I believe he was on the Daily show discussing his proposal.
