Wherever they can

Black with no sugar is the best coffee, provided it's a quality brew.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who can eat taco bell without any sort of gastrointestinal distress.

Found Agent Smith

At this point I'd support Israel losing it's independence to Palestine.

That's the point

And it's all the same crap that's on Amazon, just without their markup.

I use Proton, but I also use their VPN and password manager. Aliases are also nice.

Lol, who's going to stop him?

Who's going to stop them?

It could also be them not caring. I know the call center I worked at only drug tested because clients required it, but they ignored weed for sure (CEO told me himself). If they were in a hiring crunch, they'd ignore other stuff.

No, I mean really. Our entire history is basically just us abusing one minority group after another.

They work bullshit jobs because harvesting crops and driving a bus are shitty jobs that basically no one wants to do.

I used to work those shitty jobs, and pay wasn't the issue

That networth isn't cash on hand. It's comprised of assets that can't be instantly converted into cash.

And like the other person said, it's not nearly enough for UBI.

Nowhere in your comment did you refute the fact that it's currently not possible to have a society where no one has to work. There still has to be human labor.

I said nothing about the distribution of wealth or supporting our current system.

Where's that money going to come from?

The point of UBI isn't to allow anyone to not work if they don't want to. It's so that everyone can live securely while still contributing to keeping society running, and allow those who can't work to live without worry about survival.

You can't have UBI without workers. It's still working to survive, just with a massive safety net.

It's definitely been a thing on here for well over a year.

A lot of those businesses still need to exist for society to function. They could be restructured into non-profits, but they'll still exist.

There will always be a need for jobs that people aren't going to just do for the hell of it. No one enjoys breaking their back harvesting crops or digging ditches.

I'm not saying the current system is any good, but the idea of no one having to work if they don't want to is not obtainable without some serious advances in robotics.

Yup, my SO is a tattoo artist who is about to have to close up shop because the economy is fucked, and isn't going to get better any time soon.

Luxuries are the first to go when people start tightening their belts.
