the computer is an example. the point remains, no one is going to spend more money on the same thing if they can get it cheaper somewhere else. why do you think wal mart bodied everything lol.

if you can't eat good off 250 a month something is wrong with you, im also not saying people would want to live like this, but they might prefer it to working a job they dont want to have a little extra money

there are countries where people work less than us and live better, despite having less money per capita, do you understand this?

why work at all if it isn't to survive/better yourself? do you think the lady at mcdonalds just loves making burgers? this is the strangest viewpoint i've ever encountered. the whole point of working is paying your bills and buying things you want lol. for me at least. if you have kids its providing them with a good life and experiences. but no one works because they like working, and tons of people if presented the opportunity to be able to live without working, wouldn't work. the whole idea of ubi is to take that stress off of people. the 1k is the starting point.

they sell the foodstamps because they don't need 650 dollars worth of groceries and perc's are expensive
