  • That does explain the theoretical concern, thank you.

    However, your landlord getting $1 more doesn't make the $2 you get "useless". Higher taxes or rent caps later will help even more, but aren't a requirement for the policy to be a net gain right now.

    UBI has already been tested in practice. Is there evidence that a majority of it goes towards rents?

  • I agree with you wholeheartedly. My criticism is against the anti-UBI people making oversimplified theoretical arguments as if it's never been tested.

    TIL Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, secured insurance coverage for the complex, including terrorism risk, six weeks before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

  • By Osama bin Laden, no less. He really had it out for those buildings.

  • North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine | Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

  • So then vote for someone who supports ranked choice voting. Just because we're losing very badly to the FPTP supporters doesn't mean to give up.

  • A Michigan elected official is married to a neo-Nazi. Some constituents have a problem with that.

  • I've switched from assuming misguided good faith to assuming closet Nazis.

  • There's a good deal of variation between people. A manual laborer can't be expected to work past 65, but many white collar workers are perfectly capable well beyond. Compare Trump to Bernie.

  • Elon Musk's version of Wikipedia is 'cribbing' information from the real one: report

  • It's gotten to the point where now if someone links to YouTube, I'll think they're more likely to be wrong than if they just asserted it with no link. Because if it was true, it would probably have a better source.
