Everyone in the Soviet Union went NEET cause there was no incentive to work

.... Which is why the Soviet Union went bankrupt and collapsed.


Why work when you can just let Ivan do all work while you spend your days getting drunk and collecting your weekly allotment of food rations, hygiene products, free clothing and gas money?


Sadly, the West is heading in the same direction with all this talk of Universal Basic Income.

Why work when you can just let Whitey do all the labor while you live in luxury hotels subsidized by the taxpayer?


It's the high IQ choice.

UBI pays the bills and goes to everyone, it won't set you apart.

it's actually worse for the lower-class.

this means that everyone basically gets welfare, not just those in need, and people with jobs have a salary on top of it

Not true, people with jobs won't qualify for those UBI benefits. UBI is just a social safety that gaurantees that if you lose your job your basic living needs are met.

So basically, NEETs who don't have families and thus have no incentive to work, can just check out of society and have their basic living needs subsidized by sheep taxpayers.

We're nowhere near the need for UBI as a society yet, check in again in 50-100 years.

where are you getting your definition of UBI from? the concept iseveryonegets the same check. key word:universal. otherwise it's just the welfare system we already have

Andrew would implement the Freedom Dividend, a universal basic income of $1,000/month, $12,000 a year, for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one’s work status or any other factor. This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.

Sorry, but if you think that's how it'll be implemented, you're mistaken. The CEO mogger who gets a salary of $2M/yr and another $5M in bonus payments will not qualify for UBI, no government would allow that.

The collapse is just around the corner . Gen queer doesn’t want anything to do with work it seems, no incentive apparently.
The deficit is going to historical levels with no way to pay it off . There’s no way this is sustainable.
Three months ago a guy claimed he had a vision and predicted Trump getting shot in the ear in an assassination attempt , he also said the US has a total financial collapse in 2025 , far worse than 1929 .
The guy has me freaked our srs

they could set a max. but ceo moggers pay close to no taxes, net zero income. so would qualify anyway

I don't doubt that implementing something like UBI will be anything close to smooth sailing, and a lot of issues and kinks will have to be figured out over the long term, but...

I can't help but think it's a more sensible direction to head in versus the situation we have now where we just create work for the sake of work and have an evergrowing amount of bullchit/nonsense jobs.

Boyo, no offense, but this is a flawed way of thinking. I do agree that a lot of jobs are total bullsh/t and unnecessary. But your objective should be to take those jobs and do NOTHING while leeching off the employer.

Anybody who wants to feel like they've made a positive contribution at their job and to society is a total cuck. Anybody that proudly leeches off their employer is a WINNER.

Weight Loss: Go carnivore or keto/low carb. Create calorie deficit. Buy packaged healthy meals if needed. Meat is good and heals, stop being lied to.

I disagree; if you ask old-timers who grew up in Soviet times, especially during the 1970s, they would say that quality of life was excellent, everyone could get jobs, food was plentiful, education was stellar etc. However, the Soviet leadership spent a tremendous amount of money to keep up with US in the arms race and their material/financial support of revolutions and communists around the world as well as directly getting involved in the catastrophic Afghanistan conflict on top of trying to quell nationalist and ethnic tensions led to complete economic and structural collapse of the Soviet Union.

Before COVID when I actually had to show up to the office, every employee would do about 1 hour of actual work and spend the rest of the day gossipping and socialzing.

And the managers and execs would fill up their calendars with pointless meetings to pretend like they're actually working.


It's a total joke. That's why I say people who actually want a meaningful job where they make positive contributions to their company and to society are total cucks.
