carl_g 568 Posted March 16, 2019 The Mayor of Newark, NJ is looking into a "universal basic income" program. They are looking to pay residents some amount of money for doing nothing. Not a lot of information but how are they going to pay for this? If the people don't have enough money to live and need govt. handouts, how will Newark subsidize this? Do they get money from the state? They certainly wont get it from tax paying residents of the city if there even are any...I just ran across this. http://www.fox5ny.com/news/newark-universal-basic-income Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free money and non-work are good things. And there’s no worries about where it comes from. It’ll come from the government who will get it from the billionaires. We don’t worry about the “how” anymore. We just cry for the “want”. Silly boy. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All this crap only either needs to just be proposed, promised or only last a year. As long as it brings votes to the whores who want to stay in power.

Sota 1,191 Posted March 17, 2019 look i'm dead seroious. we all band together, rent a cheap ass apartment in newark, split the rent (20-30 ways should make it stupid cheap), and we all can collect. I mean, we're going to be putting the money into the system anyways, we might as well try and get as much back out as we can. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
