-The income is enough to keep a household above the poverty line.

Not really. Poor people spend all the money they have. If you are giving them more money, it isn’t neutral. Whereas a wealthy or middle class person may have saved said money, this money will go directly to goods and services.

That’s not really an important counterargument though. “Teach a man to fish” is, by design, a simple analogy. It assumes you aren’t going to stretch it to ridiculous proportions.

Thanks Mitch. My son is four and, based on your advice, I just gave him the keys to my CRV and sent him out on the highway. Can you give me any further advice for a driving four-year-old that I can text to him, both to keep him safe but also to accelerate the racing/learning process? Thanks.

As someone who leans right on fiscal issues, I wholeheartedly support Universal Basic Income. While it makes many conservatives freak out, I see it as an important way to simplify our benefits structure while leveling the playing field. Two important examples:

What I’ve always been curious about is once the safety net is gone and everyone gets UBI, what happens when some people inevitably spend irresponsibly and require assistance?

I’m no fan of conservative Christians, but to be fair, that’s not exactly what many of them say.

If they get so good that there is a risk it would reduce the need for safety nets, we are already winning.

See, that would require a level of self awareness and an awareness of what is and is not considered professional behavior.

So because white people were assholes in the past, you’re looking for revenge now, not equality?

Nah, her problem was she came off a stark raving lunatic with a not well thought out argument. I dont agree with anything she said, however, it doesnt look like she prepared at all for this. It looks like she went on looking for a fight, that was evident from the moment she opened her mouth. That tells me she…

It’s really not hard to understand his comment. He’s saying the Nazis are wrong, and the black separatists are wrong, and he would tell them both they are wrong. He’s not saying they are EQUALLY wrong, just that they are both wrong.

wanting a day with people of your race and your race only (while excluding the descendants of those who enslaved your people) is not racist

Why would Tucker be embarassed? She’s the one who wants to bring segregation back, not him.

I’m not going to debate with you what a “real life example” of racism against whites entails. The interview that got this professor fired was about a group holding a meeting that excluded white people. That’s racism by anyone’s definition. If you disagree, you are wrong. If anyone holds an event that excludes all…

Because she’s arguing for segregation by race. 

“I was publicly lynched,”

I’m honestly curious, because I cannot for the life of me understand.. Why would it be wrong to include people of all races in a celebration? Why would a group exclude a race from their “anti-racist” organization. If the tables were turned “we are having a party, and no blacks are allowed” would everyone be accepting…

The crazy thing is she teaches Mass Comm and therefore should know how to present herself in a public setting. There are so many things she could have done or said that would have presented her position without being insulting and reflecting poorly on her employer.

That said, she’s an adjunct at a community college. …

Hate to agree with Tucker Carlson on anything, but hes absolutely right.
