    One economic incompetent person living off the govt just endorsed another. Seems about right.

    Nobody wants to explain how the poor are getting stolen from when they are getting 12k per adult back?

    I'm sure you are much more dialed in than Elon.

    I don’t know if Yang intends to replace other tax measures with his new ones or not. But politically, taxes are always additive.

    He literally said in his Joe Rogan interview that current govt benefits (ie food stamps, etc) get deducted from the $1,000/month. Not sure how else to say it.

    I’m not dialed in enough to get billions raised for a company that has lost $9 billion and counting so far, much less get sanctioned by the SEC and steal from my stockholders to bail out my cousin’s solar failure. But keep attacking the messenger because you don’t like the message Little Jimmy.

    Can you put billionaire next to your name?

    Right, but thats exactly the point. The idea is that UBI eventually replaces other welfare programs as people are incentivized to take the $1000, which has no bureaucracy or red tape behind it unlike other welfare programs such as food stamps. Food stamps are a great example because they have weird restrictions and actually make it harder in many cases for low income people to buy actual healthy food. UBI is a far more flexible and empowering replacement. From a conservative point of view I would think this makes more sense and Im surprised you seem to be arguing for other welfare programs.

    Nope. Our President can, but that doesn’t stop you from disagreeing with him. Is the rule now we can only question billionaires’ beliefs if they are Trump, but not if they are someone you agree with like Elon’s? Can I use this “Can you put billionaire next to your name?” response every time your sandy vag gets worked up over something Trump tweets?

    Little Jimmy moving into HondoFS territory now...

    What are those restrictions?
