@tim617x And based on MMT, it only ends up in corporate pockets because we aren’t contacting the money supply via taxes. Am I understanding MMT yet?

@guitarrandy Without corporate profits there would be no inflation

Eat the rich!!1!

@tim617x Inflation is caused by greed and gouging. Ubi aids the economy and stability of the country.

@guitarrandy We need Land Value tax to support UBI!

 

[steveo52988]

@guitarrandy A good argument for UBI doesn't exist.

@steveo52988 Fuck...

Your genius has won me over. What more do you have for us, my prophet?

 

[deborah23]

@steveo52988 You are the perfect argument for UBI.

@audreyl Canadians have 100% grown poorer in the last year. Unfortunately, inflation can make it look like fewer people are living in poverty. In reality our ability to afford food and housing has declined significantly.

@pete_martinez The income threshold of the poverty line is also increasing. Officially it is defined as half the median househ income. In the 2016 census that was 35k based on the 70k median household income. In the 2021 census that is 42k based on the 84k median household income.
