Of which post, the porn addiction one or the use of Universal Basic Income to decrease wealth inequality? They are both pretty dumb, but for different reasons.

UBI is a tool that is being promoted by fashy tech-bros to quell the masses with the least acceptable amount of money to shut them up on their calls for actual equality. It will also be used to drop other forms of support for poor and marginalized communities, and will be extemely easy to not increase along-side inflation - you may see it as a way to put some non-means tested cash into everyone's pocket, but it will never be a way to decrease inequality, challenge the status quo, or substantially help the poor and oppressed.

I could not care less about what the article says. I am telling you what is, and what isn't. UBI is not a solution, no matter what the shitty article says, or what you say.

So why then are you commenting and complaining like I just argued for that form of UBI?
