Corporations and investors provide society with goods, services, jobs and innovation. What do bums who need “universal basic income” provide again?
In general, recipients of UBI end up in better employment positions than they had before receiving UBI. That means they pay more in taxes and contribute more to society. They also are in better health, which means those that were truly poor and on medicaid before, are no longer costing society as much in medical costs.
But keep licking that boot.
Is that why they need free land and government money so much?
“Need it”? They simply want it & they have the leverage to get it. It’s a symbiotic relationship. Same way I’ll gladly do a valuable person a favor, but won’t help a bum. I get nothing out of it.
Congrats, the rich have you convinced that your only value is helping them get rich under the guise that anyone who doesn’t is a bum, which is designed to make you feel like a big boy. Your utter lack of empathy is showing. You will never truly be a part of their club, they may tell you are, but the doors will never quite open for you, because in reality YOU are the bum to the rich.
I was lucky enough to be born to rich parents. Life’s not fair, sucks to suck I guess. Don’t have kids if you don’t have money, they’ll have a shitty life. Easy way to prevent the unfairness of life.
When you see people on Lemmy casually joking about eating the rich, they’re talking about you.
Then step out your parents door without a cent and see how long til you’re some bum, apparently undeserving of kindness or empathy. During slavery, slaves were told they weren’t in the right position for children either. All this technological advancement and according to you it’s still down to the exploited to accept the joys of life aren’t of their station.
Christ. You sound indistinguishable from me when I was a 21 year old know-nothing piece of shit. Now I’m embarrassed for both of us.
You seem to have turned up just fine.
And yet they won’t “invest” without them. Curious.
Not shitting outside, and catching or dying from treatable diseases, and income tax if they get a job. If they don’t have to live outside, everyone benefits.
