    I really, really, really hope they try it out. Maybe then when the economy is destroyed with inflation, those plebs will shut up and stop asking for it.

    Though there’s always the fear that they make excuses to justify that it wasn’t “done right”. Who knows… where have I seen that before? 🤔

      Imagine saying this when there was literally just a news story on Lemmy in the past day or two, about Oregon trialling a UBI dealio, with positive results. Oh and the like… piles of people who have disproven what you say a dozen times over.

      Still waiting for the evidence that CERB caused the inflation and not global supply and demand issues. Considering most nations didn’t do their own version of CERB but still suffered inflation I think I’m going to be waiting forever.

        I mean, you’re ignorant enough to fail to understand that most world debt is denominated in US dollars. You really think you understand shit about the world economy to make that statement? Do you even understand why the US dollar is called the “world reserve currency” and what the implications are? Probably not, yet you think you’re qualified to open your mouth and have a dumb opinion. Go read a book.

            You’re ignorant, stupid, and you can’t even research anything online because the best you can do is listen to your dumb commie friends who fill your head with nonsense. Take this paper and get fucked in the ass and learn to search for things online: https://research.stlouisfed.org/publications/review/2022/12/22/demand-supply-imbalance-during-the-covid-19-pandemic-the-role-of-fiscal-policy/

            But is this gonna change your mind? Absolutely not. You’re gonna find an excuse to question whatever information is delivered with this peer-reviewed paper, because you’re in a cult. You’re NOT ALLOWED to believe anything outside what the cult taught you. This is why discussions online is a waste of time. Because most people are just cultists.

            I mean… you don’t even know how the US dollar affects other currencies… how much dumber can you get?! What the fuck do you even know in this world other than what you’re taught on mainstream media?

            My last response is unchanged. Go read a book. I guess I’ll be waiting for that forever.
