RE: Universal Basic Income: What it Means, How it Works, & Why it Will Transform Our World
Cutting military budgets to free up funds for far better projects like UBI is a genius idea. However if a country cuts its military spending by 80% for example, to make a real UBI possible, then that country would most likely be invaded by some malicious group of people... or so is the story the governments would like us to believe. To a certain degree military is needed in some countries. but We the People must really evolve our emotional intelligence. Greed and cruelty must become an extinct part of our nature as the human race. Slowly we get there... or so i like to believe
If we cut our military budget by 80% we could still destroy the entire world. I support a strong military to defend our borders. Our borders are not in Europe, Korea, Israel etc. I don't see the need for a UBI. I think we should just start scaling back our failed welfare programs.
UBI is for everyone, UBI is the next level of "wellfare". A UBI is a new idea and has never been possible before, but it is becoming more and more possible. Why should the government get money to push war ect. when a military budget cut could literally set the entire USA finnancially free. if every single poor person suddenly become financially able to do basic things financially i really believe america would be a better place. Sure some people would still do drugs and still do alcohol... but i do believe the benifits are better than what the military provide. Humans need a massive mental shift in my humble opinion. but i dont mean to upset anyone, i hope the conversation is going well. Im a European living in South Africa in case that mattered in this conversation :)
You can give your money away now. I'd probably pick falling bitcoin over a inflationary UBI currency.
