I do enjoy the occasional hillbilly porn. Don't judge. Unless you want to judge. Then judge away. What the fuck do I care. I got a personal note from A Tribe Called Quest (via Spotify) thanking me for being one of the top streamers of their new album, so your judgment to me is like a dying butterfly's fading memory of the anxiety it felt leaving the cocoon.

Guaranteed income, but you have to do something constructive to get it. Just an idea. What's your suggestion?

On Saturday I tweeted that I wanted to go to a sold out Zoe Keating concert and Zoe saw it and invited me as her guest, so I do not care whether you care or not about me judging you because, shit, man, it doesn't get cooler than Zoe. And she dm'd me.

I agree as a concept. BUT don't you have people with kids who can't really work? And rural people where there is no apparent work to do? etc...

When I was thirteen I remember my ex-aunt coming to a bar b cue wearing something tastefully low cut. This was before the In-Laws remake, and the Naked Mile. She had a hair growing from her breast (the Mofo was Italian, what do you expect) that was visible to my young eyes. since that day I have seen breasts on plenty of women IRL and no hairs. Do ladies pluck them or was my ex-aunt a freak?

Good points. I was trying to solve the problem of jobs. There are other problems too.

So you suggest offering jobs for those who can do them, but allowing aid to still flow to those who can't? do you see any potential problems with that?

Seems like if you can't work, you should get SSDI.

You mean expanding SSDI to include the technically able but skills-obsolete?
That's guaranteed income by another name, of course (which is the point you're trying to make, I assume).
What do we do with the administrators of the current transfer/safety net mechanisms. Because removal of those structures is what provides the savings to make guaranteed income possible.

Seems like we really need more immigration, maybe more to Hokum so they can show the dude how its done.

Dollars paid for rents have no multiplier. The kids with loans cancelled will spend, and invest in businesses. Better multiplier. Recall, we've a 66% consumer economy.

It is refreshingly straightforward. Here, for your Thanksgiving listening pleasure is a peppy, horn-driven funk blast that can be enjoyed by the whole family or by you alone, hiding in the bathroom with a gin & tonic and with the earbud wires dangling from the iPhone that you stare at relentlessly as if it will somehow produce some of the answers you desperately seek. The Nite-Liters with K-Jee:

I believe I've mainstreamed here. I now agree with GGG on politics. I now drink G&Ts after previously saying never.
But let me promise you this, I still think Fringey is the hottest of the FBs, Fringey has always been the hottest of the FBs. I am not changing.

Nit sure why you'd assume other programs are going away. I mean, it's food, health care and housing assistance, right? Maybe some SSDI goes away.
Anyway, I don't think we're removing any massive bureaucracies regardless. |
