I'm not that literate, I'm a high school drop out, and they didn't teach me to type at battleschool.

I think my only stand out academic claim to fame, is that I passed my Infantry Section Commanders Course at 19 years of age, which ties me as the youngest to ever pass that course.

I want a PBI, Personal Basic Income, where I alone get money on a monthly basis that is not tied to my productivity as a worker. The upsides of this would it would be a lot cheaper for the country. Instead of spending for 320 million people, they only be doing it for 1 person, me. The downside is I'd want a hell of a lot more than $1000/month, maybe 4 to 8 times that. I'd probably need at least $50k per year to feel comfortable doing jackshit and living off the PBI alone.

I was told on here that printing unlimited money is the way to go, so why hold yourself back? You got something against bottomless tendies and pussy?

The money supply is already expanding, it's just all being collected by Wall Street banks and Silicon Valley, while everybody else is short of cash flow.

I'm trying to keep it within reason and be a good steward of the money that I am entitled to by the taxpayers.

 Maybe only give the UBI to people who do?
Who decides what wages for what work? An attorney is not going to work for the same wage as a HR Office Manager...

Most Attorney's hate their jobs.....


Sure, we don't really need attorneys.....but I'm sure you could find other examples....

Video game brokers are the only truly indispensable jobs, post-scarcity.

Maybe sex robots also.
