I have no idea why you decide to post a lecture on how you believe the economy works, but... thanks?

Only your last sentence has any relevance to my post, so we'll go with that. Taxes. Fine, taxes is the answer to where the money will come from. Except in the US, we are already deep in dept, so we still need to raise taxes/cut cost BEFORE we even get back to even. THEN we would need to raise taxes even more to implement UBI. Quick math: $500/mo for 262 million adults would be $1.5 TRILLION dollars. Last year corporate/income taxes totaled around $3 trillion.

So, are you still sure 'taxes' is the answer you want to go with?

Comment Re: As someone that likes eating out (Score 1) 57

That's why I like hanging out at Starbucks. Alone. In my car. Waiting in a long line of for a cup of coffee.

I'm amazed at how often I'll go to a coffee or fast food place and see a line of ten or more cars waiting in the drive thru line. I walk in and place my order and am eating or out the door in five minutes because nobody is inside. It's so weird.

Maybe the contrast is crap, the page lifted off the flatbed window or the moron doing the scanning set the page on it crooked.

Oh, you can read it well enough, but there is no way to search through 100+ pages to find what you want. Again, done intentionally, since clicking the 'print to PDF' button is 100x easier than scanning all those pages. And don't get me started on the dozens of obscure acronyms/codes that are sprinkled throughout the budget to make it even more opaque for the public...
