Universal Basic Income In The US | TikTok Rants Inflation,Economy

This is a super important topic. I love your channel and how much I have learned from it by the diverse real experiences of people. I don’t have social media like til you etc, and it is great get the perspectives on topics you provide. They are real people and I enjoy your views and compiling the quality and variety you do for your videos. And that the are always focused on important topics. Thanks!

OMG 😱!!! Thank you soo much 🥰🎉❤️❤️this is a massive blessing I really appreciate you

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

And with a universal basic income, you do realize that we're all gonna have to pay for that right? Why can't they cut our taxes and let us save our own money?

Great 👍 idea💡.

@@twobitsandpepper8235 Happiness is innate. God 1st, always. I never cared what people think about me. A retired Boomer here. Single woman. Child free. Debt free. No regrets. Not broke. Not struggling. Never lonely. Yes, cut our taxes. However, many unwise individuals are proving they lack the discipline necessary to save money 💵. Continuously living above their means: keeping up with the Jones’, house 🏡 poor, car 🚘 poor, paycheck to paycheck. Drowning in debt=Consumerism and Materialism. Consumer marketing ploys won’t work on me. I don’t need their crap: no make up, cosmetics, purses, etc. Thank God I have never been materialistic and always a saver. Living frugally and being a minimalist, I happily retired at 60 free of debt 💸. I’m enjoying a well earned comfortable retirement. God is providing. So no worries or fears here. Freedom and Peace of mind. This is true wealth.

[@lilboybluenotes7042]

Unpopular opinion- UBI isn’t the answer because it’s attacking the problem backwards. What use is an extra 2000 when companies then raise the prices of EVERYTHING because everyone has money? The issue is the wealth accumulation at the top by raising prices month over month much more than wages increase. Inflation being normalized is the actual issue and why no one can afford what we need to afford.

Poverty and its consequences cost more than a UBI of a few thousand dollars a year

[@jasmines.6325]

A few thousand times how many people?? Do the math irs a LOT

[@rebeccabaca5272]

Listening to these people talk about UBI is cringe. They don't know what that would do to the economy. The US does not have money. We have been operating on a deficit, so what people want is to print more money to give out, aka more stimulus. This will cause hyperinflation. So no matter how much the government prints to give out, prices it will always go higher for goods and services. That's basic economics.

[@tommysalami420]

Then why care about the economy? I'll just stop working if your ideal society is just to abuse people and maximize suffering. If we were building a better future for people I'd be motivated to help.

How about the companies/employers be required to pay their employees a base pay of whatever the median price of 1-bdr apartments for the local area? Meaning the pay STARTS at median COL. Take UBI out of the governments hands and make the companies actually pay their employees. Maybe im just fever dreaming.

[@Nikitas3961]

We will get a UBI, but it will be with MANY strings attached. Things are so difficult, people will go for it regardless.

[@walterbeck433]

You will be taxed on everything including the air you breathe period sound crazy look at the carbon tax they're presenting. Also you will be taxed on everything you say and it comes right out automatically. Everything you do will have a price if you do not agree with their narrative. Also they can put an expiration date you have to spend it by a certain date or you just lose it. People don't think about the consequences of this

[@khanumna1183]

Everybody got their hand out not thinking about the bigger picture, we for sure need more critical thinkers here, I’m all for all people having what they need and some of what they want and being comfortable and healthy with a good quality of life however that is not the world we live in and we wouldn’t be having this conversation if we had honorable and properly functioning governments and real money that’s not printed out of thin air.

[@karmaandkerosene_music]

If you give everyone $24,000 a year you'll make the cost of a loaf of bread $10.00. The more money you put into the system it lowers the value of all the other dollars already in circulation. This is why inflation is so bad now - all those stimi checks you got and all that government money printing caused it.

[@walterbeck433]

And also for socialized Healthcare, that means the government decides if you get health care or not if you are deserving of such. It doesn't mean you get to decide if you're failing or not. It would be up to the the socialized medicine rules

[@happylistener4628]

Stop with your disinformation. You fool.😮

[@CuteAnimeGirl]

We already have socialized healthcare in the US, for people in poverty and elderly. I get medicaid and don't pay anything for healthcare. My parents get medicare since they get social security.

[@CuteAnimeGirl]

We already have something like UBI, if you are over 65 and never worked you get SSI. If you have work history but not much of it the SSI makes up the difference. My aunt never worked in her life and gets SSI mixed with regular social security.

[@ripeforthepickingbyedm]

It's giving the government more power than they already have. Give the (sheepeople) "free" money 😅 then you become reliant on this so-called "free" money, and then more and more rules like you have to take the 2020 new new aka jab to keep said free money coming on a monthly basis.😮

[@dyscalculic]

At least right now, if they implemented a UBI at $500 or $1000 a month, it would still feel like adding a dribble of spit into a lake. Wouldn't move the needle for me until other things become more reasonable, like rent. I wouldn't turn $500-1000/mo down, I could do something with it and I know it can be a live-saver for many. But it honestly feels like a band-aid on a broken bone.

[@richardharrold8658]

Mofos are already extremely lazy

[@tempusername-l5d]

Instead of giving universal basic income, which will be taxed, the government should reduce taxes so that people take home more raw money over a period of time. Also, I am calling bs on the guy who claimed that studies showed that people with UBI reduced their vices and became more responsible. This is because we live during a time where the housing market, job market, and inflation are simultaneously undergoing crises.... yet the entertainment industry (video games, subscriptions to stuff like netflix, movies, concerts, etc.) are doing extremely well. In other words, if people are spending money on frivolous things during an economic crisis, then they will surely spend as much if not more with UBI. But then again, the whole point of UBI is to train people to continue to spend money to keep the economy going, since people are more likely to spend on things using bulk money like tax refunds, whereas people are more likely to be frugal if they take more money home each paycheck. It should also be highlighted that housing/rent prices will just increase to accommodate for UBI.

[@babetheebuilder5823]

If at ease, out of survival mode, and secure means lazy then sign me up. 🤷🏾‍♀️ The aspiration and drive to become “successfully wealthy” comes from the working class human desire to live a life of ease. No stress, no worst case scenario (unless of course it’s things you quite literally can’t control) just the ability to actually live life rather than barely surviving.

Agreed, if our politicians and corporations weren’t bought and bribed out and actually followed the constitution and just laws and we wouldn’t need UBI in the first place.

The woman in the pink top isn't making sense. America is a big country so they are basing the average salary on the whole country and unsurprisingly, some people make less and some people make a lot more. It depends on many factors including qualifications, job opportunities in your area etc. Just because you don't know anyone personally who's earning an average salary, doesn't mean it's not true. She could easily google what salaries people earn for specific jobs.

In response to the 2nd video where she is asking where people are earning $45,000 per year. I have an answer. I make $45,000 a year. I work in a Home Depot Distribution Warehouse. My Pay if I only worked 40 hours every week would be just under 45K, but with some OT that I have already worked this year, and doing the math, I will end up breaking the 45K mark by the end of this year with my last pay check. I might be closer to 46K. This is in Maryland, and I am on my 3rd year working there. Non Management. Supervisors (1st level manager) there earn 60K+ with bonuses included. 45K is what 30K was just 8 or 9 years ago to be honest though. Housing costs are way up. Insurance way up. I only "make it" and feel okay right now because I also have a DJ business I work in addition to my full time job so I earn more than just the 45K to 46K a year.
