The right want a small government and to encourage entrepreneurs to take risks. The left want a strong social support system for the unfortunate.
From what I’ve read about it it seems like a good idea. The big question is how you implement it at scale without crashing the current system that works reasonably well.
Definitely left-wing since that money is taken through taxes (especially from the rich) and is given to anyone. I don’t see how that could be right wing as many here say
I’d argue it isn’t left or right, just a tool. Leftism isn’t simply redistribution of wealth, but collective ownership of industry. Capitalists can use UBI as a way to replace more comprehensive safety nets, like single payer Healthcare, and implement a flat tax across the board.
You can use UBI as a leftist, to allow everyone to gain the profits of automation and increased productivity, or you can use it as an excuse to cut safety nets. Depends on how you use it!
Probably nothing. Mexican citizens will have to rise up and it won’t be without loss. It will legit be civil war. You can’t stop people from wanting drugs.
The cartel is probably far beyond drugs and prostitution only these days. Arms trafficking, human trafficking, etc would remain largely viable methods of funding.
And the cartels are smart enough that they’d just shift pipelines and continue to be a large issue.
Depends on what you’re talking about. If you consider all the injuries we’ve ever picked up in life, we’d all be dead. If you’re just talking about the injuries I have now not healing, then I’m fit as a fiddle.
