The hungry would still be hungry and the drug dealers would be much richer.If everyone is guaranteed the same income whether they work or not and whether they are a brain surgeon or a trash collector, why would anyone work?
I don't think it could replace an income unless you work at Walmart stocking shelves. But I always found it an interesting concept if we removed all social programs and replaced it with UI. It would solve so many problems in this country, and this coming from a conservative.
We got school feeding programs because the parents were trading WIC and EBT for cash to buy drugs.
Amazing the handwriting I see around the country about feeding kids as schools shut down. WIC, Food Stamps, Section 8, free school lunches, welfare...still not enough apparently.
