universal basic income has to be the single most dogshit idea in modern history

and completely and utterly and entirely uninformed by basic economics or the history of economics or even similar ideas such as UBI

and anyone who pushed UBI right now and says UBI will solve our economic troubles today and be able to help us address spiking inflation is out of their mind.

The Strauss-Howe generational theory, do you agree with it or not? Are we in the "4th turning"?

Long story short, the Stauss-Howe generational theory is that all generations go through similar societal issues about every 80 years, history repeating itself.
There are "turnings" that are about 20 years long and what many call generations, with turnings repeating itself like seasons.
The "4th turning" represents Crisis and is where society is heading according to this theory. A lot of what i...

Vigilantism: Excusing Bad Behavior

Has anyone else noticed the fascination within American cinema of making the vigilante a heroic figure?

I believe that the portrayal of vigilantism as a positive feature of justice is a misunderstanding of how we ought to portray justice. By portraying figures who seek justice we portray matters of justice as vigilantes, there is an attempt to normalize the perception of justice as individualist...

Another poem.

The dreadful pangs of the long since dead,
Echo through the mountains’ hall;
Upon the earth where they once bled,

Waiting for the cock’s call.

For though they are soon forgot by man,
And their faces fade from the temporal sand,
The valley still whispers their ghostly moans

Crimes where the punishment is a fine should be based off income.

Simple things even as parking tickets can be detrimental to lower income families especially where I live in Chicago. While I think the revenue tickets bring to the city is important these punishments disproportionately affect communities based off income. Also if the punishment is a fine it is not a punishment for rich families.
