<p>Guaranteed basic income to every citizen, whether or not they are employed to ensure their survival and that they live in a dignified, humane way, preventing poverty, illness, homelessness, reducing crime, encouraging higher education and learning vocations as well as helping society become more prosperous as a whole. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>Wow. Forget raising the minimum wage. This is much much better idea.</p>
<p>The minimum wage could actually drop if we had basic income.</p>
<p>But Americans would never go for it. Miserably slogging through 12 hour days and having businesses open 24/7 is too engrained in our culture.</p>

<p>“BUT WHERE WILL THE GOVERNMENT GET THE MONEY?” screamed Joe Schmoe, slamming a meaty fist onto the table and getting mouth-froth all over the front of his greying tank top. “You libt*rds all think money grows on TREES!! HAHA!”<br/><br/>“But where will people get the incentive to work?!” Mindy Bindy cried, flapping her hands in front of her face. She’d had a fear of the unemployed lollygagging about ever since she was a child and her mother told her to be afraid of the unemployed lollygagging about. “You think people should get paid for <em>nothing</em>? I work <em>hard</em> for my money!”</p>
<p>“But who will serve me?” grumbled Marty McMoneybags. “Who will make me feel important? Who will do my laundry and cook my food and stand in front of me wearing a plastic smile while I take out all my stress—because I <em>do </em>have a lot of stress, you know, being this rich is <em>stressful</em>—on them?” He paused and straightened out the piles of hundred dollar bills on the desk in front of him, then raised his two watery, outraged eyes up to the Heavens. “Lord, if there are no poor people, how will I know that I’m <em>rich</em>??”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I laughed. This is perfect! Well said!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The thing is, while I’m sure you could scrape up a few people who’d be willing to just float by on a guaranteed minimum income? For most people the choice to work would be a no-brainer. “Hmmm. I can get by on 33k a year, or I can take that part time job and make 48k… enough to move to a better apartment, maybe take the family on vacation. Sold.” Hell, most people would want to work simply because it gives one a sense of dignity and something to do with one’s time. (Speaking as someone who’s been unemployed, on extended sick leave, etc. in her time, the boredom and sense of isolation that comes with not having a job is almost as bad as the humiliation of having to depend on other people for one’s survival.)</p>
<p>And with this system, part-time jobs and “non-skilled” jobs would be much more readily available because nobody would need to work two or three jobs just to stay afloat!</p>
<p>Which would ALSO mean that employers and customers couldn’t shamelessly exploit employees the way they can today, because if losing a job weren’t necessarily a financial disaster, more people would be willing to walk out on jobs where they weren’t being treated with dignity.</p>
<p>And if this also applies to students (and it should) then student loans would become much less of a problem, and fewer people would flunk out of school because of having to juggle studies and work.</p>
<p>Far fewer people would be forced to stay with abusive partners, parents or roommates because they couldn’t afford to move out.</p>
<p>And the thing is, all those people who suddenly had money? They’d be spending it. They’d be getting all the stuff they can’t afford now - new clothes, books, toys, locally-produced food, car repairs - and with each purchase money would flow BACK to the government, because VAT, also income tax.</p>
<p>The unemployed and/or disabled wouldn’t need special support any more - which would also mean the government could fire however many admins who are currently engaged in humiliating - *cough* making sure those people aren’t getting money they don’t deserve. Same for medical benefits and pensions. And I’m no legal scholar, but I somehow imagine less financial desperation would lead to less petty crime, and hence less need for police and security everywhere?</p>

<p>“Modern gun” lol, were you using a musket or something? (But seriously it’d be cool if you did).</p></blockquote>

<p>Very nearly yes! Lol my previous only exposure to a firearm was firing a Civil War era replica in history class.</p></blockquote>

<p>I wanna take THAT history class!</p></blockquote>

<p>The professor was seriously freaking awesome. I wasn’t even enrolled in the class, my friend was and sometimes I would sit in. The professor took a liking to me and invited me to come along and shoot at pig heads with civil war guns. We also ate hardtack and salted bacon like the soldiers of the era would have. It was dope.</p>

<p>Practicing for when you gotta kill Pink Guy. </p></blockquote>

<p>nice groupings!</p></blockquote>

<p>Thanks! I think it’s pretty good for my first time shooting a modern gun 😄</p></blockquote>

<p>“Modern gun” lol, were you using a musket or something? (But seriously it’d be cool if you did).</p></blockquote>

<p>Very nearly yes! Lol my previous only exposure to a firearm was firing a Civil War era replica in history class.</p></blockquote>

<p>I wanna take THAT history class!</p></blockquote>

<p>The professor was seriously freaking awesome. I wasn’t even enrolled in the class, my friend was and sometimes I would sit in. The professor took a liking to me and invited me to come along and shoot at pig heads with civil war guns. We also ate hardtack and salted bacon like the soldiers of the era would have. It was dope.</p>

 Here's the evidence
 6,915 American troops have died fighting the Global War on Terror since 2001
 7,182 School aged children have been slaughtered in America since 2012
 Mathematics suggests that American campuses and communities are the true
 battlegrounds
 commentary: At this rate there will soon be no students left to teach math to!*
 How long must we offer up OUR CHILDREN as collateral damage to the political
 mediocrity in OUR CONGRESS?

<p>Surprise, less than 1% of the population that is armed and wearing body armor with aerial fire support and medical teams on standby tend to have a low casualty rate compared to defenseless schools that actively disarm law abiding citizens. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>Not to mention that A) OP didn’t cite any sources. Just put forth numbers and said, “Here’s your proof!” and B) the numbers are literal and complete bullshit. Since 2000, not 2012, around 250 students and teachers have died as a result of violence on school grounds.</p>
<p>OP’s numbers, if they weren’t completely pulled from their ass, may include all violence involving students regardless of location at the time, natural causes of death including of staff (heart attacks, etc), and suicides of students or staff regardless of location.</p>
<p>Tl;dr OP is full of shit and can’t cite nonexistent sources.</p>

    Definitely, Future, and Goals: WILLIONAIRE MENTOR
 IALWAYS WIN. NOT IMMEDIATELY
 BUT DEFINITELY.
So you want the winners mentality? Read on!👇 ✔️Play to learn. How do you maintain a winning mindset when you lose? Champions have the mindset that if they lose, it is still a win because they learned something valuable. This allows them to interpret a seemingly discouraging experience as one that fuels determination. Look at times in your life where you have failed. Would you take that experience back in exchange for the lessons you learned? Likely, the future success you have had can be partially attributed to the wisdom you gained from your previous setback. You win every time when you play to learn! ✔️Risk = opportunity. An integral part of a winning mindset is seeing opportunity and risk as partners. In other words, you can’t have one without the other. I always wondered how some people found the courage to take risks continually. It’s because they understand that being risk-averse also means being opportunity-averse. Once I understood that, it became must easier to try something new and step out of my comfort zone. Here is why: I realized that risk can produce butterflies, but passing up a great opportunity will make you sick! It is all about how you interpret risk and opportunity. Can you guys relate to this one? ✔️Winning happens during practice. The will to win begins with preparing to win. “Practice like you compete, so you can compete like you practice.” ✔️They quit. People with a winning mindset make a habit of quitting! Now, I realize this seems a bit counterintuitive from what we believe about success. However, winners quit any attitude or action that is not moving them closer to their goals. They say, “DO” to whatever is contributing to their success and “NO” to whatever is delaying their success. 😉 - Leave a comment below and let me know what you think!👇 - success winner millionairementor

 HARRIET TUBMAN ESCAPED FROM SLAVERY AND THEN WENT BACK TO
 GET OTHERS. LIKE, I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO HARRIET TUBMAN IS AND
 THAT SHE DID THAT, BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THAT IN FOR A
 SECOND
 HARRIET TUBMAN WAS HELD CAPTIVE AND BOUND TO UNPAID, BACK-
 BREAKING LABOR SINCE BIRTH UNDER PENALTY OF TORTURE OR
 DEATH. SHE MANAGED TO ESCAPE THAT LIFE, AND SHE TURNED THE
 FUCK AROUND AND WENT THE FUCK BACK TO GET EVERYONE ELSE
 WHO WAS STILL TRAPPED IN IT. AND THEN SHE DID IT AGAIN EIGHTEEN
 MORE TIMES
 WHEN ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS UNSURE WHETHER OR NOT HE WAS
 PREPARED TO MAKE A STAND AGAINST SLAVERY, HARRIET TUBMAN
 BASICALLY SAID HE SHOULD STOP BEING SUCH A DIAPER BABY AND
 THAT GUYS WHO ARE TOO SCARED TO END SLAVERY DONT DESERVE
 TO WIN WARS
 NOT ONLY DID SHE SECRET OVER 300 SLAVES TO FREEDOM ON THE
 UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, BUT SHE ACTED AS A SPY FOR THE UNION
 ARMY DURING THE CIVIL WAR, AND BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN TO
 LEAD AN ARMED ASSAULT IN THE CIVIL WAR. THAT RAID BROUGHT
 FREEDOM TO OVER 700 SLAVES IN ONE GO
 SO I JUST WANT YOU TO STEW ON THAT FOR LIKE A MINUTE ACTING IN
 THE SHADOWS, SHE WALKED INTO HELL ON EARTH 19 TIMES TO SAVE
 HER FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS FROM THE TORMENT SHE ENDURED, AND
 THE SECOND SHE WAS GIVEN EVEN A MODICUM OF POWER, SHE
 MANAGED TO FREE SEVEN HUNDRED SLAVES IN ONE DAY
 I GUARANTEE HOWEVER IMPRESSED YOU ALREADY ARE WITH HARRIET
 TUBMAN, YOU ARE FALLING LIKE AT LEAST 40% SHORT OF HOW
 IMPRESSED YOU SHOULD BE WITH HARRIET TUBMAN. SHE IS ONE OF
