    A random article on the internet is not evidence. I can write articles too, you know? I can also derive all the conclusions I want from the same data. Grow up.

      It’s the Washington Post, not “a random article.” Again, feel free to provide evidence.

        WP is garbage, just like 99% of mainstream media. It’s not my job to provide evidence on a negative. It’s more important that people like you learn basic economics to understand the meaning of money before they spew nonsense based on ignorance.

        I’m willing to bet that you don’t know what fiscal policy is, monetary policy, fed balance sheet, trade deficit, and all these 101 modern economics terms. Yet you think you’re entitled to opening your mouth with your dumb, uneducated opinions just because you’re too lazy to learn a skill that’ll make you truly useful to society instead of serving coffee in Starbucks. Yeah… no one cares what you think in that regard except those who want to enslave you. The irony is that once you learn and read, you’ll become useful and make money, and then you won’t need UBI and at the same time understand why UBI doesn’t work. Only failures advocate for it.

          Of course it’s your job. You made the claim. That’s how the burden of proof works. Would you like me to quote what you said?

            You mean more proof than all the inflation that happened just because of the 2020 stimulus?

            This is the problem. People like you understand nothing in economics. Nothing! Literally! You have zero information on what happened in the last years, I mentioned inflation and YOU STILL think I didn’t provide proof, because proof to you is a dumb article written by a dumb journalist that doesn’t understand even basic stats. Yet you think you’re qualified to have this discussion.

            You remind me of the religious people who used to ask me since I’m atheist, “how did the universe come to exist if it’s not God?”, yet they know nothing in special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory or any related field… yet somehow they think they’re qualified to have that discussion based on their dumb book because it gave them dumb answers, just like your dumb answer from your dumb WP article from a dumb journalist to dumb, poor, lazy audience that’s too good to read a book. Yeah, right. Go read a book. Once you do, you’ll get your “proof” from today’s economy, Mr. “Copy/paste link with title I like is proof”.

              The stimulus wasn’t UBI. Continually insulting me is not evidence. It will make me block you if you do it one more time.

                Yes, you’re right. Stimulus is not UBI, but it’s free money. If you’re too dumb to understand the connection, then I rest my case. You’ve proven every “insult” I threw at you, yet I maintain they’re not insults. They’re sad truths. I miss the good old days when only qualified people had a public opinion.
