I'm gonna have to be that guy. $500 a month for a family of four is $2k, which is a very good chunk of money to drop in your lap.

That works out the same as it they were on a single income, working 40 hour weeks at $10/hr, so almost equivalent to a full time job. No doubt that's gonna be a big deal and noticeable financial improvement to the recipient(s).

As always with UBI schemes, the devil is in how you pay for it. If it's truly universal, paying $500/month to ~330 million Americans would cost $1.98 Trillion dollars, meanwhile the current entire US gov budget for 2022 is estimated at $1.2 Trillion.

So, to implement $500/month universally in America would require not only increasing overall tax revenues by almost 50% it would also require the cancellation of 100% of every single other expenditure. That not includes military spending going to zero, but even cancelling the jobs of everyone that collects taxes and would presumably have been responsible for distributing the $500 checks.

If the 'fix' is to just tax the pants off anyone earning more than the $500/month, or limiting who we give it to, then it ceases to be a UBI scheme, and is instead just a mundane modification of the existing social security scheme by shuffling more money back and forth between different folks.

Damnit, I was sure he was walking around with no pants on.

... except for all the times we saw him wearing pants. My confirmation bias just blanked them out.

Crabs and pants go together.

Works if you sit down too.
Who puts their pants on one leg at a time anyway? It’s 2021, get with it!

Love to see it.

Great standing on the precipice of the automotive world changing for the better. Everyone is going electric FINALLY, thanks largely to Elon for giving everyone a long overdue kick in the pants.

translation: i just crapped my pants

I don't know whether to by amused or terrified, so instead, I think I'll just giggle and shit my pants.

Trump would have just farted. And then shit his pants. And then blamed it on Obama.

Why won't you get it? Come on, man...please, just get it.

It's not because of the skinny pants, you eat fish dicks because you're a gay fish.

Let's not forget...

(d)The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

So all you idiots wearing flag shirts, pants, socks, hats, scarves, and underwear are disrespecting the flag and what it stands for, not being patriotic.

(g)The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

So the Blue lives matter flag with it's blue line is a total fuck you to the flag and all it represents, a sign of pure disrespect to the whole country, not a sign of patriotism.

Claiming ignorance is just more disrespect, it's a 10 second job to find and read the official flag code.
