What are your thoughts on a basic income?

In the last three decades billions of tax dollars have been pumped into contracts AFTER it was known that the projects being funded were never going to be viable.
It's got far more to do with personal relationships within Congress than actual validity of project.

If your a Junior Senator sitting on a defence cuts panel and the most bloated and useless spending is in the area of a very powerful and influential member....
You're not going to make an enemy by doing what is economically sensible.

USA spent billons to design a zero gravity pen that would work in space.
USSR sent up cosmonauts with PENCILS.
America's extreme wealth has created a culture of 'appropriations sophistry'.

It's a form of welfare
But much of the funding ends up in the pockets of America's wealthiest citizens.
the Fischer company developed their "Space Pen" THEMSELEVES!

nasa didnt give em a dime save through purchasing their product for use in zero g.

space pens were developed for engineers, mechanics, and other cats who often need to write shit when upside down, or in conditions where a pencil just doesnt work.

huntin abalone, and need to fill out your tag as soon as you get out of the water with your catch?

fischer space pens write when wet, write on the waxed card, are indelible, and dont just scratch the card like a pencil does.

workin on a diesel engine, with oil, hydraulic fluid and shit everywhere, and need to make a note on a piece of tape to mark a bolt and it's location? space pens write through oil. pencils dont.

you are repeating a false talking point.

no govt funding went into0 developing that remarkable product.

When you call yourself a "che-ist" and in the next statement express pro-American views

When you say you're a leftist but support Malthusian views

When you denounce anarchism but sport an Orwell quote in your signature

When you take something I say out of context and agree

You're displaying your fascism clearly.
I hope this is clear now.

For the rest, you supplied those historic agglomerations, not me. Maybe I want you to think this and that, around and around. Maybe we can call it Dark Mind Influence.

Maybe I simply don't care it I seem to agree or not. I actually thought we were having fun, for a moment. :)

Don't take it so personal, OK. You are one of the few I don't disagree with completely.

Support, reject, denounce. Rhetoric designed to support the emotion of scorn is all.

So, I have to be understandable to you all the time? You don't pass that test with me, Stoner. :)

You are just seeing now, how far the Far Left is.

Mathus has a conjecture. I can state it with total neutrality. I am an America Che-ist, in Struggle Heaven.

Now you are making me repeat myself.

this is a strange exchange.

a leninist calling himself a che-ist arguing with a trotskyite who calls himself a libertarian...
