      I can tell you just grabbed the first result of a Google search “why basic income works” because you linked an article with a pay wall that doesn’t actually allow you to read it, leading me to believe you didn’t read it either. So thanks.

      However, just the title and first paragraph I was able to skim highlight the point I’m making: it doesn’t matter if a system works if not enough people are willing to adopt it. Which is what the concept of the overton window is built on.

          I’m not going to unfuck your source because you’re too lazy to check it. The skill issue is yours, my friend

          Despite the minimal effort I put in, I still managed a rebuttal. Where’s yours? Oh right, you aren’t interested in actually understanding the problem. You just Google a response without checking it and let other people affirm your flawed views.

                  Actually, before I leave you to congratulate yourself on not actually saying anything, I just want to point out how funny it is that you mic dropped an article that makes the same point I did by mistake because you didn’t read it. And now you’re trying to flex on me because you still haven’t read it.

                  I’m just happy I could be part of this exchange. It’s not often that someone I argue with proves themselves wrong with the very first and only point they make, and then doubles down so hard that they’re just sending emojis.

                  Thanks for that. Later
