Some people still have some sense.
Projections from a referendum in Switzerland suggest voters have rejected a plan to introduce a guaranteed basic income for all.
Some 78% of voters opposed the plan, a GFS projection for Swiss TV suggested.
The proposal had called for adults to be paid an unconditional monthly income, whether they worked or not.
Supporters said since work was increasingly automated, fewer jobs were available for workers. Switzerland is the first country to hold such a vote.
Can’t wait to see how Mark Maley responds to this “magical thinking” on economics.
I bet it is a full embrace of the economic “magic” thinking here.
I’m not convinced this is a bad idea so long as it replaced other entitlement programs. See Charles Murray’s piece in WSJ
Ryan,
Aside from inflationary problems with such an idea….don’t you see this as a nuclear bomb toward motivation to work and achieve?
Kev, it appears I wounded you with the magical thinking remark . I apologize for the indigestion it caused if not for the accuracy of the comment
My brother lives in Zurich . The Native born Swiss already voted to close the doors to any
New comers so the idea that the native born would support a full living allowance to the non Swiss was probably a non starter from its inception
Mark,
The only indigestion I had was the idea implied in your comment: that somehow you do not believe in biggest magic of all….a universe created from nothing without God.
As long as we understand that you support the most magic religion of them all, and should have no place in a true religious free public school….
kev:
That “most magic religion” is strictly your construct. Mark didn’t make that claim, you did. Typical, since you can’t defend the factualness of your religion, you ridicule the beliefs of others.
Better that than a fat child molestor like you, baldy.
And another cowardly imposter rears its ugly head.
OB ,
You are my hero
The real Mark Maley
Mark:
Thanks. But I am no hero, just a regular guy. Reserve the hero designation for folks that stand up to bullies and willfully ignorant politicians.
OB
Mark,
The fact that Baldy passionately evangelizes his bleak Nihilist world view that makes him “heroic”?
Or is it the simple fact he hates Christian points of view that makes him “heroic”?
If guess we need a lesson on real heroics.
kev:
You have used the word “nihilist” or various forms 237 times in the last week. You really should try to expand your vocabulary.
PS: Everything you said is nonsense.
