I don't know about the rest of the world but my country is in a recession. There are no jobs and no houses. Rent is huge.

The number of people who can buy expensive toys is going down. People want good value for money, and good value for money is winning the market.

You mean at once? Heroin and cocaine. Over a lifetime? Good health, useful work, kind deeds, meaningful relationships, safety, self-determination, knowledge, and fun.

Even knowing the lazy gamers you believe in would use it to play video games all day if they existed? Big if true.

It's really hard to actually accept that as a capitalist's opinion. Liberals tend to say all kinds of nice things, and then turn around and pass policies that completely contradict that. Like, y'all say I deserve to live and then you don't implement a UBI. It's like you're lying to yourselves that you're actually nice people.

No, those are imaginary people you made up to complain about. And if you act on the existence of those fake people, you'll harm actual people.

I will play along with your experiment if you give me control of the government. That seems only fair, since we're talking about the government providing for everyone.

Is there a point of disability at which you no longer believe someone should be cared for? Like, say someone is colourblind and has no other conditions, do you think that person needs to earn their life?

Yes we would. And if we can't, the cheap food should be free.

There's nobody like that. You're talking about imaginary people. All human beings have a natural drive to do useful work.

What you don't have the right to is someone else to provide for you if you don't give anything back

Yes you do. Lots of people are on disability benefits, unemployment, a pension, or are literal children. And those programs should be expanded to cover everyone who doesn't work, not just those who can justify their existence to a government form.
