You still can't understand 2 people living together with 2 incomes? Like a man and woman, a couple even, married or unmarried. Like that's unusual? Your understanding of things and concepts outside of your impenetrable 6 World is so tiny. Talk about a failed education! Although, in your case it probably wasn't the school's fault.

I won't even begin to list the endless quotes about how we wouldn't even need money if it weren't for women. More than half of those quotes are attributed to women themselves. Women are the single demographic that drives the modern economy.

Disregarding that, find me a woman who's going to live with you and pool their $1,000 while you both sit around all day doing nothing and either not drive you insane or badger you to get a job.

The idea that everybody would just sit around and do nothing if they had $1,000 a month is just as ridiculous as anything else you've ever said in here.

Do I read this right?
Is 6ix now arguing that $1,000 is too much Tax-free money if 2 people cohabitate, there would be too much free time if nobody worked while being given too much money?
That seems like an absolute flip from a few posts previous.

Or is he just saying that people would go find some kind of work for the fun of it, because they would get bored not working?

At first, the Inflation spike would happen fast, devaluing SS stipends, then the $1,000 per month would be valueless. Leaving us where we started, but with devaluatiing Inflation in place. But then we we couldn't be able to reverse the process, and the damage would be done, and the UBI fiasco would be ignored, forgotten, in the past, and the UBIers would be peddling their next Spendaholic Magic Bullet idiocy.

Plus, I've heard that modern women want to have their own jobs. So the women would not sit at home harping on, they would go and work for the fun of it.

No. I'm not. CC is making that argument.

I'm arguing that in his hypothetical fantasy land world where this is possible, there is no woman who's going to stand for a man who sits around playing video games and binge watching Netflix, let alone many women who wouldn't be bored out of their mind doing the same themselves.

Throw a kid or two in the mix, assuming there is sex involved and we're not delving further into fantasy land with strictly platonic roommates, and this becomes even more impossible. (Remember, there are no welfare benefits for children, no EIC, and no food stamps in this scenario).

Nobody could afford to sit around all day and not work with $1,000 per month without being completely miserable. Whether single or married.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

IDK. I understood the part about not wanting a roommate, but that whole part about women driving the economy and so on ... not a clue.

Would the adequate paraphrase be Men earn the money, women spend all the money?

It's attitudes like that that make women want to go their own way. Hubby and I contributed equally to the finances, so stuff it.

No, I get mad at people for not trying at all. Like you don't even try to not blah blah about military and war at every in-opportunity. Why don't you start a thread about it....OH, THAT'S RIGHT....NO ONE GIVES A DAMN.

WELL THEN, YOU'RE STUPID.

You don't give a damn?

How about $1 trillion a year? Isn't THAT worth giving a damn about?

I don't blame you - we rarely agree on anything. But I was being completely serious. You pointed out a couple of righteous points - "we all get it and we all know we all get it." I know my fellow human pretty well - that's a recipe for inflation just like you said.

Jack was making the argument that no one could live on $1000 other than him. Already we have 3 people posting here who have and could again. Do the math, professor.
And who the hell says all you do is sit around and watch tv all day? You have very little imagination. That's you hoping/wishing/making sh*t up to validate one of your erroneous "all feelz" opinions.

I have no doubt that you did and do. I was not talking about you, and you should not be affronted when not directed your way.
I was attempting to paraphrase the attitude which 6ix seemed to be emulating, which rue had indicated bafflement about.
