Had a conversation with a co-worker today about the rumor of Oregon giving all the homeless $1,000 a month as UBI.

I asked him how they’re planning to pay for it and he didn’t know but told me that everyone should be getting UBI.

I asked where the money would come from and he told me that “the government can just make more money”.

When I said that would fuck up our economy and pointed out the old stories of Russians using wheel barrows of worthless money to buy food I was told “it doesn’t matter if an Apple costs $1 or $100 as long as people are getting paid enough to buy the Apple”
