Speak for yourself, I don't even like Doritos. Do you really think the hedge fund managers and dotcom billionaires are going to join the rabble on the public dole? Maybe they should 'means test' the Basic Income program to make sure no billionaires try to drop out on it. <smh> Of all the ways to try and show BI fails the one where "everybody will quit their six figure corporate job and take $1200K/mo and live in a trailer without hot and cold running water" is the total reductio ad absurdum. Try again. No... don't. Really. Don't bother. You don't get it. It's ok. One way or another, it will happen. When it is too late, but that is alright. None of use expects perfection.
