Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    I don’t think there are trials outside short term, small group studies. One of the reasons I want it so badly!

    In my mind, you adjust taxes to offset the gain of cash from the UBi, with an intention of leaving everyone about even. This way it shouldn’t be too inflationary, if at all.

    I also question whether inflation that’s driven by handing everyone money equally would actually drive inequality, as opposed to the normal process which is for the businesses to increase prices and give the average person nothing.

      When you put it like that if you used tax it shouldn’t be inflationary. Right, I’m voting for you at the next election!:)

        Hell no, I’m glad we don’t do write-in candidates 😆 (I don’t think? 🫣 )

          No, we don’t. Those are spoiled ballots.

          (I do think we should do official vote of no confidence though and have a law that if it wins they need to recontest the seat.)
