My "lifestyle" affords me one meal a day plus housing. I don't think my demographic is being unreasonable

Ah, but you still can afford a meal. I’m saying if we average the whole planet out, my bet is most people would fall into a tax bracket that would nullify the basic income. Your case in particular, idk.

So your premise is that all those people alive today, surviving under unequal distribution of resources, will on average have less than they need if we equalize distribution?

With 95%+ of wealth currently sequestered by less than 1% of people?

Your math is wrong.

once again: pretending to laugh is a big mistake here, especially when the rest of your comment fails to provide anything meaningful to the discussion--and in this case, doesn't even make sense as the burn that you seem to think you're delivering

I'm not pretending - I'm laughing.

But the question is serious, because if they can not math, they could not possibly understand why they are wrong.
