Reply to comment by FinalJuggernaut_ in I asked chatgpt to write a UN resolution in favor of universal basic income, and this is what it returned. by AnneBancroftsGhost

Central Bank just prints it into existence. See COVID response. CBDC wallets will help here, too. Just add the UBI number. Also we can assign categories to the UBI dollars in CBDC wallets…must be spent by X date, can be spent only on food, can’t be spent on alcohol, can only go directly to retail vendor wallet in same geographic area, etc.

So you’re cool with government telling us how to live our lives? I’m not. Just because it’s “free money from the government, I don’t think that gives the government the right to determine what the money is used for. This reminds me of all the judgmental bullshit Fox News used to spout about “poor” people owning “expensive luxuries” like VCRs and refrigerators. In my mind it’s no longer a free country when the government dictates how you spend your money.

Government can dictate how to spend the money they give away for free (UBI $, welfare, health care stipend, food stipend). The money I earn will be in BTC, and remains separate.

Try multiplying, say, $1500 per month, by, say 120 000 000 Americans.

"lol"

I don't believe you. Starting every message with "lol" suggests you're trying to convince yourself you're "winning" a discussion by projecting false confidence, even though you have provided no reliable sources, offered no cogent arguments, and in general have contributed nothing of value to the argument. This is remarkably common behavior for writers who think they sound smarter by tacking on a transparently fake "lol" or laughing-while-crying emoji. It really makes you look weak-minded so it'd be to your benefit to drop it.

It'd be even better if you self-censored and waited until you had something meaningful to contribute before replying.
