There has been a long period of dumbing-down, as life speeds up with technology taking center stage, schools crumbling and failing, and hard-learned lessons of history, civility and international understanding being forgotten. To write this off as "tribalism" minimizes and deflects. A significant part of the country is settling for a very low standard of thought and behavior, and that's not a tribal characteristic."

Man this commenter has the gift of synthesis I wish I had

That comment is spot on.

The article is biased garbage that talks about tribalism and reconciliation while blaming only one political party.

A bill to put speed cameras in active construction zones on the state's highways, as well as the turnpike, was approved by the Pennsylvania Senate on Oct. 2, and is now on its way to Gov. Wolf, the Reading Eagle reported. The bill was approved by the House the week of Sept. 24. According to local law makers, it is meant to help make work zones safer by cutting down on speeding.

Once the rest of the industry follows - and it will - I don't see how we make up such a large portion of the American economy. I don't say we need UBI because of "handouts" and "socialism," but of genuine concern that the US (and world) economy won't be able to make up the jobs elsewhere.

A flock of drunk birds just looking for a good time out on the town is disrupting the peace of Gilbert, Minnesota. In Gilbert, an early frost has fermented local berries, leading to young birds getting drunk from eating them. This, in turn, has led to unorthodox behavior from these winged residents: flying lower than usual, crashing into cars and windows, and losing their balance...

Hey Treep

I'm not completely opposed to a government provided basic income.. in fact I think it already exists for those who need it (see Sec 8 housing, welfare, WIC, etc)

But let's say we do enact UBI:

How much should it be? The same in New York as it is in Oklahoma? The same for a couple with 5 kids as a couple with 2?

And what welfare programs should we drop in favor of it? In other words, once Johnny has his UBI, what assistance can we safely stop offering him?

And I'll even come out and say it in advance... this is a total trap. Klam might advise you to tiptoe on past it

I can't wait for the day when I can put a self check-in and payment kiosk on #1 tee.

Of course the golf demographic is similar to Delaware football nation and not exactly what you'd describe as "early adopters."

The simple solution to New York vs. Oklahoma is to move all the UBI New Yorkers TO Oklahoma. They'll fit right in for the most part after they each get over the accent thing. Think of it as a progressive Trail of Tears.

How can you tell people where they can and cannot live, klam? Are you some kind of Leninist? Arent we a free people? Free to live where we wish?

You can't but you can set a flat UBI that works in Oklahoma. If someone wants to stay in New York then they have to make up the difference.

Ladies and Gents, Google, the company that wields the power to control what news and commentary people will see, wants to play Ministry of Truth and decide what fake news is. And as difficult as it is to boycott them they are insulated from consequences.
