A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have absolutely no idea what that means.
But to answer the actual question, I don't disagree that universal basic income would be great I just don't think that the above arguement is a particularly great one for it. There are many better arguments that could be made and I don't appreciate the false dichotomy that OP is putting out that because it just makes the whole idea seem hippie and stupid.
Also been aggressive with people who even marginally disagree with your opinion isn't productive.
I asked you a question out of curiosity. There was nothing aggressive in my comment. You're being overly defensive.
