Universal basic income could come to California colleges

I get a paywall, but my main question is why? We don’t need as many college educated students as we are producing today. There’s no need to incentivize it further. So is this just vote bank politics at work?

Failed or grotesque implementations of ubi would be useful for people who don't want it. California is also bonkers with bureacracy.

Nobody in charge has the slightest clue what they're doing, everyone just has checklist items to tick off, then money gets shuffled from point a to point b and they claim success.

UBI works as a concept only if it's universal. If it's shuffling money from taxpayers to non-taxpayers, it's something entirely different.

Perhaps if we had more a more educated populace, people would stop electing clowns who lie to them.

On both sides, its clowns all around

Sure dude. Make sure you children's never get educated, that would solve all the problem. We need lesser education.

We need more stem education, but not as much arts or political science

Considering that music, shows, movies, images, paintings and other cultural representations exist, then I fail to see how 'the arts have been a complete abortion'.

"Contributes nothing to civilization" - yet we fetishize Roman, Greek, and 'typical "good" artwork'.
