Some say people have nothing to do is the devils workshop where there needs to be more thought on the easy come easy go UI is being given when there are jobs out there. In order for economic recovery a business needs to have workers to operate. In the Us there is shortage of used vehicles as demand is outstripping supply. The free for all rent program has severe economic consequences as this delaying repairs and renovations along with energy saving improvement essential to be part of reducing green house gases. Many of the demonstrations are a result of people having nothing to do which is going get more common as weather improves. The first part of economic recovery is having people show up for work when there are jobs available along making sure every business has the economic means to provide jobs where it is known the world over that rental housing providers are a large part of a economy where goods and services are bought locally not the third world. One can not continue to operate in the borrow, spend and tax forever. In the Us media these people want to called progressive when the opposite is reality. All levels of government should not be funding groups who are off the radio dial. Some of demonstrations that vilified rental housing providers where a few tenants were present where the main demonstrators where the left wing extremists. Suppose governments cut off funding then those nutcases would have to go out then get a real job. If they represent tenants then get funding from tenants not the taxpayer. It is important to find which level of government if funding those fringe groups. --99.236.xxx.xxx

S i d[MO]UI is the dream of many a slacker. Sit on your butt and do nothing, and money shows up because...."I exist, therefore I get $$$." Of course there already is a UI. It's $0. All prices are based off the assumption that people have a certain income level, and $0 is at the bottom of that scale.

Once everyone is assumed to have a minimum of $1000 (or whatever), prices will rise to compensate. The day I know every tenant has an extra grand in their pocket, my rents are going to rise considerably, as will every other LL in town with a brain, as will every other merchant or service provider. A few won't catch up for awhile, but they're the same ones renting houses for $300 now when they should go for $700 or higher. No skin off anyone's teeth but theirs.

I don't know where these economists who support UI get their data or how they tweak their analysis, but it simply doesn't work without price controls. Once you get those, we're basically a communist nation where Govt determines who gets what and for how much: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need." Might as well do away with prices. That has worked out so poorly throughout history, I'm not sure why people keep insisting on trying it again and again.

USSR, China, N Korea, etc. Gulags, ethnic cleansings, "glorious leaps forward" 10s of millions dead/murdered at the hands of the state or starvation. People don't read history. A child has to touch a hot stove every now and then because he refuses to listen to his parents. Just so with the body politic every 50-80 years, it seems.
