Of course if the participants aren't subject to the higher taxes that would be required to fund the UBI and are aware that it well end in 3 years they will still have an incentive to work. I guess it would be hard to get participants for the experiment who would want to pay higher taxes to make it self-funded though...
Some of those comments...
I know he must have suppliers. Cut him off at the source.
These people want to use siege tactics to destroy someone's livelihood simply because he's not taking a bad flu seriously. The ridiculous measures to which these people will go over such a tiny issue is terrifying to me.
Imagine an obese BIPOC LBTQ++ boot stamping on your face, forever.
I mean, I fucking hate that there are people who will use this to bang on the systemic racism and oppression drum, but it is kind of interesting that the mortality rate is so much higher. There's a big write-up at the top of /r/nootropics about how vitamin D helps to improve covid outcomes, the fact that outcomes are worse in black people makes me wonder if it's due to them being more likely to be vitamin D deficient.
Of course, neither the article you posted nor the sub-article bothers to even mention vitamin D, preferring to bang the drum about "increasing inequities".
Weren't leftists calling for the police to be defunded a few months ago? Surely they will oppose this overreach into the private lives and choices of their citizens... *crickets*
Decided to poke through /r/newbrunswickcanada to see their take on the restrictions, found this gem:
Working is essential. Going on a date is not essential.
Ta-da.
Probably the best example of these robot people out there. WORK ESSENTIAL. HUMAN INTERACTION NON-ESSENTIAL. GET BACK TO WORK YOU DEFECTIVE COG.
Vancouver police:
Homeless people attacking people with hammers, stealing, threatening people - I sleep.
Somebody driving with a passenger or not wearing a mask at Costco - real shit??
I used to be a young energetic black male
Another victim of systemic racism! We need the government to pay this fine young man's rent so he and his BBM can live covid free!
It says "CLAIM:" before it, it seems like it's in the format where the text following CLAIM is meant to be some incorrect belief that they disprove with some "FACT:" blurb afterwards, similar to snopes or politifact.

A "pandemic" where you have to be constantly reminded to follow safety guidelines, wouldn't even know it existed if you weren't told, and might not even know you had it if you did. Seriously, if it was actually serious why the fuck would we have to be reminded constantly to follow safety precautions?
The Black Death killed something like 50% of the population of Europe at the time. Now THAT'S a pandemic!
Not to mention that the average age of death is like 80 years old give or take a bit depending on the country. Those deaths aren't even like adults or teens or whatever, it's the grandmas with heart disease and cancer living in a long term care home who were going to die within a year anyways.
Meanwhile car accidents, which take about 300 people per year in Alberta, make up a similar number of deaths but consist of people who had entire lives ahead of them. Probably like 30x as many years of life lost. Just for comparison.
Looks like a college to me, pretty large class size plus the typical tiered lecture halls which I haven't seen in a high school.
I think Reddit must be incredibly astroturfed by bots. As soon as you go to literally any other site, they are usually hardcore "right wing" by Reddit's standards. 4chan, Facebook, news site comment sections, random forums (eg. bb.com misc section). I think Reddit must be some attempt at propagandizing the internet to be left-wing.
Also mod teams are likely highly infiltrated so they ban a lot of dissent as well.
We've accelerated the science. Pray we don't accelerate it further.
These hoes ain't loyal
lmao just looked at the sub, just lol at this top post https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/jlx4kt/granville_street_right_now/
Redditors whining NOOOOOOO DON'T GO OUT AND HAVE FUN WITH PEOPLE ON HALLOWEEN NOOOOOOOOOO SIT INSIDE YOUR HOUSE TERRIFIED OF GETTING SICK LIKE MEEEEE
Redditors hate fun. If I were to go off of my city's subreddit I would've thought Halloween was canceled this year, and yet IRL I got about 100 trick-or-treaters, almost none wearing masks.
The arguments for immigration are full of doublethink. People say we need them to work jobs that Canadians won't do, but then also say that they don't take people's jobs.
My mom tells me about when she used to work at Tim Horton's, when they baked the donuts in-store.
Now when I go there it's entirely staffed by latinos who have trouble speaking english.
Hmm maybe if they don't like what's going on in their homeland they should go back there and help fight against it?
I guess it's decided then, being black doesn't outweigh not wearing the mask on the progressive hierarchy.
Just an example of the anti-white sentiment that pervades everything nowadays. Why do I care? Partly because I don't like people discriminating against my race, partly because I lose out on jobs and university scholarships, partly because I hate that the racism rhetoric makes it impossible to bring up the negative effects of immigration and TFW programs without being immediately ignored as a racist.
A couple weeks ago Gym Shark, a brand that used to be solely designed for fit people and marketed by youtube fitness personalities, decided to join in on the woke train by... making clothes for fat people. They put a bunch of clearly overweight people on the front page of their website. It looks like they cleaned it up now, but there's still quite a few of them on the women's section: https://ca.gymshark.com/pages/shop-women . Side note, also a ton of black people.
TV is dying because there are so many minority characters that White people don't relate to them anymore and are no longer watching. When ABC announced 17 of 21 fall shows would feature Black characters and one was about a transgender
Yeah this is really getting to me. I watched "The Old Guard" with my family a few months ago and immediately knew it was made post-2016 because it had a black female audience insert, female lead, a christian and muslim gay couple etc. I could almost predict the twists in the story just based off of the character's skin colour: black, they're good, white, they're bad. The newer Fahrenheit 451 movie has Guy Montag cast as a black guy even though the world of the book was reminiscent of WW2 England. Seems like everywhere I look now I notice how massively over represented minorities, in particular black people, are.
Those pronouns are a pretty clear indicator that this person is compromised.
