Even the most ardent Biden supporter will admit that there will be a spread of malaise on top of the baloney.

It will not be good for a sizable portion of Americans. The ones that count on work to tire themselves out so they don't beat their wives, abuse animals, or molest 10 year old kids. Those kinds of crimes know no boundaries in terms of political affiliation. We are not wired genetically to go from taking most of the time we are awake just to have the basics such as it was 100 years ago to have unlimited free time and yet be fed, sheltered, etc..

Who determines when there is not enough work? Has that not been an issue for quite a long time now? UBI does not address basic human behavior including the desire to have more economically than those around you. I fear that there will be a growing number of malcontents in society. Couple that with someone's misguided attempt to initiate environmental programs by restricting access to powered vehicles or environmental controls in a person's living quarters. Still going to need an effort/reward system to satisfy those who want more than you.

As long as most Asian-Americans funnel through the public schools they will get the same guilt message as the other well performing groups. They just can't be used as the example the hucksters desire. The left will keep hammering for the next decade or so ahead of the planned wholesale change in terms of a massive redistribution of wealth.

The world is going to get run over by the technology it has created in the last 30 years plus what is going to be released in the next 20 years. Our social structure is designed as such that we are obligated to spend on average 8 hours per day engaged in earning money so we can have food, clothing, shelter, etc.. Not perfect but it kept most of society in balance emotionally among other things. Now technology threatens to up end that social structure. People who can't adapt to new technology or new skills will become isolated perhaps leading to anti-social behavior resulting in a spike in crime. I expect that some people will be outright left behind in a new world where menial skills become minimally important. What did I read recently in terms of a 3D printer capable of producing a complete home. Won't need carpenters, roofers, etc. and those are the professions that have people that do not readily adapt to jobs requiring more advanced skill sets. This will all be an issue first in advanced nations such as the US.

............that people like you are disproportionately focused on skin color? You obviously played with your Fisher-Price toys during Thanksgiving dinner versus listening to what the adults may have been talking about at the big table during the 1970's. Do you realize that just a tiny amount of time before that most whites did not cross ethnic lines out of fear of other ethnic groups when it came to business unless otherwise impossible. Italian families patronized businesses owned by Italians as much as possible. Irish families patronized businesses owned by the Irish as much as possible. And down the line. That interest rates set by the local First National bank were set by your "risk" which was a euphemism to say that anybody other than Protestant English and Dutch were going to be charges an extra couple of points at a minimum on a loan if they were approved at all. I hate to tell you this but I never heard of a "white club" that looked out for people of light skin color. When my father's parents first came to this area whites burned other whites out of their home or business. And it was not many years prior that the same people would do a burn out with the targeted people still inside a structure. I could go on but you don't really care about the truth. You just want to keep ginning up negative emotions for a political objective.

You forgot SE Asian immigrants. They had to literally float their way to America. Or stay behind to be placed in concentration camps.

Your burger should be cheap since it will be exclusively soy byproduct.

Yes, I have no doubt that you believe logic is stupid.

If it has served you well then you would not be on a sports team message board pitching crap to people that do not believe in you.

Change is the one constant with humanity. As I said large volume slaughter of mammals is a rather recent phenomenon. It would not surprise me to see that change within the next 50 years. I don't fear such a change which may surprise you. As to male calves that was once accurate but sexed ***** has been around for quite a while now so it is not the issue it once was. As to impregnations that would happen in nature as the males would seek out the females that were in heat. As to discomfort that is seldom true. Can people be cruel to cows? Yes, but that happens on a very extremely remote basis in this day and age. Animals placed under stress do not do well in terms of production. Full legal abortion? As to workers there is already a domino effect in place due to the pandemic. The garage I dealt with to keep my vehicles running plus pass NYS inspection is up for sale because business was far too erratic during that time. Prepping a vehicle for inspection was a can that many kicked down the road when the budgets of many people suddenly could not cover every base every month. The current garage I use has an owner that benefitted from unusual circumstances (inherited money) to keep himself afloat during that time. Not saying that he did not layoff some staff as his business also went into a steep decline but he did not owe the bank on assets unlike the previous guy. These are Americans that most politicians do not see as they exist on what we historically called Main Street in the economic vernacular. Large in numbers but small to the politicians that are only concerned about Wall Street or the extremely poor. The pain on Main Street in my mind is just starting to flare up.

Tiberius said it himself when he admitted that those in some states (in this case Kentucky) would rather shoot critters for viddles than weed plus tend a garden. This in an era when it most definitely was not a matter of eating meat or starving. This mentality is very evident in other states including NY. If I had to guess most people are still very primal when it comes to food. Not sure what else matters in this matter. The rest of your statement may be your principles but not those of most human beings. But, yes, there are certainly issues with modern meat distribution. Wide spread slaughter of mammals was rather isolated prior to the 20th Century. Most people had poultry as a primary meat source in their diet. Even in the 20th Century many on a weekly basis had poultry (my family and neighbors) and fish (Catholic tradition). My diet is born out of my parents' era in that red meat is not on the table everyday.

True. It might help dampen egos that could sorely use some kind of deflation. The point was it takes a lot of effort to grow vegetables if mechanization and chemicals are taken out of the process. I doubt many would be down for daily weeding including getting down on one's knees and hands for many weeks consecutive to do so.

If people had to grow their own vegetables a lot more would be gatherers or hunters.

I have not seen a Bumbles post in a long time. Does he have a different handle? Is he on a different site? He was an excellent source of information on things such as players' contracts and other NFL business issues.
