a thousand extra dollars every month for low income individuals is life changing

A thousand extra dollars every month for prosperous individuals is convenient

A thousand extra dollars every month for the rich is indistinguishable from nothing

The point I'm trying to make is: it's objectively beneficial to those who need it most and does basically nothing for the parasites. It's win-win. Honestly you'd lose more money on the means testing If you tried to exclude the meager minority of rich people.

I will never not be a fan of a freedom dividend.
