How so? Universal Basic Income means, you get it no matter what. So if they require you to serve to get money, that's no UBI.


GP is being a realist. Just because it says "universal" in the name doesn't actually constrain the whims of the state.


I remember reading about how the US military is a socialist society. Housing, income, free education, free healthcare for life...

Funny how the biggest part of the US budget is funding that.


Particularly if you live overseas on base. The military provides everything for you, albeit often through vendors such as AAFES. But yeah, free healthcare for sure.

None of it is free, what are you talking about? It is very much earned.

Free means you didn’t do anything to get something.

Ever been shot at before?
