I think they were just speaking figuratively...

Just doing some quick math, if we assume the U.S. government gives $13,000 to all citizens in the United States (~328.2 million), that would cost the government 4 trillion dollars. It would take a LOT of money to make UBI work. It costs less if you only give money to the poor, which is called GMI, or guaranteed minimum income.

Phorbus wrote:The UBI is useless.

Disagree.

Phorbus wrote:I mean you can just print money and give it to people, but what you can't print is resources. It's not really contributing that much other than raising inflation.

True, but what about a country that already has widespread resources? Distributing currency to citizens allows them to access said resources.

I'm sure we're not there yet, but most sci-fi writers either envision a dystopian future, or one in which the wealth of nations is shared in some way.

Either the US got some very different views on how to implement UBI or people don't understand finances. Well, the US can't do anything right - it is one of the aforementioned shabby countries that needs a lot of fixes before even being able to think about UBI. You don't print money, you cut government money sinks and circulate money through peoples expenses and taxes. Taxes are yet again something most US citizens seem to have issues with even if they're to their net benefit.

My income inequality dropped significantly for no apparent reason. I worked hard to reach 98 to 1... If progress wasn't so slow I would start from scratch.

I have reason to believe a state sponsored rebellion group had infiltrated our beautiful empire. I warn you, actions like this will scale into full scale war, don't mess with us or our country, good day sir and sirdetts

If true, it's no worry. This is one of the most stable regions and nothing happens ever anyway.

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about a real world nation where something bad's about to go down, or are people with nothing better to do about to mess with Lands End, or are you just giving us a statuse report on the Empire or Antarctican Immagrants?

I love how you can have the most tyrannical government the world has ever seen but random citizens still manage go enter your office and scream at you about any little issue they have. Where's the damn security?

Actually, its cool flag.

My friends and comrades and business partners. What does it mean when telegramms are deleted before you can read them? I get notices but when I click on them they say I can't read the TG.

Check filters, i searched forum a bit, but no results. Filters arent probably the reason, but thats all i can come up with. Also, arent the states that sent you telegramm deleted? I dont know if would it affect it

Same thing happens to me. At first I thought it may have been due to my inbox being full, and for some reason it was deleting new telegrams instead of the old ones. But even after manually deleting them to make room it still happens sometimes, so I don't know why it is.

Is there any issue to completely abolish income taxes or do I have to lower it bit by bit?

The Supreme Ancapistan wrote:Is there any issue to completely abolish income taxes or do I have to lower it bit by bit?

Occasionally there are, you have 3 types to reduce taxes. First by making decisions that don't increase taxes, avoid simply things that would increase taxes in the first case. Second is when there is an option for tax breaks, etc. and third are issues specifically concerning taxes. One such issue slashed my 67% taxes down to 18% by shrinking the government and expenses.

So if anybody has any questions about any requirements for it, or what position does what, please feel free to send me a telegram or contact me on discord (News Slovak in AA server, #JayJay7553). Anybody that is a WA nation may run for a position, so don’t be shy to contact me with any questions!

Considering that the elections are coming up in September, I wanted to inform the Shareholders that I will enforce the [URl=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1276030#bylaws]Shareholder Participation Bylaw[/URL].

Shareholders should participate or send a 'no vote' telegram.

I will keep a list of the Shareholders who didn't vote.

This doesn't concern regular WA members or residents, only those who applied to the [URL=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1274835#shareholders]Shareholder Status[/URL].

Kind regards,

Hi everyone,

Since I’m seeing elections chatter, I thought I’d let you all know that I’m not planning on running again this cycle because I’m taking a big step in my life at the moment and won’t have time to do my best at being CCO for most of this next year. It’s been great being the CCO, and interacting with you all, but it’s for the best that we change it up. Consider it a breath of fresh air for the region, after all, we need it from time to time! Constants can get boring. I will miss serving the region, but I will try my best to remain active in the region- no promises though. You at least can expect me to be on at least once every month! Good luck to all of those who run, and I’d like to re-emphasize for the shareholders: VOTE.

Those who intend on running for CCO, let me know and I’ll TG you my very nice guide on what you need to know about being CCO! It’s been a wild ride, and I’m going to miss my position for sure, but it’s for the best.

Thanks,

Spokane

Howdy ya'll.

Yeah, elections are coming up.

So if you want to run for something, go ahead and drop me a line, either here or in Discord. We'll keep applications open for another five days and then I'll send out the ballots.

Remember, this is the first election with mandatory shareholder voting. You don't vote, you lose your Shareholder status. Just something to think about.

And now for something completely different:

Newly appointed AA Cultural Officer Rex Omnia is reviving Augustinvision.

Here's a dispatch with everything you need to know.

Hi everybody,

I am in this post announcing that I will be running, once again, for the governmental position of Chief Personnel Officer. In this position, as I have been doing in my past terms, I am responsible for recruiting and integrating new members into the region - of which this term, I promise I will do more. During this most recent term in office, several projects have been started, which are soon to be completed, such as the regional map; which will lead to a new roleplay situation soon (fingers crossed it will be in the near future after the election!)

I don't have much else to say except to get out there and vote, and perhaps even try running for office or senior management yourself! It's a good bit of experience, even if you are not elected... And who knows! You may even be a regional officer in the near future! All you have to do is try.

My question is why, while being a region officially targeted to free market nations, we have so many socialist and authoritarian nations?
