I love this picture and fawn are just so cute
However you must remember the deer population is exploding. Do your duty and go hunt to cull the population. The tick menace won't solve itself.

Natives do not receive monthly government checks just for being native, it's a myth. What does happen sometimes is that tribes will share profits from casinos or natural resources among its members, or in some relatively rare instances the U.S. government has to provide financial compensation for land as part of treaties with the tribes. It is a minority of Indian nations which receive these payments, and they're also not welfare or a form of government assistance; they're legitimate payments which are owed to those individuals for something which was taken from them or which they are providing.
Those "trash" people are already receiving welfare and benefit from government programs, so this is a confusing argument. All this would change for them is that the amount they get per month is capped at the same level every other citizen is getting, and there wouldn't be some bureaucrat dictating how they spend it (thereby reducing the sense of government dependence that welfare gives). If they spend the money on illegal drugs or something then arrest them for that and throw them in rehab. If they spend it on a shitty apartment and vidya, but aren't working, who gives a shit? They're still out buying things which benefits the economy.

>What could possibly be conservative about free money? In fact, the idea of direct government cash payments to the needy — even on a non-emergency basis — has a long lineage among conservative thinkers and policymakers. Its reappearance signifies a larger rethinking of economic policy on the right.
>Today, cash grants or universal basic income (UBI) seems a classic Democratic Party idea, associated with upstart presidential contender Andrew Yang. But the first president who embraced the idea was Republican Richard Nixon. The name most associated with the reform was Milton Friedman, the face of free market economics for his generation.
>Originally conceived during hard times, Friedman maintained his support of the basic concept even during the prosperous 1960s. He came up with a new twist — send the money through the IRS — and called it a “negative income tax.”
>President Nixon seized upon the idea when he came into office, calling it the Family Assistance Plan (FAP). Supporters inside the administration included George Shultz, who later headed the Treasury Department and the State Department under President Ronald Reagan.
>Strikingly, it was the newer wave of conservatives, tied closely to President Trump, who led the push for immediate and universal cash support... While populists invoked low-wage workers living paycheck to paycheck, cash payments also appealed to business-oriented Republicans like Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), an early advocate of the idea.
UBI is literally one of the most bipartisan policy measures in existence and has support from the furthest fringes of "the left" all the way to the furthest fringes of "the right". Anybody who dismisses it as some kind of Bernie tier commie scheme is only doing so because they hear "free money" and become scared that their neocon good goy score will be lowered if they hear it out.
I feel like having some spicy opinions today
ANARCHO-CAPITALISM IS CRYPTO-ECOFASCISM
>If they spend it on a shitty apartment and vidya, but aren't working, who gives a shit?
everyone because they tend to have 10 trillion kids and normies can't stand to see kids suffer so they'll dole out even more welfare
>b-but you could just take the kids away
that's at least 30 million kids in foster care within 5 years of passing that law
also i'm not opposed to UBI in theory, i just think that we'd continue to tack on laws and regulations that regulate how people spend the money so they aren't just spending it on jewelry and doritos and are actually taking care of their kids and eventually it would be as bad as the current welfare state
>UBI
negative income tax*, straight UBI is retarded
As I said, this is a finite cap on payments. The only increases there would ever be would be adjustments for inflation. There is no possibility of anything more being doled out, that's exclusively a problem of current welfare systems which this is replacing. There would be no more minimum wage, no more bickering about how many food stamps person x should receive, etc.
If it was anything else, or kept having things tacked onto it, it wouldn't be UBI; it would just be a European style social system.
Also I personally don't think people having kids should increase the amount that you receive, because making babbies is a choice people make. I would only consider subsidizing child-rearing if I was from a country that is currently on the path to extinction like the Baltic states or Italy.
>I personally don't think people having kids should increase the amount that you receive
okay wait never mind that doesn't make any sense fuck
haven't thought this through enough
>there is no possibility that normies would vote against their own best interests and dole out more money because they see an ethnically ambiguous kid crying on the news
ok
saying it's "not UBI" is the same as saying that it's "not real gommunismz", that's a retarded argument
>>there is no possibility that normies would vote against their own best interests and dole out more money because they see an ethnically ambiguous kid crying on the news
this doesn't have anything to do with UBI, it's something that could easily happen tomorrow regardless of UBI being implemented or not. You're making arguments against government payments to people in a general sense, not specifically against this idea. If you're opposed to most or all forms of welfare it's fine, but I'm making arguments for UBI in the context of it being superior to the current system. A "minimum income" wouldn't be a number picked out of thin air, it would be based on objective metres and would only be adjusted when those metres change.
>saying it's "not UBI" is the same as saying that it's "not real gommunismz"
if an income is not "basic", then I think saying that it's not a basic income is completely fair.
>if an income is not "basic",
*not "basic" nor "universal"
increasing payments to any individual because of crying children would not be universal
somewhere in the range of $1000-$1500 per month for every adult in a household
+ somewhere in the range of $300-$500 per month for each child in a household (or however much it costs to feed those things, I have no idea)
no more, no less

Good afternoon can i speak to the boss of /dixie/
he's at work at his plant nursery right now
you may leave a message
*walks up behind you and licks your ear*
If you could pass it on to him that would be good
y-you too
fuck off flaglet
>it would be based on objective metres
ask me how i know you don't know what you're talking about
money printer go brrrr
wtf does that even mean?

most forms of pollution violate the NAP, therefore any anarcho-capitalist society would devolve into environmentalist death squads hunting down factory owners like animals

really want a crow friend
why is the back of my ear wet
might do some crowposts
did you know that crows have funerals?
>The sight of a dead crow tends to attract a mob of a hundred or more live ones. During this ritual, the live crows almost never touch the dead one, which rules scavenging out as a motive.

did you know that crows are extremely S-M-A-R-T?
>Crows are so smart and so good at improvising that some zoologists admiringly call them "feathered apes." And yet, from a primate's perspective, crow brains might look puny. The New Caledonian crow, for example, has a brain that weighs just 0.26 ounces. But relative to its body size, that brain is huge, accounting for 2.7 percent of the bird's overall weight. By comparison, an adult human's three-pound brain represents 1.9 percent of their body weight.
>Of all the living birds, crows, ravens, and parrots have the biggest brain-to-body size ratios. And in lab experiments, these avians show a degree of cognition that puts them on par with the great apes. In fact, research has shown that they have a much higher density of neurons in their forebrains than primates do.
They also understand the principle of water displacement (pic related). If you put food in a beaker floating on some water which is out of their reach, they'll drop objects into the beaker in order to raise the water level and get the food. Truly based!
ah yes the midwest

excuse me what the
did you know that crows have different A-C-C-E-N-T-S?
>the calls these birds use "vary regionally, like human dialects that can vary from valley to valley." And there's more: If a crow changes its social group, the bird will try to fit in by talking like the popular guys. "When crows join a new flock," Marzluff and Angell wrote, "they learn the flock's dialect by mimicking the calls of dominant flock members."

did you know that crows understand T-R-A-F-F-I-C L-A-W-S?
>In Japan, carrion crows (Corvus corone) use cars like oversized kitchen appliances. The birds have learned to take walnuts—a favorite treat—over to road intersections, where they put the hard-shelled snacks down onto the pavement. The crow then waits for a passing vehicle to smash the nut, after which it will swoop down and eat the delicious interior.
>It's a risky trick, but the crows aren't usually run over because (unlike some people) they've figured out what traffic lights mean. Carrion crows wait until the light turns red before flying down to place the un-cracked nut on the road. The second the light goes green, the crow takes off to watch the nut get run over from afar; it will even wait for the next red to scoop up the nut's insides.
>This behavior isn't limited to just one corvid species: American crows have been observed doing the same thing in California.

economics isn't a science you dingus
something like 10% of economists can't even say that the soviet economy was inferior because science isn't equipped to make value judgements
did you know that if you bully crows, they will hate you forever?
>You don't want a crow for an enemy. In 2011, a team from the University of Washington published a remarkable study about the brainpower of local crows. The researchers' goal was to figure out how well the birds could identify human faces. So—in the name of science—they went out and bought two Halloween masks: One resembled a caveman, the other looked like Dick Cheney. It was decided that the caveman getup would be used to threaten the birds, while the Cheney mask was relegated to control status.
>At the five sites, a scientist donned the caveman mask before catching and banding some wild crows... upon their release, the ex-captives loudly "scolded" their assailant with a threatening caw. Seeing this, other birds who had been sitting nearby joined in the fray, swooping down to harass the neanderthalic visitor. Over a period of several years, both masks were regularly worn by team members on strolls through all five test spots. Without fail, the caveman mask was greeted by angry scolds and dive-bomb attacks from crows—including many who'd never been captured or banded—while the birds largely ignored the Dick Cheney mask.
>Amazingly, the caveman disguise continued to provoke a hostile response five years into the experiment—even though the team had stopped trapping crows after those first few site visits. And some of the birds who antagonized the mask-wearer weren't even alive back when the whole thing started. The younger crows couldn't possibly have seen the imitation caveman grab an acquaintance of theirs—but they scolded it anyway. Clearly, the grudge had been passed on; birds were still attacking the mask as recently as 2013.
This also works in reverse; if you have a neighbourhood flock of crows around you, you can literally become their greatest ally by being kind to them. Eventually you can unlock a perk which allows you to summon them when in combat, tearing your enemies to shreds.
I received that information from a crow, and they are always right
no ;n;
of course there's also the possibility that those crows despised every single human in existence besides Dick Cheney
