My plan is the UBI that benefits no one. Under my UBI policy, you don't need a UBI and you only get one by having extra taxes leaving you in the same position.

It's all part of my master plan to get rid of WINZ, now there's a policy people would vote for!

But also, there's evidence that targeted support often misses those that need it most. Feeding all kids in a school is more likely to be effective at feeding kids in poverty than trying to target just kids in poverty. The UBI is the same concept.

Hmm yes, true. Paint everyone with the same brush and no one.. Falls.. Through the cracks. I messed up that analogy somewhere.

Yeah, i cant stand winz. The website says 'check how much you might get!' When applying for a benefit, like its a goddam raffle ticket or something.

Im not trying to 'get' something WINZ, im just trying to survive!

Alright, youve got my vote!

Haha I have to deal with WINZ occasionally and because it's an edge case I try to explain things to them, they tell me I'm wrong, I point out the thing they think I'm supposed to do makes no sense given the circumstances, they tell me it doesn't matter I have to do it anyway, I just do what they want even though it makes no sense, and every time I want to find the WINZ Reform Party and give them my vote.
