There's another way to get rid of the cameras that doesn't involve fire, and actually improves safety: stop running red lights. Eventually the cost of the cameras will exceed the generated revenue and they'll turn them off.
It should go into a fund that we use to pay people for voting. Voter turnout is abysmal but if we incentivized it with something more material than just good leaders it might get more people voting.
I don't see any Democrats supporting this bill. I don't see any Democrats trying to dissolve the EPA. I don't see any Democrats repealing the Stream Protection Act. I don't see the Democrats cutting education funding. I don't see the Democrats taking away people's health insurance. I don't see the Democrats defunding Planned Parenthood. I don't see the Democrats pushing through oil pipelines. I don't see the Democrats endorsing coal. Jesus, I could go on and on.
It doesn't matter when you got your rights, it only matters when they were taken away. That's like if the English retook the colonies after the Revolutionary War and the colonists just said, "Whelp, we had a nice 5 months of liberty. Oh well.."
I get your point, but I can't imagine why anyone would want to work for a company that treats its workers like shit and only decides to treat them better because you forced them to, unless they have no other option. I'm arguing that a UBI would cause shitty companies like AT&T to die, because somewhere there's some entrepreneurs who would love to create a telecom company that actually cares about its workers.
If Netflix, Amazon, HBO, et. al. can continue to churn out good-quality productions at a decent rate there's not much need to go see a movie theater anymore. For $10/month you get hundreds of hours of entertainment, vs two hours for $50.
This is where a UBI would really shine. There's no way 17,000 people can all quit and all find other jobs in the same area, but a UBI would give them the time they need to retrain or relocate or just not have to take the first thing that comes along. You would see a drastic decrease in shitty companies because nobody would be forced to take the first exploitive job that comes along.
And 100 years ago they said kids would be dumber for using pencils instead of slates. There's always some Boogeyman that's ruining children, and "the good old days" were always better. The baby boomers have even taken it to the extreme by electing a president who they think will take us back to 1950 because they think everything was better then, much to the detriment of the country. Progress is inevitable, and honestly I would rather my kids be experts at manipulating computers than experts at navigation.
Lying under oath is standard operating procedure for all the shitty leaders we elect, regardless of political party because we have no pride or self-respect as a country. You sound like a dipshit when you say the left does it but the right doesn't.
There's really no way to procedurally generate illegal content into a hard drive, so that information has to come from the outside world at some point, meaning there exists physical evidence or testimony somewhere in the world. The police are just too lazy to hunt for it nowadays.

Republicans voted for these shitheads, so yeah, republicans.

Strawman. End of discussion.
we've kept the terrorists out
No, we just have a different sort of terrorism here.

Another reason for UBI. It disincentivizes companies from acting like that and levels the playing field a bit for the workers.

Considering most Gen-Zers are 10 years old, I don't think you're correct.
Enough to kill off humanity? Well no
Well yes, actually. Killing the oceans and the pollinators will kill off humanity.
Combine a strong OSHA with a UBI and you nearly eliminate any exploitive power of corporations.

And yet they continue to buy John Deere products, perpetuating the cycle.

R Good Enough
No reason except for Cisco getting paid by the government to make their products exploitable...
Except by the geniuses at the FBI in the San Bernardino investigation.

The Hamburglar's identity is finally revealed!
Except you can't prove it's actually a case about child porn without the password.
Now I'm hoping William Shatner runs in 2020.
