They say you have to work hard and chase your dreams, but if you belong to the wealthiest Native American tribe in the world, you can sleep through life
Alternative title: Guaranteed Universal Basic Income works fantastically fucking well for Seminole Native Americans
This isn’t socialism this is capitalism the people of the Seminole tribe are essentially receiving dividends. Without the casino, a capitalist machine in the truest for, there is no money to pay the people.
I don’t think it’s capitalist, because the means of production were purchased by the tribe as a whole and are the property of the tribe. Definitely socialism.
The original commenters point was to use this as an example for why Universal Basic Income is a good idea and my point is that without capitalism this doesn’t work. You couldn’t reproduce this to cover the cost of UBI for everyone. It only works because it lives off of a very profitable industry and services a small group of people.
Hopefully they buy back their country and shut it down.
Disgusting.
Gambling ruins lives, these people are profiting off of the pain and suffering of the less fortunate.
So you’re against Vegas and Atlantic city as well or is it just a problem when natives are making profits off of gambling?
They said gambling is bad and you start to insinuate that they are racists. Seriously ?!?
Who are these people they’re referring to?
I’m past the point of giving Americans the benefit of the doubt. It’s a bigoted racist society to its core. After years of being proven wrong When assuming people who make comments like that are good people, I’m left with assuming the people that make ambiguous statements such as the one above are dog whistling and I’d wager that I’m right about this and you are wrong.
Some people bankrupt casinos, these people are nation building.
