Welfare should be eliminated in favor of:
1. UBI for sterilized people
2. Massive tax reductions for people who have children

@cjd @customdesigned Fuck UBI. It's called welfare. Calling it income is a lie. And in theory, the sterile people should NOT get welfare because they have more hours and energy to work.

It's an incentive. If you're a loser and you can't take care of yourself, here's the deal: Get snipped and you'll be taken care of for life.

But alternatively, welfare could just be replaced by work camps where you can check yourself in and you know you're gonna get fed and clothed and you'll have a job. Kind of like prisons in El Salvador.

@cjd @customdesigned Eugenics. Hard pass.

What made 20th century eugenics bad was the fact that governments inserted themselves into trying to decide what is the "ideal genome". That's an un-knowable question, and trying to presuppose it is playing God and will doom you to doing horrible stuff.

However, that doesn't change the fact that there are objectively more fit and less fit genes. What we have now could be called Dysgenics, because money is taken away from the honest and successful people (reducing their ability to reproduce) and given to dishonest and unsuccessful people (increasing their chances). Current policy is literally anti-evolution.

There is nothing inherently unethical about conditioning gibs on getting snipped. Nobody is forced to accept that deal. It may be a bad plan just on account of the fact that too many people would accept the deal and you'd have population collapse, but that's not an ethical problem.
