Here they are usually part of the junction and get green when the cars get green. There is no separate phase as in some countries ie Japan. Turning traffic always has to give way to pedestrians who have the green light.

Zebras have the right of way at all times. As do giraffes, hippos, rhino, and lions. Monkeys can fuck right off, the little shits.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: Universal Basic Income thread
To be fair, the MBI must be weighted so that disfavored groups and marginalized classes have a higher MBI than the majority. So, you, as a member of the white, cis-heteronormative patriarchy, will be receiving the least. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair or equal.laklak wrote:I'm all for it. Bring it on. I figure my most basic income, that would support me in the style to which I would like to be (and deserve to be) accustomed, is about $10,000 a month. OK, I'll likely do without my daily beluga and Dom, but I can make do if y'all can.

Re: Universal Basic Income thread
If they already have a list of everybody to check everybody against, then why don't they just put everyone into the lottery? Avoid the administrative cost of having people sign up, since they don't have to pay anything to be in the mix anyway.NineBerry wrote:This is fully legit. There were documentaries on the television recently on people who had won last year. You don't need to pay anything to participate. You just need to give complete and correct details on name and address as in your passport (so that they can check no one registers twice).

An UBI will not differentiate between different groups (except maybe age groups). However, there will hopefully still be an additional system that provides additional support for needy people like for example people with disabilities.

This is a private lottery. It is not connected to the government in any way.
