Universal basic income will reduce crime. That crime didn't go down in the Finland pilot does not disprove that, and it definitely doesn't disprove the causation of crime by poverty, nor support the eugenics view that crime is in the genes like Elon appears to grossly believe.

@scottsantens Elmo is wrong about a great many things, including most of the things he talks about publicly. He was raised under a viciously racist govt by a viciously racist father and grandfather, and he believes in this stuff. Not only because he's ignorant, but also because he's a horrible person. All his 'thinking' just works backwards from the conclusions he's already decided must be true.

No one should pay any attention to what he has to say about anything race-related, ever.

@scottsantens

What evidence is there that Phoney Stark even wants evidence? They interfere with his racism and bigatory.

@scottsantens Poverty drives more crime than anyone wants to admit. When people are desparate, they will do almost anything to survive.

@scottsantens Elon musk is off his rocker. He’s a charlatan and a lazy buffoon. Nothing he says is based on reality. More fool anyone who believes he knows what he is talking about. Interesting read on income and crime. Thanks for sharing.
