Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I can tell you just grabbed the first result of a Google search "why basic income works" because you linked an article with a pay wall that doesn't actually allow you to read it, leading me to believe you didn't read it either. So thanks.
However, just the title and first paragraph I was able to skim highlight the point I'm making: it doesn't matter if a system works if not enough people are willing to adopt it. Which is what the concept of the overton window is built on.
Lul, skill issues, unsurprising
I'm not going to unfuck your source because you're too lazy to check it. The skill issue is yours, my friend
Despite the minimal effort I put in, I still managed a rebuttal. Where's yours? Oh right, you aren't interested in actually understanding the problem. You just Google a response without checking it and let other people affirm your flawed views.
🤡
That's what I thought
🤣
Actually, before I leave you to congratulate yourself on not actually saying anything, I just want to point out how funny it is that you mic dropped an article that makes the same point I did by mistake because you didn't read it. And now you're trying to flex on me because you still haven't read it.
I'm just happy I could be part of this exchange. It's not often that someone I argue with proves themselves wrong with the very first and only point they make, and then doubles down so hard that they're just sending emojis.
Thanks for that. Later
😂
