I hate when the far right says, "Who's gonna pay for it?!" Referring to any program that would help the poor or needy... What would Jesus do? Asshole.

There's a bill in the Canadian senate right now for UBI, and yeah, this is what the conservatives are saying.

For anyone interested in the bill: https://www.ubiworks.ca/guaranteed-livable-basic-income

Jesus would make sure they are tested for drugs before curing their leprosy.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

how do we know they don't want to stay leprous ?

This is going to be my go-to response from now on.

Did Jesus ever teach anyone to fish? I remember the story where he just gave people fish. ๐Ÿค”

So it seems Jesus is only good with feeding people for a day, instead of the rest of their lives. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

we need 365 Jesuses

Yes, the magic of an impromptu potluck

Literally the whole point of this "miracle" was to show how if everyone pools resources, there's more than enough to go around

But that didn't fit the message the Romans were going for, so they magic'd it up

The only food mentioned is the little kid fishes and bread. If it were more, pretty sure they'd mention it as well.

The whole point was that they were far away from the nearest place to buy food and money for feeding about 15k people would exceed even a yearly salary

Literally there was not enough food in the whole group for a "potluck"

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Jesus made a speech, they passed around the baskets his group had for the meal, and suddenly they more than enough

Do you think they had grocery stores? That they catered events? That they even had a salary, and carried money instead of food?

I don't even know where all these numbers and money focus are coming from, but they weren't in the text

Everyone shared their lunch... That was the whole thing. They shared the food they were initially unwilling to share, and when everyone was full (including those who came with nothing) they had baskets of leftovers

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Good answer, and maybe. But you can be sure the magic would help, and even without magic he would help.

Jesus would make a dupping glitch with food

We already see what happens with you duplicate glitch books/knowledge/art

when the far right says, "Who's gonna pay for it?!"

It's funny, the obvious answer is "rich people who have magnitudes more money", but plenty of poor stupid people respond "BuT tHeY aLrEaDy PaY mOrE" as if someone with 100000x as much money as you should get off paying maybe pays 100 or 1000x when you're paying 25% and they're paying 5 or 10% of take home.

When they're asking genuinely, I don't mind giving a genuine reply. But when it becomes clear they're doing the online equivalent of filibustering? "You, you specifically are going to pay for it, and I hope it makes you go bankrupt."
