[Uhhrrr]

The "profit" in real BI would mostly go to the recipients, with the government only getting the usual IRS cut, and taxpayers likely not getting it directly.

The analogy also doesn't work because you also have the rich douchebag investing venture capital and buying board seats and laying people off. Taxpayers don't do that.

Also, semantically, calling those who accept basic income "whores" is not going to serve the goal of promoting basic income.

Also, the BI in the story only goes to those earning "close to the median income."

Etc, etc. There are so many ways this piece fails: Getting the facts right on BI, as an analogy, as satire, and as a pro-BI piece.
