      "title": "How I stopped a fight at Osheaga",
      "body": "I was at the Montreal Osheaga Music Festival yesterday when a fight was about to start. I was standing in line to use the outdoor bathrooms with my partner. \n\n![cloudvisual-208962.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYyhMvKSxhQ82i4txFPeU4N3edthsdzonVfoiYXL9WKcM/cloudvisual-208962.jpg)\n[Photo by CloudVisual](https://unsplash.com/@cloudvisual)\n\nWe were carrying out a pretty cerebral conversation about what it meant to be agreeable and in which contexts, when we were interrupted by a guy that showed up behind us asking if we were in line.\n\nWe told him we were, he was apologetic for interrupting us, we said it was all good, and we talked about nothing with him for a few minutes as we waited. The person in front of me went into the stall, so I was up next. As that person came out, a guy talking on his phone walked past both of us and started going for the stall. I walked towards it too, but he was ready to shove me off, so I decided to let him pass and that I wasn’t about to escalate the situation. In fact, I was in a state of mind of pretty pure acceptance. It slid right off my back without a second thought.\n\nBut the guy waiting behind us started flipping out. He was livid. He was trying to get me to be upset too, but I wasn’t. I told him that I believed in karma and that everything is exactly as it should be and that it all balances out in the end. He said something like he hopes that guy gets raped, and me and my partner were like, “Woah there, I wouldn’t call that balance.” He concurred it was overkill, but kept riling himself up as I tried to bring him down. He said he was going to punch the guy in the face when he gets out. I told him not to do that.\n\nSo the guy gets out of the toilet and this guy behind me starts telling him he can’t just cut in front of people and is yelling at him. I’m in the mindset to de-escalate. I didn’t see the situation as worth fighting over and the guy that was waiting behind me (I had offered to let him go in front of me even) was just being belligerent. He didn’t seem drunk from what I could tell, but I’m not always the best judge of that.\n\nI put myself in between them because they were about to step into each other’s faces. I’m only 5'10\", but am not a ‘small’ guy, and both of these guys were at least a few inches shorter than me and not nearly as wide.\n\nSo all along, I’m of the mind, “Yeah, the guy who cut the line isn’t very nice, but if that’s how he treats people in his life, he’s probably hurting pretty bad inside whether he knows it or not.”\nWe’re all just trying to get on, be fair, and this cutter doesn’t want to obey the unspoken rules of standing in line. Sure, he’s wrong, but he doesn’t deserve to get knocked out for it. Maybe some booing was in order, but that’s about it.\n\nSo now, standing between them, the guy who was waiting behind me shouts out at him, “Faggot.” Now, if I were in a less de-escalation state, I would have turned to that guy and called him out for using a hate slur in 2017. But instead, I turned to the guy who had cut in line and was apologizing for this nincompoop, trying to get him to turn the other cheek.\nI turned back and forth between them, trying to get them both to calm down and let this end. The cutter started walking away and the guy waiting took a step back. I stepped out, thinking this was done and stepped over to my partner five feet away. Then the guy waiting shouted something at the cutter and the cutter ran towards him and shoved him, it looked like it was going to come to blows. The cutter backed off, put space between them, and then, like an utter fool, the person who was waiting started shouting again. They were both not too far from me at this point. I put myself between them again, looked at the guy who I had been waiting with and told him in an affirmative tone (whereas before I had been quite Zen-like), “If you don’t cut this out you’re going to have a fight with me.”\n\nHe apologized to me. The crowd convinced the other guy to actually leave the scene instead of continually coming back, and that was the end. I went to the bathroom, and when I came out, I was still pumping with adrenaline. I wanted to call him out for using hate speech and thinking that’s acceptable language. I was ready to do it. I didn’t see him again though. He was gone.\n\nI don’t find myself in these types of situations too often. But I’m feeling better and better equipped to manage them if they do arise. I still hold regrets for not calling him out for the slur, but in the heat of the moment, I was focused on stopping a really dumb fight from occurring.\n\nHave any suggestions on what I could try to do differently next time? I’m all ears.\n\n---\n\nIf after reading this, you thought to yourself, \"Hey, Jamie seems like an interesting guy, what else is he up to in his life?\" Well, click here to find out about [JoatU](http://joatu.org)--an altruistic community-centered alt-economy I've been building OR just see it all on my general website [here](http://honestlymarketing.com).",

In reality, when you \"buy\" land, you never really own it, because that would imply entirely absurd consequences. First, if you have true property rights over a piece of land, you have property rights over the people who live and work there, which is basically the feudal model of serfdom. When you \"buy\" land, you are actually buying use rights for that land. I am personally a big fan of the Georgist taxation model, where land use is the one thing that is moral to tax, because land is actually everyone's, also, it is a finite resource that an individual can't produce, so taxing land use is not exerting property rights over the labor of a human, the definition of slavery.",

Given the incredible class jealousy, litigiousness and pettiness present in the political spheres, there can be no  new program that resembles welfare that could ever be implemented to address structural inequality in the U.S.\n\nBut, if UBI is given to EVERYONE, then it could pass and would create a whirlwind of spending... Because poor people are low on everything. Plus, if people can sign-over their UBI to family members for a tax credit, then middle aged Americans can take better care of their elders and children.",

      "body": "![Utopia](https://i.imgur.com/kTLXomp.jpg)\n\nIn a world where money flows into the hands of its citizenry for their basic needs, desperation is on the decline. [Stress from poverty](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/08/poverty-race-ethnicity-dna-telomeres_n_7228530.html) is on the decline. [Emergency room visits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mincome) are on the decline. Depression, drug addiction, and [suicide](http://www.towardfreedom.com/35-archives/labor/3842-the-death-of-all-hope-rising-global-suicide-rates-linked-to-poverty-unemployment) all begin to see a decline across the board.\n\nPeople with mental illnesses can afford proper treatment. People who have lost their jobs will not also have to lose their homes. Medicine for prevention is now prescribed as the potential time to live a better life is now within reach for an increasing amount of citizens.\n\n\n##### The world has changed.\n##### Basic Income has come.\n ##### Who will suffer? <h2>\n\n# The Black Market <h1> \n\nIf you’re living in abject poverty and your neighbor offers you the opportunity to make ‘quick cash’ by selling drugs, you might take that opportunity because…well…You have so few viable opportunities. Odds are (depending on the country), you don’t have quality healthcare, you have limited opportunities with higher education, you hold no job prospects, and everywhere you turn, they’re [clamping down on homeless](http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/criminalising-the-homeless-is-a-new-low-for-london-733).\n\nNow, introduce a basic income into this situation. You’re sitting on the stoop of your apartment (because you have enough money to afford a place to live) and you’re offered an opportunity to sell drugs.\n\nIt has been studied and shown that people are generally [loss-averse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_aversion). That is to say, someone would lose more satisfaction from losing $100 than they would gain satisfaction from winning $100.\n\nIf I am earning $1000/month from the government to follow the rule of law, will I risk that earning and the possibility of incarceration to make a little bit more?\n\nIf the lowest rung of organized criminal enterprises are no longer able to be latched into the game because the risks are too high and the desperation isn’t there, how does organized crime react?\n\nIt seems only natural that the wages paid to low-level drug dealers is going to need to increase. If that is to happen, there are a few ways to balance the increased pay. Either the cost of the product increases, the bosses take diminished salaries, or some combination of the two.\n\nThere are two more factors which we have yet to consider, competing organized crime & decreased drug usage.\nCompeting organized crime means that an increase in the drug cost from one gang creates an opportunity of market capitalization from the other. If Gang A raises prices and Gang B keeps their prices the same, we can expect to see an increase in the revenues of Gang B, even if their profit margins are smaller.\n\nNow we must consider the customer who is also experiencing a dilemma with loss-aversion. Continue doing drugs and risk being arrested and losing your basic income…Or try to clean yourself up and try to live with the laws put in place by the state.\n\nIf the drug user is a casual user and not absolutely dependent, their decision to keep using could also be affected by the increased costs within the black market.\n\n\n#####  It is my hypothesis that a basic income will lead to a decrease in drug use, a decrease in drug overdoses, a decrease in gang-related violence, and a mild destabilization of the black market.\nLegalizing all drug use would have a much more significant effect on the black market than basic income would, but this effect is far from irrelevant.\n\n\nIf the poor received a salary from the government to not deal in illegal activities, wouldn’t the majority of them seize the opportunity immediately? Criminality and poverty are intrinsically linked — not because the poor want to be criminals, but because they don’t want to be poor. End poverty and decrease criminality.\n\nIn the next part of this series, we will explore the topic of minimum wage employment.\n\n---\n\n![Support me on Patreon](http://imgur.com/Z405gwv.jpg)\n\nIf you enjoy my content, [please support my goal in achieving a basic income by contributing a small monthly pledge](https://www.patreon.com/jamieklinger). \n\n[Jamie Klinger](http://jamieklinger.com)  — Founder of [JoatU](http://joatu.org), former member of Coop Sur Genereux, Basic Income Activist, Community Organizer, Entrepreneur, Writer, Photographer, Marketer, Poker Coach and Rebel with a Cause.",
