> Here is a hint to people in US. Look at a nation where there is "Universal Basic Income", or all those freebies and welfare benefit your guys ask for. Do you want your country, which is an example for remainder of the world for progress to turn into a nation like this? Firstly I having UBI does not make 'a nation like this'. There are a bunch of other variable like religion and tribalism that separate western to Middle Eastern nations. Secondly, what wrong with humans producing 'low output' if the UBI is sustainable? The problem in SA is the oil is running out. IF UBI is built from automation and efficiency its an entirely different story. Thirdly UBI is, as it says in the name, is a 'basic income'. People then work for privileges to afford nicer cars, holidays etc which is likely IMO that a high proportion will. In the case of SA, this is not UBI, it is/was high paid salaries for jobs that dont really exist. 2 very different things.
