> it begins to look to a lot of people like the more damage you do to society, the more money you make This is mostly why I abandoned all hope of 'big' entrepreneurship. You cannot compete if you have a conscience. Someone who knows a few more schemes or a few more influential people will destroy you. I am 100% certain I can add value in the right situations. However, if the market makes those situations untenable via barriers to entry, misleading marketing, backroom deals and whatever other means, what options am I left with? Ugly ones. Basic income at least allows for the possibility of people contributing to society without involving the almighty dollar. It may or may not work, but whoever doesn't think that possibility is worth exploring needs to give me a hell of a good reason. The cost of food and shelter for your average human is not gonna break the damn bank.
