> Let's get on with Basic Income
Won't that just cause all the amoral people in politics to begin promising to raise the basic income more than the next politician will, reducing all policymaking to a race to bribe the populace, so that they'll ignore all the other amoral things the politicians are doing?
- TeMPOraL 10y agoLike in Honor Harrington? Let's hope not.
- danenania 10y agoAt least they'd be bribing the populace rather than the wealthy.
- pjlegato 10y agoThe wealthy would still get bribed, and a lot more than the pittance that the populace would get.
