Doesn't the society you live in already maintain order through force? Aren't you already being taxed and the money used for whatever, including things you may find reprehensible?
If UBI were to make more sense than whatever welfare maze we currently have then why not switch? Having a job or means to support yourself is not a guarantee these days, not everyone is as lucky.
- AdrianB1 10y agoThat's the point: the entire welfare maze does not make sense, so UBI does not either. I am not talking about maintaining order (by force or not), but about extorting people to pay from their work to give to others. There are many arguments around pro and con, some are simply ridiculous but there are around for so many time and inoculated so well, it works like a religion now: beliefs trumps reason.
