One danger is that it lowers the incentive to work.
- ThomPete 10y agoYou will always be incenified to work when it's basic income at least the UBI version as it's not the negative tax version that some talk about.
- hx87 10y agoIf there is little need for work, extrinsic incentives to work don't matter much. Intrinsic incentives (i.e. work is fulfilling) will be enough.
- rfghsfgt 10y agoBut that often isn't enough to get people to work on boring but necessary work.
- hx87 10y ago> boring but necessary work Sounds like a fantastic job for machines! Humor aside, even with UBI you will always increase your income and wealth if you put in extra work, unless some current schemes where your income stagnates or even falls if you earn enough to put yourself outside some arbitrary bracket.
