I'm a big proponent of UBI or at least a negative income tax, but this is an extremely misleading representation of investing, claiming that it does not provide any value. Just because your income is not linearly tied to hours of physical labor at some task does NOT equate it to receiving a check as part of a social safety net. I think there are better arguments for this cause.
- 464192002d7fe1c 10y agoI'm not remotely sold on UBI (not sold against it either) but this article is just nonsense. It's very obviously intended to "preach to the choir" and not to discuss UBI in any serious terms or to convert anyone to the concept of UBI. In fact, for me someone who is skeptical of UBI but not against it, it pushes me further away from the idea of UBI. "If the supporters of UBI think like this, I don't want to be anything like them"
