Seems like a total straw man argument.
I think very few are against the idea of free money for everybody because of the fear of moral decay if people aren't working. I think the opponents are worried about where that money to fund UBI will come from.
Taking away people's assets to be redistributed is obviously kind of a touchy subject.
- djcapelis 10y agoI've actually seen a lot of folks argue against UBI out of the assumption that if people don't have to work, no one will ever do anything with their lives and we'll all go to hell with no production whatsoever. This article is targeted at that argument. If that's not an argument against UBI you want to make, that's great, but it's still worthwhile for the author to write something here.
