>Welfare can be controlled via food stamps that stop people from wasting their money on alcohol, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and casinos. UBI is just a cash handout which absolutely go to those things and drugs. Why are you so opposed to allowing people to spend money on mood altering substances? >If the government guaranteed me $100k a year I wouldn't work. I mean I'd "work" but at being a rock musician or comic book artist or a non-practical technical pursuit. And maybe your artistic pursuits would help make others happier and motivated and inspired to work on their projects that would qualify as real "work" to you. For example: Lots of people listen to music to get in the groove when they are working on something that requires them to block out the distracting real world.
