Maybe you would, but I think most people would rather have a job and be fabulously wealthy relative to those surviving on UBI alone. See: all the people who work 60h a week in SF making $200k instead of chilling at a bank working 35h for $80k.
- lisivka 10y agoPolitics will tell people that they will raise basic income to win election. To raise income, they will raise taxes, so I will work 80h for $20K instead of $200K. It's not a joke: post-USSR countries already have exactly this problem.
- aianus 10y agoI don't think any countries have successfully automated most of their economies yet so it's apples and oranges.
