That is not true. It could work very well in today's society. And UBI is not designed to have every other guy slacking around, you will still need incentives to work (i.e. paychecks).
Basic Income can, in theory, have wonderful effects without much changing the working world: Taking the pressure off people and a give them a hell lot of freedom and a stronger stance in negotiations.
- ThomPete 9y agoNo this is where I believe you and many others go wrong, especially, if you like me are a proponent. It's an argument you can't win as there is no and will never be evidence that it could work. That's political territory IMO. In my view, you will be much more likely to succeed that discussion if you manage to make it rational and about whether there will be jobs in the future than whether it's a better way to architect the current situation.
