I wonder how many UBI proponents here would be willing to adopt your immigration rules, which go a long way toward making your system work as well as it does.

- tmnvix 9y agoI'm not exactly sure which rules you are referring to, but if you are alluding to Australia and New Zealand being difficult to emigrate to, I would just point out their respective population growth rates relative to the US (this growth is not due to natural increase - it is immigration that is driving it). https://www.google.co.nz/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&ctype=b&strail=false&nselm=s&met_x=sp_dyn_le00_in&scale_x=lin&ind_x=false&met_y=sp_dyn_tfrt_in&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&met_s=sp_pop_totl&scale_s=lin&ind_s=false&dimp_c=country:region&ifdim=country&iconSize=0.5&uniSize=0.035#!ctype=l&strail=false&bcs=d&nselm=h&met_y=sp_pop_grow&scale_y=lin&ind_y=false&rdim=region&idim=country:AUS:NZL:USA&ifdim=region&tdim=true&hl=en_US&dl=en_US&ind=false https://www.google.co.nz/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9...
- diggernet 9y agoI am referring to the points system and income requirements, which give priority to people who are young, healthy, well educated, in demand, and/or wealthy. This ensures that most who are approved will provide substantial funding into the system before needing to draw from the system. As a result, the immigration-driven population growth you point to actually helps support the system.
