Would be interesting to see something similar and also fulfills the goals of meaningful work.
Perhaps with smaller companies this would work better and not conjure up ideas of digging and refilling holes on some soulless corporate farm.
Imagine a single-person company that sells homemade organic jam at a farmers market. As a one person doing everything, surely this person is overworked and couldn't possibly think of hiring someone until years later. What if this person was part of a program that allowed them to hire from a pool of candidates where the company pays a portion of the wage and the gov program subsidizes.
This person hiring really needs the help. The person being hired wants the job doing fulfilling work. The money assigned for the person through UBI is reassigned to this program.
Probably just a pipe dream, but could be similar to the incentives companies get for hiring ex-convicts, etc.
- VeronicaJJ123 9y agoIn libertarian perspective this is pretty simple. 1. Get rid of all occupational licensing. 2. Get rid of minimum wage. 3. Get rid of OSHA. This alone would help more and more people get employed. Remember 100% unskilled person from Mexico can cross the border illegally come to USA and over years can actually have good life but an American native born who goes to American public school is unable to gain any meaningful skill and can't live a decent life ? Clearly the illegal migrant has some pretty big advantage over the native born. I think it is essentially government regulations. Of course some people think minimum wage is a moral imperative, in that case you have to be ready to face the consequences of it too.
