Your proposals sound to me like someone going to a casino with a surefire winning strategy assuming they have more money than the house.
Please explain (or cite a source that does) how you roll out a basic income in a way that doesn't create new schemes that leave more money on the table to be hoovered up by the oligarchic corporations. I strongly biased to believe that if you add resources arbitrarily to a human society, then a segment of the population will, will, find a way to capture them.
- joe_the_user 8y agoI am not even a proponent of basic income. The point is that in policy today, "everyone's needs will be met" isn't an automatically a winning argument.
- jacobush 8y agoOff topic, but as long as I trust the state, I trust basic income. I put different amount of faith in different states, but not very much in any state. Not in the long run. The problem is, the state is going to dictate more and more conditions for receiving that income. Couple it with oligarchic interests and no good can come of it. Problem is, I don't see much good coming from our current systems either, subverted as we speak.
