I am employed and making more than 100K and still I am not doing anything productive for society. So even if I quit given UBI and become "unproductive" it will have no meaningful impact on anything.
- ams6110 8y agoYou're presumably doing something productive for somebody who's willing to pay you $100K for it. Or do you work for the government?
- perfunctory 8y agoIt's complicated but in general if somebody is willing (or has to) to pay you it's not per se productive. In a society where everyone's basic needs are guaranteed to be covered we both would have made different choices.
