==We NEED low skilled labor. Bioshock proved this years ago. ==
Would we stop importing this labor from other (poorer) countries? I imagine only people with a SSN would get the UBI benefits. Immigrants would still come here to do low-skilled jobs as they would be ineligible for UBI, no?
- b_tterc_p 8y agoA very large proportion of low skill labor is done by us citizens- and we don’t have many visas for low skilled labor. This wouldn’t evade the problem of increasing the cost of low skill labor and thus increasing the cost of goods. To your point, it would force the poor without UBI into even harder poverty.
