Society pays for those who won't work? Nice promo material!

  We pay for them in some way or the other... they either are on public assistance or end up in jail. We pay either way.

    You have a preference?
    • cortesoft 7y ago
      I prefer a basic income.

        Pay criminals not to work? Somehow I don't think this is good PR... I don't disagree, but I don't know know if this is how the case needs to be made...

    No, UBI is paying for people who already work and receive nothing. We’re not “paying either way”.

  Probably better that society pays them to sit on the couch at home than that we force them to pollute workplaces that would otherwise get more and higher quality work done.
