People often are already able to do that but don't, because surprisingly to some, most people find the idea of leaving everything and everyone you know just to find a better job absolutely dreadful.
We need to remember that we're talking about humans, and not some particle which can simply find a shorter path to wealth.
Edit: To be clear I'm not necessarily opposed to UBI, but I find this 'people are but cogs in the machine' view of economics especially appalling.
- zizee 7y ago> I find this 'people are but cogs in the machine' view of economics especially appalling I resent your implication that I think people are just cogs in a economic machine. People move location all the time for a variety of reasons. Sometimes economic, sometimes for lifestyle, sometimes for the weather. I suggested UBI would give people more options, more choice, more power in their lives and you suggest I hold an appalling view and think people are nothing more than wealth seeking particles? Thanks very much.
- c0nducktr 7y agoI wasn't trying to say you specifically feel that way, but when we're talking about predatory behavior of landlords, giving those who are being taken advantage of the ability to leave town seems like a second rate solution.
