Well it is Universal Basic Income, not National Basic Income. One of the fun discussions with UBI is seeing people discuss who should and shouldn't get it.
- jacquesm 7y agoAll UBI experiments that I'm aware of so far have been confined to a single country.
- SkyBelow 7y agoAll the ones I recall are extremely limited on a number of fronts. They limited to a small group of people, for a limited time, and generally the funds are quite limited. I personally don't think these even qualify as UBI because some of the proposed positives for UBI do not exist when it has such limits. For example, if you are only getting UBI for 2 years, you have to plan out for the rest of your life after those 2 years and can't make the same choices as if you were being given UBI for life.
- jacquesm 7y agoFully agreed. UBI simply has not yet been tried on a scale and over a span of time that it would qualify as a real trial.
