Hey, that's angle I've never thought about before.
We support children for years and all we expect them to do is go to school. While a lot of kids could decide to just not work and be taken care of by their family, the vast majority want to work anyway, if only for the fact they want to move out and build their own family.
This may be the key. UBI + Making people go through further education so that they can have the foundation of knowledge and skills to be able to work. Right now, we have a lot of people who go through years of school and in the end it amounts to nothing because no one will give them a real job unless they had the money and a stable environment that allowed them to go to fancy universities instead of being forced to work to provide for themselves. This is a 3 angle attack. UBI + education/training + lowering the barrier for people being able to get a job. With UBI, you will have substantially less people desperate to get any job, so the supply of workers is no longer so high that companies can afford to be picky, because people will be able to tell those companies to go fuck themselves.
- wyre 6y agoUBI+further education sounds like a great idea. After graduating people won't be stressed about finding a job to help pay for their mounds of student loan debt and will have the knowledge to work on projects that they find meaningful.
- mydongle 6y agoThat's right. People hear about UBI and lament how people are going to become lazy and quit working, but they don't ask themselves why some people would stop working. They don't think that maybe some jobs are not worth doing unless you are at the threat of poverty and homelessness from not working. We need to reevaluate if we want to continue this horrible system where a class of people are denigrated to working slave tier jobs with poor wages and working conditions so that the classes above them can enjoy their first world lives.
