If the point is to ensure everyone has a basic income even between jobs, but that nearly everyone will continue to work, and the purpose is to provide a safety net for the unemployed- think a minute before you reply- is it really that different from unemployment insurance?
- zhoujianfu 6y agoI disagree the purpose is that people will continue to work, but regardless, it’s a much improved unemployment insurance because it doesn’t go away when you do work, and so doesn’t disincentivize work.
- jpindar 6y agoIt's very different, because there are many reasons why UI can be delayed or denied - ask some of the people who are supposed to be receiving it now! - and in any case it only lasts for six months or so.
