Your BATNAA of working vs. not working goes from $0 to $1000 for not working, so the employer likely has to pay you more than $1000 (to make your total income above $2000) to motivate you to work.
I oppose UBI but your arguments are poor refutation.
- Simulacra 6y agoSo wait...you're saying I can get money by simply not working?! Amazing! Sign me up. All the while what happens to prices and costs? Do they stagnate just because I'm not working and getting free money? No. They are going to increase and maximize the price curve, which means I'm not getting $1000 to not work, I'm getting $1000 to give to other people to not work and be left with essentially zero. UBI is theoretical and depends a lot on good will and everyone being treated fairly and equal. When has that EVER happened?
- tomp 6y agoI agree which is why I don’t support UBI. But these are better arguments than what was presented in the original comment I was replying to.
