It's not true UBI either, it's a "guaranteed minimum income" of about the equivalent of $1000 for households, $500 for individuals, specifically for the "poorest".
Personally I favor a UBI but I think it needs an intellectual basis, i.e. I am not for "stealing from the rich". Perhaps part of this intellectual basis could consist of an appreciation that natural resources are not distributed equally.
- gerbal 6y agoWealth is not distributed equally either, those with a lot of resources find it much easier to maintain and gain wealth. Wealth provides a shield against consequences and accidents.
- eru 6y agoWhy does anything need an intellectual basis? Don't we have democracy so that 'popularity' is basis of policy?
