I find it an insightful comparison. Probably the closest to UBI today. How do we know receiving UBI will not be stigmatized? It can also vary from place to place (it is cultural). At least in one country I know unemployment is 60% of your previous salary. This could be enough to survive or to live a very comfortable life, depending on your income. I agree with you, though, with unemployment benefits being conditional on finding a job, plus the limited time they can be provided in full.

> How do we know receiving UBI will not be stigmatized? UBI is given to everyone, but I suppose it's true that those that live on UBI without also working might be made to feel marginalised. > At least in one country I know unemployment is 60% of your previous salary. This could be enough to survive or to live a very comfortable life, depending on your income. I'm in the UK, and have no experience of or knowledge of systems like this, but on the face of it, it sounds pretty good.
