The alternatives to UBI are either no welfare, which creates many problems, or what we have now, means tested welfare.
Surely it's more infantilising that instead of an allowance you have the government provide some of your food and housing while checking up on you to make sure you are not cheating.
- nemo44x 6y agoWell I think the main idea behind welfare and EBT is that it isn’t supposed to be a lifestyle. It’s supposed to be something that helps a person during tough times until they can become independent. I do agree that UBI simplifies the entire thing. I’m just suspicious of the potential consequences.
