Giving people cash unconditionally would be much better than requiring them to not have any job . The former encourages recipients to retain their jobs or even look for higher paying jobs, and handles corner cases better(single mom working two jobs ineligible for unemployment on losing one).
- david38 5y agoThere is an even better thing. If I give everyone $1k/m for free, I know a good percentage is going towards housing, food, and transportation. Why not just control those items more? Why give out cash when we know all the landlords will just up the rent accordingly? Better to have good housing construction policies, good food distribution policies, and transportation as well. Then we can give out credits to everyone.
