And this is exactly what I fear will happen if UBI comes about. Although we also can’t let people starve - I don’t have a solution :(

- gremlinsinc 5y agoCapitalism will re-adjust. With UBI, less people need to work, many sitll will... Also, with UBI if I take a job, I still GET the UBI, with Unemployment that isn't the case....so it's a do or die, do I take the job and risk losing this, what if I get fired next month and can't get back on UI?.... More people will be able to find companies/niches to grow between the cracks, but a lot of existing businesses will need to raise prices, raise wages, and find other ways to compete.... but this would actually be a boon for capitalism because more people also have a ton of money to spend --assuming you can pay people enough to want to work for you.
