> It can not be too comfortable or everyone might decide not to work which will bring down the entire scheme. This is based on a Protestant Work Ethic kind of viewpoint that I think we need to get over. Work is fulfilling. Sitting at home on benefits sounds great but isn't. I know, I've done my share. It's fine for a few months, but then I always got to the point where I'd take any job just to get out of the house and do something. And even "sitting at home doing nothing" meant working on creative projects. In the UBI trials they've had so far, people didn't stop working. They do stop working two jobs to make ends meet, which is good.
