Nope. Not saying anything of the sort. Your read is qualitative.
My comment was quantitative, strongly implied by the math. If I were going to make a qualitative statement, I would say life sucks for almost everyone on this godawful planet in different ways. You're trying to parse out a judgement of those relative conditions in me saying UBI might not be a universal solution to the hell-sphere theory of life on Earth. I don't know why.
- alex_smart 5y agoLike I said, my objection was based on the way you had phrased that last sentence in your comment. > It's probably not as important in places where it's still cheaper to hire humans than it is to install a robot in most cases. The reason universal basic income does not work in India is not because people here still have their $3/day jobs. It doesn't work because there is simply not enough wealth here to restribute, so the problem here is still one of creation of wealth.
