Well, considering you didn’t have to pay rent for the last 15 months and you were getting $1200 more per month for not working it’s no wonder plenty of people decided to not work anymore.
UBI was tried the last year and I think it mainly failed.
- garbagecoder 5y agoWhat does increasing wages have to do with free money? Are you suggesting we should work for free? Earning money is entirely different. And I paid my mortgage every month. No break for us.
- nemo44x 5y agoJust arguing that many (not all) people aren’t choosing not to work because the pay isn’t good enough but rather that because they can’t be evicted while also receiving an additional $1200/month on top of various stimulus checks. So we should get rid of those things first before we make the argument wages need to be lifted to incentivize people to work.
