It's a bit disingenuous to conflate working less or part-time with universal basic income.
The first can be done by choice for some people, and doesn't always imply government subsidy. Also why pick 4 days as being closer to UBI, when you could make the same argument about 5 days vs 6.
- khazhoux 4y agoI don't think it's disingenuous at all. They both have in common the fairly-recent idea that it's time to work less: whether a shorter week for the same pay, or in the case of UBI you get money for no work at all. These two are not the same, but they're in the same space of recent re-examinations of the relationship between work and money.
