Yep, another reason any welfare should be replaced with a UBI which isn't dependent on any circumstances.

- xboxnolifes 4y agoOr just a sublinear reduction in welfare compared to income.
- lend000 4y agoThat would be better, but I prefer the simpler solution. It also ensures there is no incentive to stop working.
- 8note 4y agoThat's unrealistic -- some people, by their circumstances, have a more expensive life. Eg. If you need a wheelchair, that's another set of maintenance, with needed changes to all kinds of your living infrastructure, custom vs what somebody without a wheelchair needs.
