UBI is a dystopian nightmare it takes away the voice and power from the majority of the population.
I really don’t know why people are even considering this disaster.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoI don't understand this position that UBI takes away the voice and power from the population. How? I can understand that the situation where UBI exists may be one where the population loses power, but I fail to see how UBI itself removes the power.
- dogma1138 4y agoBecause once you are no longer a productive member of society you become irrelevant. Also as the burden of UBI on the “productive” members of society which at that point might be only the large corporations increases it would inevitably lead to either universal basic services or a two tiered monetary system.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoUBI doesn't prevent available productive work. It doesn't take jobs away. How does it force people to no longer be productive members of society?
- ben_w 4y agoPensioners are no longer productive (or at least, that's the goal), but are extremely relevant politically.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoPlease check the research on this - humans are more productive when they have their basic needs covered with safety nets
