That’s not how UBI works. It’s not tied to quitting one’s job. Anyone working earns income from salary/wages in addition to their UBI. Unlike many existing entitlements, there is never a financial incentive to work less.
- eikenberry 3y agoThat's not what I was saying. I was saying that as UBI goes up in $$$ that more people will hit the point where they can live nicely on just the UBI, where they extra income from working is just not worth it due to the increasing taxes minimizing it's reward factor.
