Right! I keep saying, that at least we have to kickoff the process. Not even the legislative process, but convincing the public that we'll need it eventually (alternatively a whole different system worldwide, but that will be even harder). Will take a long time anyway.
- bsenftner 3y agoBeware of UBI, simply from the perspective there is no way our puritanical members of society will allow it, and if it does get enacted will have negative ramifications rendering it more of an economic one way trap than a safety net. We're simply to easy to other others, and when those budgeting the entire economy look at the UBI population, their funding will be cut just like they cut education and social services today. I'm afraid of UBI, because I don't trust it's enactment to be fair, honest or worth accepting.
- lagrange77 3y agoNever thought about it this way. Your fears sound realistic.
- eastbound 3y agoFrance has UBI (“RSA”).
