An objection I seldom see but I think is important to consider:
wouldn't it take us that much closer to "bread and circuses" i.e. that the State can even more easily buy (quite literally) favours from a subdued population. In a way we are already there, but UBI would really short-circuit the loop.
- loudmax 2y agoThis is among the most frequent objections to UBI that I see. This is a legitimate concern, but we shouldn't blow it out of proportion. Just because there's a danger in pursuing a policy to it's logical extreme doesn't mean society shouldn't practice it in moderation.
