A great alternative is to tax corporates on the increased productivity that they achieved through layoffs and then distribute the proceeds as UBI to the affected.
- s1artibartfast 2y ago"Ubi to the affected" is a contradiction of terms
- la64710 2y agoNo need to nickpick or downvote. It’s the spirit that matters.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoIt bothers me that UBI is conflated with social support and welfare. The term carries a bunch of connotation and implications which are material to the sprit of the statement.
- la64710 2y agoWell call what you may but UBI will be as necessary as oxygen is to life . Specially when most of white and even blue collared jobs will be automated. Without UBI most people will not be able to survive , forget about thriving.
- medvezhenok 2y agoThe "Jobs Bank" described above is exactly equivalent to what you're proposing (which is not UBI because it's not universal, by the way).
