Dude...I mean this in the nicest way possible and only say it cause I think it's important for everyone to understand:
People work for money. If a job has no pay, you can't expect it to get done.
We need people to actually run hospitals, produce food, construct shelter/infrastructure, provide childcare/education, etc.
- prawn 2y agoWhat UBI proposals are you reading that do away with actual jobs? There would still be jobs for people doing those things you described.
- rank0 2y agoOkay…now that we agree that UBI won’t produce any meaningful labor. What benefit do we get out of the trillions of dollars of debt we’d be accumulating? It’s a classic economic blunder that dictatorships love to make: 1. Create money & rack up debt. 2. Produce nothing. 3. Create inflationary crisis and exacerbate wealth inequality. 4. Highlight your good intentions and relish your new position as champion of the people.
