- mgoetzke 2y agoBasically all industry, all commerce pays dividends/taxes and those get distributed. People that use their money to invest (time or money) into good companies will profit more, people that use it for just consumption will remain low 'income'. When companies succeed as a whole (eg move to all solar,robots,ai) all 'shareholders' will benefit. one of those will be the UBI program

- muth02446 2y agoAren't there other oil-rich nations that essentially have UBI and could serve as a data point.
- ninalanyon 2y agoNot any that are in other important ways comparable. Kuwait has it I think.
