Raising children is basically a full time job. Why not compensate it as such?

- abustamam 11mo agoI'd be on board with that. That was Andrew Yangs whole proposition with UBI. https://2020.yang2020.com/policies/the-freedom-dividend/ https://2020.yang2020.com/policies/the-freedom-dividend/ Sure it goes to everyone, but I think that's okay. Some parents would still choose to both work, and use their monthly check to pay for daycare. I think the important thing is freedom to choose.
- int_19h 11mo agoI do think we need to encourage raising children specifically, but if UBI is assigned regardless of age, then that effectively works out to the same thing - parents will just use those checks for childcare costs, and having more children would translate to more checks.
