Upvoted you back.
Discussing such things on HN must feel surreal if you're not the median HN reader (educated, white, entitled westerner with 1st world problems).
Talking about what the "poor" would do if this and that, based on your own "hunches", worldview and ambitions.
Mass social experiments designed by intellectuals from an ivory tower... uhh. Good luck to Switzerland though, they may be able to afford providing one much needed data point!
- omegant 13y agoI think that it is a Necessary idea, but the implementarion has to be dreaven by results or lack of them. It can not be a static system or it will certainly degrade and be abused, it has to be refocused on a regular basis to help the people that is in need in that moment, and not the ones that are are merely taking profit of it. A high educated and civic society like the Swiss, is more likely to make the best of it.
