Dutch city of Utrecht to experiment with a universal, unconditional income
- tantalor 11y ago> Basic income is a universal, unconditional form of payment > place people on welfare on a living income If they only give to people already on welfare, then it's not universal.
- ZenoArrow 11y agoArguably that's a way of introducing it gradually to not cause society to collapse overnight. If it's still available to everyone in Utrecht that chooses to quit their job and pursue something closer to what they'd ideally like to do (assuming that they're not doing what they want to do), then it can still be a worthwhile experiment.
