I still don't get this line of thinking. Most basic income levels are just above poverty level. And, so, if a web page is run by someone making a basic income and showing no ads, that person will only ever stay at that level. They would still need to show ads or something to make more money. They are already doing this.
I just don't see this as a valid argument for basic income. It is fodder for basic income opponents is what it is.
- Buetol 11y agoIf the basic income is at a comfortable level, then most people won't look to make more money, I think, but improve the things they have. And this is the whole debate I think, are people hungry for the money even with a comfortable income or with a sufficient income they are not gonna look to earn more ?
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoI don't agree with this at all. People will always want bigger TVs and fancier cars.
- Buetol 11y agoAnd this is the basic assumption that we disagree on.
