The salary cut is also problematic. If you create a maximum wage that is too low you'd have employers competing for a smaller pool workers without any way to incentivize them. I suspect a great many jobs would simply become impossible

I suspect basic income would lead to an increase in inflation in the current environment. Wouldn't many people continue to work having received their stipend in order to obtain a higher standard of living than previously possible? (I k

This is a question I've asked many times and never got an answer, when you donate "for the cure" does that cure end up patented and sold back to you? That seems more like Kickstarter without the rewards than charity to me.

I wouldn't claim 7% is non-existent. I think we tell children that college is the only path to wealth and thus many whom never had the opportunity to receive any college believe that they can't achieve anything but a poverty level

Do you disagree that subsidized loans would increase demand, or do you disagree that increased demand would raise prices?

One data point here. I never have an issue opening documents created in Word via LibreOffice Writer and then sending them back. I often do this while looking for jobs.

That's less than $800 US isn't it? To compare a year of school here probably averages 10K USD a year or 668,325 INR.

I think it depends on the trade. I'm in the process of leaving a IT job that forces you to take a unpaid "lunch" but expects you to be available to them during that time. Its a way to cheat and fill the schedule in some cases

Obfsproxy can get around the great firewall of China's DPI. I assume it would work for this use case. I imagine this would work in the same manner as long distance cards back in the day. The VPN provider would buy "fast lane"
