Another way to look at it: For a low-wage earner today, the choice is: * Don't work, get $300/week * Work, get $400/week Depending upon circumstances, many find the former option better. But UBI is proposing an option like th

This is only a fundamental problem if UBI is so high there is no incentive to work whatsoever. Every UBI proposal I've seen puts the income level at, or some small fraction above, the poverty line. The majority of adults (currently) ea

When you only raise it for a minority of a populace. While UBI is "universal" it gets clawed back via taxes for majority of populace. So prices really only raise for the products/services that are dominated by the marginal la

The point is more that the fitness occurs on a net-basis. The more-fit traits outweigh the unfit traits. It is equally possible that humans as a species or sub-groups of humans are fit _despite_ irrationality as opposed to irrationality be

Japan has had much lower inflation rates than India over the past few decades. Famously Japan has had close to 0 inflation. It seems like the real reason for this firm's success though, is removing multiple layers of contractors. Just

Americans have an odd view of the UK that merges both historical periods and regions. We are just likely to consider something we read in a Jane Austin novel British (which it might indeed have been ... 1-200 years ago!) as more recent medi

One of the things I like about going to my local agricultural supply store is that they don't seem to have the need for retail packaging. There are large boxes and creates (clearly labeled most the time) that contain each item. No need

It is the opposite. Forwarding (can sometimes) break DKIM. If you are reliant on DKIM (such as blocking messages with DMARC) then you need to account for the impact of forwarding. This has been a big problem with mailing lists, since they g
