Comingle is an interesting idea that would act as a pseudo emergency fund to provide a stable week to week income for their users. It could act to stabilize your income if you have an irregular income or as an backup plan or insurance for when you lose a job or income source. It works by distributing the average of all their members contributions weekly to each user. Once the service starts, the end result will be a net gain for those with low income and a payment to provide a guaranteed monthly income for higher earners.

  • For those with low income, any amount of extra money can aid in the pursuit of opportunity and keep things from turning desperate.
  • For freelancers and gig-workers, reliable weekly income can ease the complications of sporadic cash-flow.
  • For those with more income, Comingle lets you help others, sends you a little extra cash on slow weeks, and provides a safety-net if things take a turn for the worse.

      Investing some money in UBI experiments just makes them look good. What’s their enormous incentive to fully introduce it? It’s cheaper to commute by helicopter or relocate the headquarter. Homelessness is a problem for the middle class.

      I beleave that the middle class has to finance UBI on their own. This company already provides the basic infrastructure. If that’s not a good deal then the deal has to be improved.
