    People will still work. UBI is enough that you’re not on the street, not enough that you’re living the high life.

    Some people will go to school instead of working, and that’s good. They’ll get even better jobs than they would have otherwise, and give back way more to society in productivity and taxes.

    Some people might be fine living the basic life that UBI affords, and who cares. Let them live their basic life. We can afford it.

        You criticize but offer nothing of value except “no, you’re stupid”

        Man I’m glad you’re not making decisions.

        Imagine supporting ideas and policies that help others which in turn helps you. Would be so crazy .

              Well when the store loses its workers, itll close. When the trucker stops trucking, food won’t make it to the store. When the farmer doesn’t farm, there will be no food.

              This is not star trek, we are not post scarcity.

                    Lmao you have zero idea how humans work. If you think it’s even plausible for all of society to sit and do nothing, you have no business being in this conversation - its clearly above your level.

                    People are motivated by boredom, creativity, duty and care for society, more than they are by money. This is evidenced by… all of history. People worked before money was invented. Crazy, huh?
