Capitalism and its endless profit motive should never be near the things that have direct effect on people’s well-being and livelihood. All the human basic necessities should be capitalism free, housing, healthcare, education… etc… If you want to built a better and healthier nation of course, but no one cares about the nation, money is above everything to these sick fucks.
It’s social democracy. It’s a slight socialism under a capitalist umbrella where social services are untouched by capitalism. All of Europe operates this way.
I think we’re only recently getting to a level of technology that we need less human workforce and can still prosper when inevitably some choose not to work.
Thanks, I am in favor of UBI, but like anything else I think the cost of everything will just rise to eat it up. With various trials going on, we should have better data soon

I kind of agree, but has this ever been done successfully? It seems to me at some point you disincentivize work to the point it all collapses

Don’t have time to separate the wheat from the chaff today. But I understand if you don’t have any actual sources to back up your assertions.

So you say, and yet you still offer nothing.

It’s a fair question. The first universal basic income experiments have just begun in the last few years. Based on this article there’s been a little success at least.

But like, you bring up “human basic necessities” and soon the old arguments about Maslow’s Hierarchy rear their ugly head.
