Dr. SobekWhile I'm getting pretty convince UBI is the right, humane, thing to do, and that each time it has been implemented at a local scale, it had significant benefits, I wonder about how to actually implement this at a country scale, (e.g. at the scale of France, my home country).
Anyone know what typically would be the criteria to be eligible to UBI ?
It is obvious all fiscally-resident citizen, living in the country should be eligible, but where is the line drawn for other cases ?
(What about minors ?)
What impact should there be on minimum wages, and taxation ?
(With a progressive income taxation, unchanged, higher bracket would see a larger fraction of the UBI go back in taxes, but never 100%, so the UBI would require increasing state income)
And also, what measures had to be taken to manage to rent inflation in reaction to the income rise ? And more generally inflation ?
