Scott SantensDid you know that #basicincome experiments have shown time and time again that given the choice, people don't choose idleness? They choose education. They choose entrepreneurship. They pursue culture and care. By guaranteeing survival, universal basic income enables truly living.

Most right-wingers (deliberately?) confuse UBI with welfare: in many countries you will lose money if you take on a lowpaid job if you are on welfare. Your gross income is roughly the same, but working costs money (childcare, transport, etc).
Those people are stuck in the poverty-trap and make the very rational decision to avoid paid work.
UBI massively cuts down on poverty-trap issues: working a few hours doesn't get you kicked out of welfare.
