I wish more people who are worried about FOSS supply side attacks would realize that universal basic income and free healthcare would result in an almost infinite stream of excellent software from people who care more about quality than profit.

One comment I didn't see in the thread, which has some great comments by the way, is the assumption on the past of many, perhaps most people that UBI means that no one would work.

Which is ridiculous. People love to do and make things when they aren't getting paid. The problem is getting people to do shitty jobs. So, put down another benefit of UBI that there would less shitty jobs.

@MylesRyden

The shitty jobs still exist and still need to get done, even when there's #UBI. The difference is, with UBI people can say "No" to shitty jobs with poor pay. So to get the shitty jobs done they have to pay enough so people want to do them. UBI makes shitty jobs a bit less shitty.
