MinmiTheDino“If you give ppl UBI, everyone’s just going to be making pots or painting or something!”
Good!! Good! Can’t express how much more I want to fill my home with pots and paintings than with a stovetop that inexplicably connects to the internet.
Flux@minmi I'm more concerned that landlords will just jack up rent to eat the UBI now they know you at least have that.
@Umbreon this is my main concern too. But seems like a tractable problem, especially given all the problems we face with our current system. But the concern of like “then no one will do any useful work!” Is just so dang hollow to me.
@minmi Agreed, I would also argue people might better able to find better work if their not dealing with welfare offices and often ridiculous amount of time wasted dealing with them and proving eligibility so that you don't starve while looking for another job.
I'm just worried about the inflationary and cost aspect but other than that.
