its jsut a name lol
i mean
to be fair
they are as really progressive as progressives (in that they are regressive)
"The 29-year-old previously worked three jobs to pay her bills in Hamilton, Ont. Basic income allowed her to focus on her full-time work at a non-profit"
Did it end because it didn't work?
UBI turning out to not work, color me shocked
Makes you think
🤔
nah, its impossible to do in a free society
both socially and mathematically
only time UBI can work, is when society is so advanced, UBI isn't needed anymore cuz we have star trek level technology to make things out of thin air
What is ubi
Universal Basic Income
basically those above articles plans
People get free money just cuz
Cuz society needs to prepare for when machines take over menial labor
Is that just paying everyone so that no one is below the poverty line?
I wish they gave more info on why it didnt work
Like both articles just say "yeah it wasnt working"
well in canada they have barely any info
they actually said they were keen to see teh results fo the 3 year study before
but then canned it
not just for poverty
When burger flippers / busdrivers / shop clerks are no longer needed,
and these people are generally not educated/smart enough to get higher level jobs
So they'll become unemployable
which is pretty gay
@KidKrakower Same. My thoughts too back when the Finnish result was reported on. And I dont speak Finnish so couldnt dig through their media for answers.
even if it wasnt gonna work id like to see exactly WHY and the results of those studies
Completely unrelated but I think this server needs a place to post music
shitposting
😂
XD yeah or a music channel
@JULZIFICATOR yeah exactly
A place _specifically_ for music
music snobs find other peoples music shit 😛 hence it fits?
shitposting
Whether it worked or not (I dont think it would at this point) I would like some research done on it
Especially if it becomes more popular of a concept in the future
There's actually a leftist argument against UBI.

I don't think ubi would work because giving everyone a bunch of money would just lower the money's value, and replacing the lowest level jobs with robots would just push the next lowest level into the new lowest level. You'd have to give people an infinite amount of money and automize all the jobs for it to work
Then money would be worthless and you'd basically turn into the people in Walle
That's assuming there's enough food for everyone
