1k and 100% freetime, vs half the time, and anything below 3k for example

2018-07-26 17:16:34 UTC  

You're getting 1k a month reguardless of what you do.

2018-07-26 17:16:56 UTC  

Because who is going to work full time for a job that is only a few degrees more valuable than doing fuck all?

2018-07-26 17:17:05 UTC  

Also when does UBI kick in?

2018-07-26 17:17:11 UTC  

UBI is universal

2018-07-26 17:17:13 UTC  

All of the time.

2018-07-26 17:17:26 UTC  

Regardless of your situation, at the very least it will provide for the basics

2018-07-26 17:17:48 UTC  

Next, there are some services that are not consistent. Living quarter rent for example.

2018-07-26 17:18:07 UTC  

Doesn't that exacerbate the fundie Mormon scenario?

2018-07-26 17:18:09 UTC  

Can society expect to provide say, the same accomodation to everyone at that level of it.

2018-07-26 17:18:27 UTC  

Lets say your disabled, and you're getting 1,200 a month, you're starting to feel better but you still need help. would you be willing to risk your 1,200 a month?

2018-07-26 17:18:49 UTC  

Youd still get 1.2k though right?

2018-07-26 17:18:58 UTC  

No if you start working you lose it.

2018-07-26 17:19:07 UTC  

BUt isnt UBI always on?

2018-07-26 17:19:39 UTC  

Ah, but here's the thing you could switch to UBI from disablity, and get the 1,000 and a part time job.

2018-07-26 17:19:54 UTC  

But would that still make it UBI>

2018-07-26 17:20:17 UTC  

But the UBI wouldn't go away disability can be taken away.

2018-07-26 17:21:33 UTC  

Well heres the issue I have with a pure meritocratic society

2018-07-26 17:21:48 UTC  

That would mean that theres always a group of "absoulute zeroes"

2018-07-26 17:21:54 UTC  

Yes.

2018-07-26 17:21:59 UTC  

So theres charity. Or welfare.

2018-07-26 17:22:08 UTC  

Correct.

2018-07-26 17:22:11 UTC  

And the use of either is heavily dependent on culture.

2018-07-26 17:22:22 UTC  

Sorry, the reliability of either

2018-07-26 17:22:34 UTC  

okayy

2018-07-26 17:23:05 UTC  

Well how I see welfare is "We cant trust society to take care of its weakest so we do it for you"

2018-07-26 17:23:12 UTC  

Enforced charity.

2018-07-26 17:23:24 UTC  

THat is not to say that it is wrong.

2018-07-26 17:23:40 UTC  

As everyone has different standards as to who needs help

2018-07-26 17:24:02 UTC  

UBI can cover everyone. But there will always be people who will need alot more than UBI provides to live.

2018-07-26 17:24:32 UTC  

Yes.

2018-07-26 17:25:06 UTC  

Welfare programs would still exist to help those that need more.

2018-07-26 17:25:13 UTC  

And well, I can go on, I have spent alot of time thinking. And I am generally very much against any idea of govt controll.

2018-07-26 17:25:43 UTC  

So stuff like charity vs welfare, govt vs private.

2018-07-26 17:25:48 UTC  

It's not government control.

2018-07-26 17:26:03 UTC  

Well, dependence on the govt then

2018-07-26 17:26:17 UTC  

It would be money given by the government but with no restrictions on it.

2018-07-26 17:26:24 UTC  

Okay.

2018-07-26 17:26:42 UTC  

okay where were we

2018-07-26 17:26:49 UTC  

It's still government control at the end of the day

2018-07-26 17:26:55 UTC  

The money comes from somewhere
