UBI is try to solve the problem of people who can't work shouldn't be forced into hell because of their lack of skills.
And Isnt that what welfare is right now?
Not really.
UBI is that, but for everyone regardless of income
Okay, who gets welfare?
UBI should cover that right? Thats the point right?
No
Who gets welfare?
Okay, what Im given to understand.
UBI means everyone gets a fixed wage.
No.
Regardless of status.
Not correct.
Enlighten me please
Who gets welfare?
This isn't a trick question.
I mean like I said, I thought UBI was the welfare
Right but who gets welfare.
Because UBI is covering what welfare as it is traditionally known .
Everyone gets UBI
To do what UBI does as well?
No.
What is the purpose of welfare.
To allow people more leway to allow them to pursue other matters.
YOu have time to look for a job when you dont have to worry about going hungry
Until they're able to find a job, right?
But thats what UBI is supposed to be for? Allow people more leway to pursue less profitable avenues.
Would you agree that welfare is a means to sustain people while they look for work?
Well, immediately profitable ways.
I already said that yeah it is. But UBI is the same, and is applied uniformly
Okay, but if you're already working, you can't get welfare right.
Or you can't get it if you make over some amount of money.
There are people with jobs but still require food stamps
Well, just get to the point
Right but if they're working their benefits are reduced.
I am.
What is UBI, why does it replace welfare, and how does it help now
Or in the future.
The issue is that in the future, there will be a subset of the pop that is unable to get any jobs
Because the standard of intelligence required will be really high
