If social security is inevitable then yes as it's cheaper in costs due to less administrative work. Though the downside is that drug addicts and the like will have access to it

Eg if a living wage is £22k a year

It would be a good idea, if not for the fact that the left will ruin it, make it way too high, and destroy the incentive to find work and actually put value to the currency of UBI

then the UBI should be £5K a year

meaning peeps still need to work

but its a way to make them value hte government

eg in their minds its free money

UBI would only be realistic in a hyper-automated society where robots do most of the work

But the economy would have to be surplus based

A right winger reforming social security to give everyone enough to live on would be a fine idea, better than the welfare state as it currently exists now, but it just won't be handled well

and not debt based as it is today

eg

in a debt based economy

all money must be sppent

but in a surplus based

any excess money is stored

for times of need

nothing can be free, it just doesn't work

Oxygen is free

@K3

Life isn't risky enough to justify that amount of money, it works in Alaska because of how risky life is but it wouldn't work as a whole in America

food can very easily be free

oxygen would be hard to sell since their is so much of it

then the farmers go broke @Flare

then the pesticide companies go broke @Flare

Which scenario is that in reference to

@Doctor Anon

then the research compaines go broke @Flare

then the manufacring of chemical factories go broke @Flare

free food

Oh

lol

You dont understand do you

its like the food chain

Food in the modern world can very easily be free

if one part fails

the entire the collapses

like you could literally walk out of modern society

and live for free

how do you pay farmers?

youd basically go back to a hunter gatherer society
