Swiss just rejected it
We could try it here
It worked well in Canada and Finland in homogenous towns
No
It didn’t show long term effects
This is what we should all strive for, if you arent for this you arent a real american
A movie is what we should base our society on!!!!

That’s like totally realistic!!
UBI also doesn't encourage people to stay poor in the same manner as welfare but it does open up the can of worms of refusing to be employed and living in a barrel
Watch the damn video
I am
I’m serious
What do I do when I see a video that says the exact opposite?
watch it
It wouldn't be 10k a year, maybe 5k
I don't think UBI is a good choice in the USA
or anywhere with an immigration policy that's lenient to any degree
Yea, Americans are too lazy & would take advantage of it
Because they already have generational restrictions
For instance if you're a 1st gen immigrant, you can't vote, or get welfare
1.25 trillion is less than social security
and welfare
Yeah
But all those programs are bad
I agree
As well as UBI
How
They are necessary
Whats a good jewlution?
*solution
UBI of 10,000$ per year (still below poverty line) would cost 2.6 trillion $ per year. Meaning that confiscating __all__ the wealth of those worth over 1 million dollars would find the program for 5 months. Meaning that after a very small threshold, you would only be getting your money back or losing it. It would cause the rich to not be able to create jobs for the poor and consumer products for the middle class. In addition, it would be extremely dangerous during an election period as a candidate could just run and promise to make it higher to get more votes.
My main fear is that UBI would basically go into effect, the stupid poor would waste it all, and cry for another rent/food subsidy scheme, and then we're stuck with an even more expensive system.
I am not, I love post irony
Which I think is very likely in the USA/UK/Germany (soon)
Denmark if given an extremely strict immigration policy that restricted 1st gen migrants and even 2nd gen, would work alright with UBI
Waste it all on what? the newest iphone?
