Good for businesses 😉
Depends on how it is implemented, Weez
Alaska, being a high latitude place, has a natural higher rate of alcohol abuse
That I didn't know.
I don't think you're going to see it work unless it replaces all welfare, tax credits, state pensions, and tax-free allowances
Hmm true.
Which likely won't happen
Yeah lets implement UBI in the UK that's a good plan
I want to see that county go to shit anyway
So the people stop cucking around
500 pounds per month for 60 million people would cost £360,000,000,000
Nice
360 Billion
A lot more than we currently spend tbh
Bear in mind you'd also be scrapping the tax-free tax allowances, Weez
True
Damn look at this
Either way, 360bn + scrapping the tax-free allowance, plus the saving of costs, you're close to the 290bn current expenditure
A smaller scale test is required then kek
To see how it impacts economic growth
would expect it to
To what scale is what I'm interested in tbh.
can't see it changing much
If it's a large scale, then there's nothing wrong with borrowing some of the money to fund UBI
There'd be an even greater incentive to do it
fair enough
Just roll up to the world bank and be like "Yeah, going to need 60 billion per year for the next decade"
I was always playing on it being cost-neutral, or modest cost to the taxpayer
You would expect it to get to that point eventually
Could always just increase taxes tbh
And fund it
Ideally you want to keep taxes as low as possible though.
voulí?
More like bully
nice
Taxation is theft
