HERE COMES THE MONEY
Yang wants to pay people to make Memes <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
That's simply known as Universal basic Income, and was tried in Finland on a national level as a social experiment
The results of which are still inconclusive
How'd it go?
Ook ok
It only recently ended
They did conclude that experiment as a failure irr
Though it is true that the unemployment rate did not fall much, the people in the treatment group were reported to feel less stressed, depressed and made people generally happier.
So on one hand one goal people's wellbeing increased, however unemployment remained pretty much the same.
As to why the people in the treatment group had no differing results in regards to job prospects is still being studied
So you are punishing those that contribute?
It's a welfare state, which means that people agree to pay a little extra if it means people enjoying public assistance/services
The problem comes when no one wants to contribute as you can get the same pay just simply because you refuse to work
Well that was one of the premises of the experiment, just give money to people, even if they weren't pursuing a job. The only requirement to be randomly selected was that you were unemployed
So I pay taxes to pay myself $1000 and someone that doesn't work $1000
sounds great!
Can I pick who my second $1000 goes to?
Well, I don't know much about Andrew Yang's project, but from what I do know of Finlands Universal Basic Income project is that it was limited to €560 a month. So as far as income is concerned, it really is basic. Furthermore the treatment group consisted of only 2000 people from a larger pool of unemployed people.
wouldn't UBI just make everyone black
It makes everyone a single mother
Expecting society to raise her spawn cus she can't close her legs 😄
