UBI kind of delays that in a sense. UBI does not eliminate the disincentives to work that are inherent in welfare programs but it simply moves them around. This program must be financed after all, and any welfare system, including the UBI, is necessarily a wealth redistribution scheme. Wealth must be forced from those who have it to those who do not. This means that at some point on the income ladder, people must go from being net receivers of benefits to being net payers of benefits.
The progressive taxation that is necessary to finance a UBI means that the more a person earns, the higher percentage of their wealth will be taken from them. The work disincentives are therefore still very much present in the tax system. They’ve simply been transferred onto different, higher income groups of people.
Or they can get it by printing money, which will cause even bigger problems.
What UBI does is subsidies non-productive activities, which is not good.
studies show that 97% of people on UBI tests don't quit work and the 3% that do either go back to school or take care of their kids
which i think is interesting
@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ we're talking about like 100+ years into the future btw
when human labor becomes obsolete
o
I doubt human labor will become obsolete
lol
there will always be more jobs
and new types.
it may take few thousand years for that
you ever watch Wall-E
^
wrd
ye
you think that'll happen
doubt
i mean
the technological progress since 1800 is pretty insane
only 200 years
Yeah and new jobs have veen created
there will defo not be an obsoleteness of human labor
I mean physical labor will be eliminated
within 200 years
it really depends on what AI can eventually do
^
maybe
we'll see
yep
it's just fun speculation at this point
but hopefully we dont blow ourselves up before then
