  1. NathansHVAC You want that one person owns every machine and everyone else starves? That's the alternative

  2. Um... it means you don't get paid and starve. You like losing your job? And even if you'd get an UBI then... You'd have nothing to do. No purpose.

  3. Nononono no incentives That wouldn't be an UBI anymore. Paying people who go to HS/uni more? If it's not worth the money you'd get after you aquired the education, nor the education for you per se, you shouldn't go. School would finally have to change. Paying people more who care about the environment and work in the community? Great! But that's not something the UBI should do. If there's no worth in these things (economically)/if we don't pay for it already, an UBI shouldn't (even though there's worth that should be valued). And what will we pay people who never got an higher school education, but worked for 10 years and lose their jobs now? The same as the one graduating from HS? gg The UBI would connect us a society. It'd show the trust in humans that they'd still do something valuable even though they could watch TV 24/7. Btw, the only alternative to the UBI or a kind of, is that 1% of the population own all the machines and the others starve. Capitalists' showdown
