Are you in support of UBI?
Hello, I'm not that informed about UBI, but here is my arguement:
Everyone gets some sort of income, but wouldn't companies just subside the income by raising their prices? Also, do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?
You're viewing a single thread.
UBI is a great system, but I would want it heavily regulated. Because you just know and it's the truth, that a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it. This is a system that should be for those who're actually struggling.
And I say this because I've heard stories and seen it first hand, of people lying on documents and forms to get benefits that they don't deserve. You cannot introduce and incorporate UBI with the mindset that nothing can go wrong - because it could, if it's unchecked.
I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.

And they'd be entitled to just that. That's the point: nobody being forced to work just to survive. You don't understand the concept.
Yes I do, what you don't understand, is the society we're in.
What about society exactly do I not understand?
"Universal" means that it's unconditional. As I understand it, by design of the concept, everybody should receive it.
That's pretty entitled.
real entitlement is trying to coopt and then redefine the entire meaning of a concept (you)
