UBI originally means a payment which is given to everyone, unconditionally. nowadays, and also in this thread right here, it has gone on to instead refer to payments limited to a very specific group of people, potentially only to unemployed persons with a certain job background. UBI in this sense is actually not much different from the unemployment benefits in most of Europe: they provide a safety net in the event of failure, they are intended to allow existence, but not comfort.

All the really intriguing arguments in favor of a real UBI, like paying for itself by eliminating red tape, or allowing the population to tap into a higher percentage of its creative potential, would no longer apply if you just implement it as a bastardized version of unemployment benefits or structural change funds.

You would quit your job and drop out for $1000 a month?

You sound just like every other deadbeat out to get disability

Do you think all those guys and gals on disability are living good lives? Lol. That's laughable.

You would have loved the 1980's, and Ronald Reagan. You would have ate the Welfare Queen propaganda up with a spoon you gullible gullible man.

i love how people find ways to insult each other no matter what they are talking about
