Myth: Universal Basic Income is a magnet for the idle. In reality, it's the catalyst for unleashed potential. Visualize a world where your next meal isn't your next worry. That world is one giant leap closer to solving the puzzles of poverty and unleashing collective brilliance.

It's why "they" don't want us to have it. We'd form unions, leave jobs we didn't like and generally not put up with BS out of desperation.

If money and healthcare suddenly weren't a constant worry for me I'd be unstoppable

Then how're we supposed to treat ppl like slaves?

Things people don't talk about with UBI - it makes regulation easier because bad actors can't argue loss of livelihood. You can take away "x" without it being a death sentence. Bad business sink, so regulators can focus on people who are intentionally trying to enrich themselves by harming others.

I really hope I get to see that world!

I could make so many cool things if I was just allowed to build what I want instead of spending 12 hour shifts "building things" for a corporation (but really mostly waiting for parts) in order to have enough money for rent.

gotta combine it with rent and price control or the landlords will just raise prices

that last sentence is sadly exactly why those with means are so steadfastly against ever helping those without

Even if folks are idle, I would be perfectly fine with that. Work shouldn't be glorified as the sole purpose of our existence.

Isn’t poverty only a puzzle within the framework of free market capitalism?
