    some good points Alan but for me main problem is UBI will be used by employers to justify wage cuts and will disincentivize workers.https://twitter.com/AlanKohler/status/837781970172026880 …

        would rather have a few bludgers not working than a single mother on the street because she can't make rent

        Yes but that's already happening through technology. Most companies are trying to replace workers now.

        Employers can get an excellent & sympathetic media run with any old crap... like cafes opening on Sunday for charity of staff

        UBI needs to be tied to a broader idea of work and social contribution to stop it becoming mere wage-loss substitution

        we need to ensure ALL welfare is properly targeted and is sufficient for daily needs. Govt should provide more public housing

        if people are disincentivised to work, wouldn't that mean employers would have to attract them more?
