        If there's 1/2 as many jobs, with basic income we can all work 1/2 as much. 40 hours isn't written in stone. https://medium.com/basic-income/cutting-the-gordian-knot-of-technological-unemployment-with-unconditional-basic-income-e8df7f8eaa16 …pic.twitter.com/sMrofqKeCK

        I also think an opinion on UBI should be informed by evidence. The evidence points toward increased social cohesion.https://medium.com/basic-income/universal-basic-income-will-likely-increase-social-cohesion-aceb337262e0 …

        Also, can you cite stats to back up this generalization: "young unemployed men are perfectly content to stay at home playing videogames."

        Agreed. Chacun son goût. Still don't see it being most people's top choice.

        Bannon had already suggested the vote should be restricted to "property owners". What's next, massa?

        This article completely overlooks effect of replacing current welfare, which hugely disincentivizes work, with a *basic* income that doesn't

        Using Saudi Arabia as an eg of a national basic income is lame. But it pleases the 1%.

        willfully ignorant tripe! One of the basic tenets of universal basic income is you don't give up your basic income when you go to work!

        We're being told only the rich have time and options which money gives. No basic income for the minions.

        Taking away universal sufferage: a totally real thing UBI advocates are advocating.

        This is nonsense. Why would anyone stop working if they got free money? I know I would be free to do meaningful work.
