    Read this story and then consider a job guarantee existed. Being determined fit to work, and being unable to work, do you think the result would have been any different? No. Now consider unconditional existed. Different outcome now isn't it?

    Btw, if you take issue with my usage of "wage slavery" to describe our existing labor market and at the same time you worry that unconditional basic income would mean too many people would stop working, you really need to connect those dots.

    "Rich people earned that money themselves…" *gags* Wage slavery has existed for so long that many people all over the world proudly wear their shackles, praise their masters, and look down instead of up when it comes to placing blame. is freedom. Start demanding it.

    Ah, global capitalism. Overheard (in US-accented English) on the Shanghai subway: “That universal basic income idea is so stupid. Rich people earned that money themselves, so they should decide how to spend it. Poor people don’t want to learn new skills, that’s why they’re poor.”

    If you’re not following you’re missing out on some serious cerebral dialogue. His in-depth UBI research has produced some fascinating, thought provoking material.

    Replying to @AlexHowlettUBI @canadayvibe and 5 others
    I agree. The floor we create should never stop rising. I'm hoping we can create a feedback loop where people are more and more okay with a higher UBI as it rises, and that we even begin to reconceptualize the concept of money itself, how and why we create it, and its purpose.
