And libertarian version re: Friedman was tied to tax. Basically simple no strings attached welfare program. $1000/mo. seems like arbitrary handout bullshit, and since no government programs ever die will probably just be heaped on all of the other redistributive bullshit.
libertarians invented the idea as a dignified replacement for welfare. left has adopted the idea as a new benefit *in addition to* all standing entitlements, in stated service of solving the invented problem of mass unemployment. in this context, idiotic.

Economists generally don't think mass unemployment due to automation is imminent. Obama and Trump's CEA chairs agree on this. https://twitter.com/bkavoussi/status/1102068547663134720 …https://twitter.com/bkavoussi/status/1108032786294886406 …

It’s a debate on the left whether UBI makes sense or not. The interesting thing to me is that the right isn’t capable of more than tribal platitudes, so it’s just the left working through these ideas today. https://www.intelligencesquaredus.org/debates/universal-basic-income-safety-net-future …

libertarians literally invented the concept and have been rigorously discussing UBI for decades. right's knee jerk "no" is equivalent to left's knee jerk "tax the rich." agree left is discussing ideas, but the notion they are thoughtfully discussing them is ludicrous.

Wait what, they want a free stuff and a bureaucracy to administer free stuff.

they want to delete the social welfare state. ubi was theoretically a way they could reduce bureaucracy and admin by like 99 percent, obliterate paternalism / government cheese, AND give every person in the country a regular check.

Where are you seeing that libertarians invented UBI?

UBI is not a good idea, beacause we have to do much better than that as a society. The politician has to reorganise their thinking acc to human race single point of failure mission, and use resources towards new goals, and dreams. People has to be leaded and given hope and Jobs
