It seems as though the majority of this forum are capitqalism worhsippers, ceo worshippers, blame the poor for making stupid decisions.
Not true (at least for myself).
Let me clue you guys in, there is a lot of luck involved with how our lives turnout and for people born in the 3rd world country working in factory jobs work harder than all the CEOs. No one is self made, we all rely on each other in this society.
You always have a choice, sort of free will. It you don't want to be poor forever, then by all means do whats necessary for you. I was born in a 3rd country as well, but my parents chooses wants best for us. Luckily they know the value of education that's why we've get up with the stereotype of being 'poor'.
Universal basic income doesn't make people lazy, it actually gives people more opportunities to excel and crime rates would plummet. UBI is actually owed to the citizens because all land has become privately owned and resources extracted, its just a dividend to every human on this planet which we share.
Well take that opportunity so that you can also get out from the shackles of capitalism.
I've looked at the data, uncoditional UBI makes complete economic and social sense. A lot of jobs are "bullshit jobs" anyways which serve no real purpose. Most of the jobs are becoming automated anywyas so UBI is absolutely necessary or there will be mass revolution.
If you really wanted to learn more about UBi then I suggest you read this link: (
