Humans need not apply - the case for the universal basic income
#10
RE: Humans need not apply - the case for the universal basic income
The universal basic income is an interesting idea - especially as we are moving to an economy which cannot create enough jobs for everyone.

But...you state this:
What a universal basic income does is give people control over their lives


and that presumes that everyone is capable of controlling their own lives.

That's a major assumption that needs significant research.


What do you do with the ones who blow the whole thing on gambling or booze in a month?
