Quote:A universal basic income does not prohibit a person from selling their labor for a price they agree upon.It prevents any resistance based upon the need for a "livable wage" from any given thing. If we're all paid a universal basic, maybe A McJob is only worth a penny an hour (the rare example that I would agree with regardless). Before you get pissy...it's not like the McEmployee needs the money, he gets a universal basic.
Quote: The ex-con can underbid the non-excon and actually have a shot at landing a job.LOL< yeah, sure. We're going to stop squinting at excons sideways because you've decided to subsidize their life choices.
Describe for me the difference between a minimum wage and a universal basic income? Take your time....think it through.......
