This is not a good solution. :(

The only solution is UBI.



sort by: page size:

Another solution is UBI.

So what problem does UBI solve, then?

UBI is honestly the only solution here.

UBI wouldn't solve this in the current US system, and it's already a solved problem in Europe.

UBI doesn’t solve this

That's OP's argument, I don't think UBI is a solution that makes things worse. That said, I'd like to know what the alternative could be, hence my line of questioning.

What do you suggest instead? Because without UBI or redistribution of profit when everything is automated, I don't see any other solution.

And UBI is the answer to that.

UBI is an absolutely terrible idea by the way. The problems you speak of would only get worse.

It's only good if we have a UBI

UBI ?

UBI?

The solution for that is UBI not minimum wage

Sadly UBI will probably work best when it's not U.

> UBI solves everything

?


Totally agree with this. Otherwise, I don't see UBI solving anything, but creating new problems.

Is there anything UBI doesn't solve.

Probably, UBI is the best first solution. In the sense that it acts as a collective bargaining system for all citizens who are forced to trade their time for income.

The Wikipedia reference OP provided suggests Universal Basic Income as the solution.

I believe the argument is that UBI could be conjured in to existence.
