I've never seen this argument for a basic income, but it's a super interesting one to think about.

That sounds very similar to a basic income (which I whole heartedly support)

Well that’s the argument for Universal Basic Income in a nutshell.

ArkyBeagle | karma 2222 | avg karma 0.89 · | 2016-03-02 08:15:52+00:00

A basic income sounds to my ear like an expansion of Social Security, at least conceptually.

So universal basic income?

Funny to me it sounds like an argument for Basic Income.

gdubs | karma 9763 | avg karma 4.6 · | 2020-03-05 22:26:52+00:00

Universal basic income would be an acceptable approach imho.
