RE: Ethics and Morality of Basic Income.
A very interesting and controversial post I personally don't think everything should be handed out on a plate! You need to work and help yourself sometimes and if you can't then yes society and the government should help you get back on your feet. Just giving without a set plan or loop holes will create households full of people taking from the big magic money pot and giving nothing back to help those in a more serious predicament than themselves, but do nothing about it because they're getting paid to do not a right lot 😂
Thank you for the post!
I think this is a pretty dim view of people. Honestly, I think this sort of view likely reflects more on the person holding it than those they are projecting it on. UBI (and psychological) experiments show that this isn't actually reflected by reality. To think that most people have no goals or wants or desires and would just choose to sit around and vege out, is pretty ridiculous. Would you? Seriously?
I'm not sure I suppose I am still pretty young with plenty of life experience still to have, so I suppose I'll have to get back to you on that one
