Universal Basic Income has negative repercussions to emotional wealth of society

in #universal6 years ago (edited)

The proposed Universal Basic Income - a 'stipend' or 'livable wage' is proposed globally to uplift the millions living in poverty stricken circumstances.

Seeing no other way than to 'throw money' at the problem, the Universal Basic Income is great. It does mean there is, in fact, cash available whenever it's needed, generated at will, for whatever is felt is a 'good cause'.

It doesnt take a genius to work out the maths of how much money is needed to be generated daily to accommodate a 'living wage' for all.
That's quite something...

My question is: Where does this money come from?
Almost Every country in the world (maybe a few exceptions - I hope!) is in debt to someone, somewhere for something.
The maths is unquantifiable in the majority of minds.

So how does all this debt work and why can some countries be in bigger debt than others? Why are some countries sanctioned for their debts, their citizens thrown into further desperation?

I'm confused about how it all works on the inside. From the outside it works like this:

'Consumers can't live with poor people on their conscience anymore.'

So... create a way to make it look like 'we' really care [without doing too much] because once the globally poor have access to information and knowledge, control and manipulation are lost.

At this point the privileged are only just clinging onto the old greed-led economics, despite the distress they're all living in daily partaking in a snowballing arrogance and competitiveness of immoral material worship.

As they too are being prickled to be more understanding of the desperate needs of their neighbors.

UBI as an Emotional Downgrading of Humans

According to Wikipedia there are a number of notable advocates for this type of INcome for all.

I honestly believe, having seen and begun to deeply comprehend the emotional and mental mindset of being poor, that the Universal income downgrades us to being incapable of taking care of ourselves therefore reliant on the state to give us food.
I doubt that the long term effects will differ much from that of the United Kingdom's basic living standards which has created far too many disinterested youths becoming lazy adults, becoming a noose around the neck of the tax payer.

Where is this money being generated from?

According to my research the UBI would be a... wait for it... Crypto Currency.
I know... right... weird considering the scathing reports of all sorts of (apparently) underhand dealings in the crypto world.
Now being lauded as the 'Thing to Save us'.

What's the Alternative?

The Spirit within us requires recognition, acceptance and above all Love.
To deeply uplift the poorest into valuing themselves, 'Being of Service' should accompany UBI payments. As a Reward based payment and trade system, it offers opportunities to be a part of the greater community. To grow, learn and become an active citizen on the planet.

Being given money for nothing is great. Leads to no need to succeed. No need to grow oneself, be kinder to others or to innovate to create opportunities for oneself.
Lazyness is a by-product of a UBI with no cost for reward.
Every species on the planet has to do some work for it's food.
That's the key.

Time for Food.
Skills for Food.
Knowledge for Food.
Expertise for Food.

Every human has a value far exceeding that which we give credit for.

Value each human as a valuable contributor to the community. Reward their contribution. Create an Economic Value, An emotional Value and a Mindset of 'I have Value'.
