My oldest son is a proponent of Universal Basic Income. Everyone will be paid a salary by the govt. whether they hold a job or not. Anyone that does work keeps that money also, so therefore can afford more stuff.
I'm not saying I agree or disagree with this. I am just not sure I can see the govt. handing out money. Provide housing/food yes, but just hand out money?
It is an interesting idea though, whether you agree or disagree with it.
