What do you expect after a life of forced labour?
Do they stop helping their families on the daily tasks? I think these questions should clarify your thoughts.
UBI is UNCONDITIONAL. It can't be used to control, and, being universal, there's no way it can create clientelism as do conditioned aid today.
Please, explain to me how regular cash payments made individually, unconditionally to everyone, can make us more and not less dependent from the market and the state, which are the same thing if you look closely.
Gladly is only your opinion, while facts from pilots demonstrate that UBI is an activator to do anything, regardless of the activity, paid or non paid.
Why nobody ask where is the money going to come from when is for military spending? They always find the money, or just they print it, lol.
Because yes, money can be printed. It's a mere abstraction, a measure tool.
Competition.
What would then impede people migrating to rural areas, where life is less expensive, to live better?
Prices in the city will go down if there is not enough demand.
Debt and money are invented abstract objects. Pure ideas.
The question is, do we have the resources to feed, clothe and house everyone?
Yes we do.
UBI is just another formal tool to wake you up to this truth. Ephemeralisation. We can each day do more with less, but our irrational economic system is impeding adequate distribution of resources.
And economics nowadays have nothing to do with mathematics, because, where is the rational use of resources to provide for everyone's basic needs?
So, UBI is just a fist step outside of this wasteful system to acknowledge that economy should serve and preserve the whole human species, and not the other way around.
Our aim is to establish the introduction of unconditional basic incomes throughout the EU which ensure every person’s material existence and opportunity to participate in society as part of its economic policy. This aim shall be reached while remaining within the competences conferred to the EU by the Treaties.
Why don't we join together and stablish UNIVERSALY UBI? We are about to finish citizens initiative in Spain. Switzerland is about to make a referendum. UE is discussing it on parlament... This is a global conversation. What inmigration?
In Spain there is already a model with real data. There is no problem to finance, the main difficulty is politic will, not money.
Since you are not injecting money to the system there is no inflation. UBI is a tool for a redistribution of wealth.
Here is the model in spanish: www.nodo50.org/redrentabasica/descargas/RBnoinerte.pdf
