What do you think Americans? Are you looking forward to a thousand bucks extra each month?
Do you think UBI would even work? Are you scared of automation?

Why don't you offer your opinion on it Rif, like:
How do you think it will affect your Country, or any of your neighboring Countries ?
Or if you think it is a good or bad idea toward work-ethics, creativity/motivation today.
...I think it's not a bad idea in general for the World's far future, but currently think it would be detrimental toward work-ethics, creativity, and bolster the current pathetic entitlement mentality of our Liberal youth's minds in my Country.
Bad Idea, maybe a good idea some time in the future after we sort out things like how to get along with one another and stuff like that.

If you mean how American UBI would affect my country, then I highly doubt it would affect my country in any way, however I plan on going to college abroad and hopefully emigrating to the US after that, so I guess in that way it would also affect me. If you mean how it would affect my country if we had UBI, then i really don't know because my country is going to be in a political mess with no progress being made until the next time **** hits the fan and we have a war again, so there's no point in thinking about anything here except how to leave this *****.
One thing to consider is that 12k a year is not a lot of money, not enough to live off of anyway. It would probably make college life a bit easier too, essentially sacrificing a part of one's future earnings (through the extra tax one would have to pay for UBI to be a thing) to make one's young life a bit easier, however Yang seems to have plans to fix the insane college tuition problem in the US anyway so idk if that will even matter. It also just seems like a better system than welfare, and something that could replace it.
Perhaps the feeling of having something instead of nothing will motivate young people to acquire a whole lot more of something.

To lower the cost of health services and technology in the long run. To level the playing field in terms of access to knowledge and credentials versus how much money your parents were born with. To promote disgruntled worker retraining. To start the ball rolling towards a system that isn't capitalizing on a person's failure.Ronch wrote:@ Rif & Joan
College is over priced here in the US, no argument there, way over priced, like; corruptly over priced.
IMO the cost to students should be seriously examined/exposed and overhauled.
...But, with the exception of scholarships, why would anyone expect College to be free, I'd like to hear the reasoning ? ....I won't argue or debate it, I'd just like to see any reasoning behind it.
