Scotland Will Begin Funding Universal Basic Income Experiments
“Scotland is about to join the slowly expanding list of countries that are experimenting with Universal Basic Income (UBI). These trial-runs are exploring a variety of different ways in which citizens will receive a guaranteed salary from the government, regardless of social status or any other factor. There are currently UBI experiments being run or seriously considered in areas of the United States, Canada, Germany, Finland, and a host of others, which are being funded both by governments and private organizations…”

It is OK, it will expose sane people needing and wanting more from insane people asking just to survive, exist.
This will be fascinating to see how it goes. It’s often seemed like a good idea to me.
communism by any other name….is still communism
Laryssa Kaiser Perhaps you should research what UBI is and how it works before you get on your cute little soapbox.
The world is modernizing and even though the jobs displaced create new jobs in return the requirement for those jobs could require higher mental capabilities.
In some way wouldn’t a UBI be a kind of substitution for disabilities?
DJ Programer It would be more of a substitution for the current welfare programs than for disabilities. An official national UBI would include financial management training and leave the recipient open to pursue other avenues for additional income as well, including for pursuing hobbies and starting businesses, spending more time cultivating family and community, and so on, all whilst saving billions per year versus the current welfare programs. And the jobs displaced are far outnumbering the new jobs in return, and it’s only just beginning, so if we’re not prepared with some sort of alternative system, it’s going to hit us very very very very very hard. And the new jobs, sure, some may require some additional mental capabilities, but, well, as harsh as it may sound, so goes the course of evolution…

I’ll try to get back to that later but for now that was pretty well put.
None the less a machine still can not repair itself yet. That’s what I meant as far as the jobs that are being created.
DJ Programer Perhaps not yet, but we’re getting closer… https://phys.org/news/2017-09-machinery.html
