    It is a noble idea. We need to put more thoughts on it and see if any countries or states are already implementing something similar.

    A universal Basic Income would either drive people lazy or way too poor if it is miscalculated.

    For example 400 € is more than the guaranteed minimal salary in Morocco, so one can live with it. However, in Europe this would be two to three times less than the guaranteed minimal salary.

      drive people lazy

      Drive people lazy?? Sorry but I can’t even comprehend that statement beyond what capital needs. Lazy is fucking brilliant for the environment and if you have friends also being ‘lazy’ also good for mental health. Next up children playing - lazy little gits get in the mines

        This is not what I meant. Understand lazy as unproductive, not partaking in any constructive activity or just being a burden on society.

        Lazy is not in the terms of “who I’ll just take a taxi instead of a 5 min walk”.

        For example, people can still be active and good citizens, by participating into charities, teaching, and doing what ever they can to help move forward.
