Maybe don't tax the crap out of the working class so they don't have to work all the time.
Money doesn't solve all problems but it does solve a lot of them
Money can't buy happiness, but it can pay off despair.
The goal of UBI is not happiness. It's simply not freezing or starving to death.
Sounds like the common answer is: the working class needs to feel like they’re going somewhere. No one wants to work just to pay bills. You give the average working person an extra $500-$1000 a month and people immediately feel better. So many people worry that if the working class gets paid more, they’ll be less motivated to work. No. They’ll feel less poor, something no one wants to feel
If UBI gets passed in the US, there needs to be some kind of “fuckery tax” where if prices go up the businesses raising those prices get taxed 110% so they actively lose money by jacking up prices
Money won't make you happy But I would rather be rich and unhappy, Than poor and unhappy
I remember being told decades ago we'd all be working 2-3 day weeks because computers were gonna speed everything up. I'm still waiting.
Im surprised Andrei didnt touch on the Alaska oil dividend. Alaska has been giving residents an annual payout for decades as a share of oil sales. It's not a set amount, but from what I can gather a typical family could get between $5k- $10k a year. It is meant to compensate all residents for the natural resources being used since, as he mentioned early in the video, if we keep consuming all natural resources there won't be anything left for future generations. Its not about bailing anyone out if poverty, its extra money that improves their quality of life without destroying the economy.
The circumstance of healthcare, housing, and food insecurity is the biggest problem.
