RE: Unconditional Basic Income as the Social Vaccine of the 21st Century
“Can we really afford a world without basic income?”
nope.
Steemit is an embryonic experiment which might give some insight in how to provide UBI without resorting to taxes.
Let that sink in for a moment.
What if a country were to implement a fork of the Steemit BlockChain providing all of their citizens the opportunity to earn rewards?
Maybe with each person having only one account, some form of universal basic income automatically distributed, each person having equal or close to equal voting power/weight, etc, that could work much better.
Right now, we have a system where whales cannot be voted out of office and they control the supply. Bots also pool money to exploit the system and benefit from it, without really adding much value to the system.
guess you didn't hear about steem-chat where the whale running it got booted out?
Nope, but that's interesting! I'll check. :)
