RE: Unconditional Basic Income as Paid Family Leave
I'm not opposed to UBI, but I'm also not convinced that we should do whatever everyone else does.

Doing what everyone else is doing would be mandating paid parental leave. My point here was that we could not do paid parental leave, and instead do universal basic income, so as to accomplish the purpose of paid parental leave, but voluntarily instead of via government mandate.
Is the purpose of paid family leave a good cause?
I can foresee this as Pandora's Box, where there is constant pressure to increase UBI to accommodate this or that group, until we tax ourselves into Oblivion.
I recommend watching the video at the top of this when you have the time to do so.
Okay. That doesn't really answer my question.
I suggest we not take Comedy Central editorials too seriously.
