RE: Ethics and Morality of Basic Income.
Basic income will probably have to result in a very minimal quality of life in order to work. If you want anything more than government issued cheese and a tent you might need to find a job. If we did do this most employers would probably need to pay better.
exactly, the gov will not pay for anything extra, and how LONG can it last before people begin to get frustrated. What if the gov calculations allows you "no more than 3 pairs of pants per year" ?? People today imagine basic income as an ideal solution because it would still complement traditional income but the picture will be entirely different when it is all that is to make ends meet.
