RE: Universal Basic Income.
If money is abundant, friend, then it devalues and subsequently inflation goes up, basic economy, not improving the chances of a person giving him a wad of bills.
Ergo if money is scarce it doesn't do anything to the chances of those needing to use it, hence why the American Revolution was DIRECTLY and SOLELY over the issue of Gold and Silver money replacing FIAT money and not having enough reserves in circulation to keep people employed and goods from rotting and rusting and wasting in warehouses, basements and shelves.
If you have money, your Opportunities Improve. More money in circulation doesn't devalue money, read the whitepaper and you'll realize that.
. Go to Venezuela and give 500,000 bolivares to the people to see if you create opportunities, excuse me, the government went ahead and does the same for months, see inflation and tell me the results.
You haven't a clue what exactly took place in Venezuela. The most peaceful and thriving economy we have ever known was always under Fiat money: The colonies and Tally Sticks before that. And arguably the only semblance of the abstract unit of measure that money is purported for, albeit it's explaining logic to the imbecile.
If you tell me that there are no productive people, because all jobs are automated, then you are talking about a society that is stagnat, because it does not have the capacity to grow and create new areas for these workers. The industrial revolution automated many jobs, but in the long run I create new ones, the digital age is a sample of that.
You're living in a wonderland. You think that unemployment won't keep rising and people won't keep starving, going cold and sick because they don't have any money? You're an idiot that has no regard for history or logic, you speak of money without a clue as to what money is, like most everyone else (except me). I have the last word in all these discussions because I don't fall for the mystification and absurdity that everyone else adheres to when they assume to understand why Venezuela or Zimbabwe is in shambles in their simplistic and infuriatingly idiotic mesmerized viewpoint.
UBI is not about stagnation but improving opportunities, and in many places making them. You cannot see the obvious flaw that productive people are a myth in the world of automation? You talk about motivation, you're a fucking hack and a hypocrite, did you know that?
What motivation is there when there are zero opportunities because everything is done by a machine? Look at all the world-class zoologists and their pursuit of productivity, you fucking arrogant idiot. Look at the microbiologists warning people that Viruses aren't isolated or the mechanism of interaction is a myth and making predictions on that is insane, produce much, besides the waste of Awareness and Truth n the face of lies? Produce much when a machine can do the work of MILLIONS of the time and effort of one?
The digital age has not brought about ANY, ANY jobs. It's job creation is not even a Sample, it's non-existent compared to the industrial revolution. You know what else is profitable? War. Go figure with your abuse of logic: More money =Inflation and Not more opportunities.
Go tell that to the fucking Colonists you hack who went to war with the divine right of rulership.
If money is scarce, then it is not money, because its goal is to serve as a means of exchange for all products. Money is not scarce in any country in the world.
The only way to increase the circulating money supply without devalue money, is also increasing the demand for it, and it would need a very exceptional case for people to start demanding more money if the State, or a Private, is giving it away to everyone.
Well, maybe you're right, maybe I don't know what is happening in the country where I live and born, maybe you can explain better what is happening here.
I think we are deviating a lot from the subject, which is only if a UBI is desirable, and answering the final part of what you say. It is unfortunate that the world-class zoologists, scientists, microbiologists, etc., are only an exception, in fact, a great exception in the world, but the reality is that the main motivator in the world in which we live is money.
Look at Steemit, how many are here for more than money, are really an exception. If on this platform a universal vote were given to people to publish, the Steem would descend so quickly that people would leave the page alone before we could notice it.
The digital era has created many, countless jobs, in fact, you just have to keep an eye on the main companies of today, also monopolizing the first 5 positions (Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook), are precisely those of the technological area that burst at the end of the last century.
Finally, and although it does not go to the issue, it must be made clear, the war is not beneficial or economically profitable in itself, it only generates money because a few rulers take money illegally from there, and only for them it is profitable, however, always it generates losses to the population and to the nations in all aspects, including the economic one, because it destroys everything, absolutely everything. The United States does not generate money or profits when they go to war, rather it generates debts which is counterproductive, the few that take money out of there are some rulers that propitiate these situations.
