RE: Finland Launches Its Universal Basic Income Experiment
It's true that new jobs that we haven't envisioned yet will be created in the future and it will create opportunities for a lot of people.
But it is also wise to keep all options open and be prepared for any scenarios. So, in my opinion, this experiment by Finland is a necessary step. If it fails, it won't be for a lack of trying.
Whether it fails or succeeds it will mean nothing since it is a localized experiment with a very small sample based on a specific culture in a specific point in time.
For the record, giving people free stuff never worked in the long run. it makes people lazy and entitled.
You make some good points. We will have to wait and see how everything unfolds.
