RE: Liking Those Chains

in LeoFinance2 years ago

On the topic of employment and the minimum wage. Do you think universal basic income is kind of like socialist issue and not really addressing the real world problem? But I suppose if wages can not be assured we should have healthcare assured universally? Because for employment we all have to compete with each other.

there are two parts to the question here.

Do you think universal basic income is kind of like socialist issue

No - it is capitalist.

and not really addressing the real world problem?

Yes - it isn't addressing the issue - it is kicking the can down the road.

But I suppose if wages can not be assured we should have healthcare assured universally?

Healthcare to a basic level should be universal.

Because for employment we all have to compete with each other.

There is a difference between compete with and compete against. We tend to compete against each other.
