Definitely awesome food for thought.
I am divided on universal basic income in that I cannot see the greedy relinquishing their hoard to those who need it. Governments giving hand outs do so by releasing the taxes they collect from the people. The more money needed, the more taxes that need to be collected and the less big corporations will want to be a part of a country that taxes higher.
It is SO needed and there is obviously incredible value in measured masses of consumers who are convinced that they are middle class and deserve to buy more. Universal income will effect the lowest income earners who will have to achieve higher earnings to be the sheep that capitalism wants to fleece.
Great conversation and at least the pandemic is bringing these topics to light under a new perspective.
