As humanity grows so fast,the many failing economies,and the fast approaching always changing technology, such as robots and artificial intelligence. One must think of what will happen when automation takes over the work force,because it will happen & is happening right now! That is where the UBI comes in(Universal Basic Income), Universal would mean that everyone will get and paid every month for living. Everything would be cheaper,poverty will decrease & inspiration as well as motivation will increase.
This idea was mentioned years ago when Nixon was president and hasn't been brought up since then. Now's the time to implement this idea so we as a nation can start actually improving not only the economy but humanity. Restoring hope in the lives of those who lost all hope.
There are a lot of questions about UBI and studies are being done with positive results. Of course with every positive note, there is more then likely a negative note such as big government,the cost,taxes & etc. I believe once Artificial Intelligence is throughout the work force, there is only going to be very few and far between jobs for people to have. Programming could be one as well as robotics.
The world is changing so quickly & technology is becoming more and more advanced, it's time to implement something that actually has a chance of bringing the world back together.
What are your thoughts on the Universal Basic Income?

I think universal basic income is a brilliant idea, and not only necessary for the future, but necessary decades ago.

Welcome to Steemit mikey84.It seems to me that even if we spread the wealth this way that there would be people that save more and people that spend more and we would end up back to square one. So if man would stop his stinking thinking this might work.
