Re: Basic income
Have you ever been involved in volunteer work? The vast majority of "helpers" a 100% useless, stick around for the feel good part and disappear when actual hard work has to be done. People love to "help" animals, but they wander off when it's time to scoop poop and file 501c paperwork.
This sort of work doesn't keep society going. It's a BS, not-fun work that needs to be done that pays people who can then buy services and supplies and keep other people employed that does the work.
Most 1st world countries have enough programs to care for nearly everyone willing to do what's needed to get the help. Some people honestly choose not to get help due to pride or other malfunctions. There's work to be done, but just handing out cash I think is the wrong way to go about it.
