One thing I can say, if I had UBI, I’d try to start my own business.

Cyclist ,

Yeah that might cut into the billionaires profits, so no UBI for you. Here’s a UTI instead.

RamblingPanda ,

That’s not a bad deal. Without healthcare or a steady income that’s something that’ll last a while.

jonne ,

I think the main reason is that if you had an UBI, you’d be way more eager to join a union, strike, or quit a shitty job. They know their fortune is built on labour exploitation, even the supposed ‘tech’ companies.

solarvector ,

Other businesses are competition. Arguably worse than quitting that shitty job; not only aren’t you willing to work for them for a shitty job/wage, you’re making it more likely they’ll have to compete for labor and profits.

Tbh I’d just make the 10 millionth indie game company. So in reality I’d probably pull 0 labor lol

metaStatic ,

doing what and why can't you do it without UBI?

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

I mean presumably because they can't afford the risk of failure?

Milksteaks ,

One thing I can say, if I had UBI, 100% of it would go to my landleech to line his pockets
