    If they want to collect donations to pay a basic income, I don't care. Once they point their guns in my face to contribute, then I care.

    The Finnish government argued that existing unemployment benefits were so high and the system so rigid that a person who was unemployed might choose not to take a job because they would risk losing money — the higher your earnings, the lower your social benefits. The basic-income trial was designed as an incentive for people to start working.
    That's interesting. Calling this "Universal Basic Income" seems like kind of a misnomer. Everyone on the webbernets who's described such a thing in my experience has explained to me that it wouldn't have a work requirement in practice.

    Unemployment benefits require unemployment. If you switch to ubi, there is no longer an economic incentive to not work.

    I think the bigger misnomer is "Universal."

    I thought that was withheld from employees' checks as a tax everywhere... But I've only employed myself so far. Hopefully in the not too distant future I'll have a chance to employ people.
