I oppose UBI and I had to stop the survey because my political view is mixed. I will not stand with one political party. No one person is always correct so why would a group of people be correct?
I am against UBI because it’s pretty much asking the government to slap on more patches for the issues that they will never bother to resolve. UBI is a direct catalyst to inflation because more money would be needed to be printed unless money falls down from the sky. Do you think there will be enough budget when there are cut backs on other programs? Well one great source for UBI would be all the money taken under the table by the politicians.
No. A universal basic income would create more inflation, and since universal, the wealthy get the same basic income stipend, which defeats the purpose.
It is a handout by the federal government, nothing more and nothing less.
Further, a UBI would have to be paid for and other social programs are likely on the cutting block.
There is no current need for UBI. Unemployment is low, wages have risen and many jobs are unfulfilled.
It’s absolutely necessary, especially with the introduction of AI.
Make the AI companies pay for it. The training all of their models have used is the culmination of all of humanity’s efforts. The money they’re making will far outweigh the cost of paying into a UBI for every individual.
