How much should a Universal Basic Income be?
A podcast by Joe Rogans podcast with Brian Cox (JRE #1233) got me thinking.
Suppose a UBI is agreed on and financed in your country:
How high should it be?
- I don't think it's a good idea
- 2 × minimum wage
- 1× minimum wage
- 1/2 × minimum wage
- 1/3 × minimum wage
- Other

I think this is cooler. To be honest, I would not be thinking of ever working if my UBI is a great deal. I mean I could just rely on Steem or work online and according to a foreign system.
For me, the UBI should not be a great deal such that it would encourage people to get employed.

I think everyone has a right to opportunities to make an income. I don't think everyone has a right to a universal basic income, just because they were born.
I don't know how this gets paid for. Government budgets already rely on too much borrowing from central banks and other countries to even get through their current budgets, which would be nothing in comparison to the size of their budgets if they implemented this for every household, let alone every man woman and a child, even at a 1/3 of minimum wage, however that was set or determined.
Someone has to work. Someone has to pay for this, and there's absolutely no incentive from the wealthy to do it, without coercion.
I don't know. It just creates many more problems than it solves.

Equal to the subsistence wage/level, living wage.
It should be the absolute minimum amount what is needed to cover the basic necessities (basic needs) to be able to maintain a basic life.
I think that everyone deserves to (and should) be able to maintain at least a basic life.
The minimum wage can (and probably should) be different (higher) than this.

Some more than the minimum wage - which is mostly not enough to live a full life -, but less than the average wage.

personally a big fan of the UBI concept. I understand the challenges for it, but have heard some good counter-arguments that support the idea. 1/2 the minimum wage sounds fair, to encourage participation in the workforce without punishing those who aren't in it. Seems fair as long as the minimum wage is a livable wage.
I just typed a long-ass answer just to see the "poll expired" message. I'll brnig myself to type it again later...
Sorry to hear that.
Give me the cliffsnotes version as a regular comment. Would like to hear it
