So your argument is just to put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes and pretend nothing is going to happen or change and that hopefully historical trends will not change despite good evidence to the contrary?


No. My argument is that UBI doesn't work. It doesn't work and outside of a handful of pilot programs, no one will touch it- not even the Germans.

Show me a thriving, economically healthy democracy that has used UBI for at least 30 years.

So you say it hasn't really been tried on a wide scale but yet it doesn't work? So you mean it doesn't work conceptually? If so, why?

And again we get back to the same question, what works then? What will work in the future based on the agreed upon premises and forces at work?
