Fiduciary duty to shareholders. Line must go up, as much as possible, as fast as possible.

The profit incentive is toxic to creativity. Try to imagine how much cultural value is lost every single day because of no UBI and having to worry about a survival job.

No question that it's a lot. The cost of a UBI would probably be more though, ($500/month/capita, maybe? $ 2.1 trillion per annum for the USA).

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

There isn't a set in stone amount of UBI for it to be called that. Even $100/mo would be UBI.

[-] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

the "B" stands for basic, as in basic needs, $100/mo would not cover the average americans rent, let alone other basic needs. You're looking for Universal stipend/Guarenteed Minimum Income/Citizens dividend or other related concept
