Thank you for this vey welcome riposte to the UBI fanatics. It really is the most immoral idea ever proposed. John Harris is a good guy who at least gets out there in his films and talks to people (unlike all the other metro-Guardianistas) but like all the others who did PPE (I think he did PPE) he doesn’t really know anything about anything.

Universal basic income has been tried and failed. Just ask Finland. Let it remain in that dustbin of bad ideas.

UBI is the Neo-Maxist SJW Femanazi CULT concept that stifles natural progress and actually damages those it says it protects from poverty.

Every SJW measure has meant at least a 25% less increase in equality as a result. We must purge education and government of these CULT fanatics.

You are inebriated by the exuberance of your own verbosity.

There has never been any UBI anywhere in the world, only UBI- like tests or tax returns. However, all of those pilots have shown significant improvements in the physical and mental health of the participants and a decrease of crime.

People tend to call UBI pilots ‘failed’ if they don’t make people work harder as they see UBI as dole for everyone and because they see people as mere workers. Which in its turn is very socialist .

The psychological effect of a permanent UBI may be it s greatest aspect. People who are assured that they will be getting their basic needs covered, are far more likely to contribute something to society in a healthy manner.

A UBI is also a great chance for start ups and artists, who are now often forced to demolish their ideas and work some boring 9to5 job.
