A comment on Universal Basic Income and the threat of tyranny. Parent comment
Because it's already happening
Most people don't have the skills to get a better job neither they have the will
Look at the numbers of hartz IV in Germany
The choice is a basic income or a shitty job with no basic income
And they are almost forcing people to work in what they call "mini jobs" to lower the number of unoccupied people, but it's not really working
If they could all have a basic income, regardless of working or not, they would not work, but have more children and more income for the family
