Re:Germany begins 3-year universal-basic-income trial by jkinudsjknds on Wednesday August 19, 2020 @02:45PM (#24214401)
Personally I think the larger concerns are that if you provide UBI to everyone (not 120 random people) you're going to see severe distortions on the local economy that will encourage outsourcing wherever possible. Basic economic reasoning states that income has declining marginal utility, so wages will need to rise to incentivize people to do the work they were doing previously. Or it'll just leave.

Feels unsustainable to me.
