AAQ “HOPEFULLY, IN TEN YEARS, THERE WILL BE ENOUGH WORKERS TO SUPPORT ALL SLACKERS”
Everyone: Are you implying that full-time learners are slackers?
Sorry for inaccurate writing. What I meant to say is that I am not sure whether Yang’s income scheme will work out for the society, when so many people will stop working. Finnish experiment a couple of years ago seem to show that basic income does not encourage those who are already unemployed to start working (there was slight increase, but it seems it was attributed to some unrelated policy change). There was self-reported improvement in mental health and wellbeing from people worrying less (my words now:) about being forced to show that they are looking for a job.
