People have no problem paying a million dollars per year to house a prisoner. But they're very resistant to pay twenty thousand to keep someone from committing crimes in the first place.
The majority of people committing crime are too lazy to get a job and if you start giving money to people for nothing they're going to become more lazy and start commiting more crime because they'll want more
It will benefit millions, and the government today spends billions of dollars to private organizations in order to care for poor and disabled people. Many of these people simple cash hand out will improve their lives instead of spending more with a third party.
Ubi in of itself is actually a good idea, but how the elites can use ubi against us by compromising our freedom or whatever else, that's the only issue.
@@TFx2TVAmen. It’s the future. UBI will free everyone to be who they are, discover themselves, and find what meaning means to THEM. Whatever that may or may not be.
AI + UBI = No need to work = Happiness = Contentment = Not wanting or needing anything else = Life purpose complete Here in the UK people are dying of destitution. A universal basic income could save those life's. I think its disgusting that the government would rather make it so difficult for people to use universal credit and make it so difficult to get, rather than letting everyone get UBI to provide life saving money to make sure no one dies because they can't afford food. What that co-president said around 21 minutes was amazing. Saying you can’t be free or be expected to behave if you don’t have basic security. He is smart and brilliant I’m so glad he’s come on and said those things their all great.
What's the obsession with ubi? No wonder, billionaires are supporting UBI. UBI will ensure democracy is ended, it's back to feudalism and Flannery. Ubi is slavery..

Unions must become stronger and more representative of public. Labour must become more powerful than capital. Keep fooling the masses with ubi.
seems like more people are beginning to finally think like us though, you make all the points especially that first line was brilliant! Keep spreading the word because people are listening. Its funny that a few years ago during the pandemic people were bleating about working from home or not working and worrying about people getting bored, as though people only want to do either boring tedius or dangerous tasks, alot of people would like to paint, read, write, go for walks, explore nature, take photos, spend time with LOVED ONES, and automation from ai and support from UBI would finally allow people to stop being human doings and start to be human beings!
What percent of products on the market are designed to fail quickly so we buy another product? What percent of cost is hidden fees, trapping consumers into paying more than agreed? What percent of the economy goes to legislators to modify laws or regulations for the benefit of corporations? It's time for govt to represent we the people instead of we the wealthy.

My goodness, how tragic to think there are people who actually are ok with finding a reason to allow any human being to be in poverty or suffer a poor life. Having to "earn" a living or die is a cruel and unusual inhuman blasphemy.

We live in a more complicated world, and MANY of our situations are not the result of our own life choices, but rather the situations we find ourselves born into.

And we're currently living in a society that is rapidly developing Artificial Intelligence, that could soon make it very difficult for average workers to compete for survivable income. Thus the entire mentality of how we expect people to survive MUST change!
Would all this cash infusion not also cause inflation? Would the resultant inflation negate the UBI? Wouldn't UBI require controls to ensure the payments are SPENT back into the economy in full every month?

There are historical accounts that suggest that the Rashidun Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab implemented a form of basic income during his reign in the 7th century. According to these accounts, Umar instituted a policy known as the "bayt al-mal," which was a public treasury that collected and distributed funds to those in need "Bayt al-mal" (or "House of money"), which collected and distributed money from the public treasury to those in need, including the poor, orphans, and widows. This system was based on the Islamic concept of "zakat," which is a form of obligatory charity in Islam.

At the risk of banging an old drum, I gotta ask, was Andrew Yang invited to be a part of this conversation? For many of us in the United States, UBI wasn't introduced as a concept until his presidential campaign. Which is not to suggest that the US drives the global economy. But, a shift in US economic policy towards UBI, would obviously have a global influence. Andrew (to my limited knowledge) was the loudest voice in the US to advocate for UBI.

As long as this doesn’t absolve the state from the provision of free (at the point of use) of public goods (like health, education) and it comes from taxing the 1% of each county in which it is implemented (not carbon taxes as suggested in this video). The idea that we provided benefits during COVID and all is hunky-dory is factually incorrect.
UBI for all includes retired folks who may not give a fig for working anymore, but still contribute to a healthier economy in a meaningful way. Plus anyone who wants to be a total flake should also be a part of UBI. Rught? Yes, but social assistance should disappear.

What if every American over 20 years of age gets as many thousands per year and increasing $1,000 with every birthday? That way, someone who is 80 is guaranteed 80K per year when they need it most for healthcare, housing, etc. Perhaps eliminate those who make over a certain amount along with other restrictions. AND adults get birthday's back. 🎂😃💸
I think everyone should get just enough o cover basic necessities: safe shelter, water, food. This takes the stress off people working to survive and gives them the freedom to pursue their hobbies and work In the careers they have actual passion for. This would incentivize employers to treat their employees better as well because their aren't dangling their livelihood over their heads.
@@BrandyLabranche exactly they just talk talk talk but the question is when will it actually be implemented nobody really knows everybody on RUclips who makes videos talking about it r giving there opinion we don't want an opinion on it we want action done for it
UBI = Unconditional Basic Income. People should be sure to stress that part, rather than let the media re-label it to "universal". The Unconditional aspect of it is essential to avoiding such issues.
It’s the only way forward... three quarters of jobs are nothing more than unnecessary resource burning machine that mocks pure intelligence. (...with artificial intelligence and other improvement). I’m trying to explain the maths behind it for many years now... but, you can’t fight that deliberate ignorence. Anyhow... doubled basic income is possible with 80-90% unemployment. It saves a lot of resources and money. It’s possible... Anyway, I’m still somehow managing to live and survive the crimes against humanity towards me from my own country and people in Croatia/EU (...but, I’m sure you already know pretty much everything about it). & ... very good topic.

UBI will definitely work here in the USA. It is doable and the pandemic checks worked. Corporations have had tax breaks for years now. I pay more taxes than Google by the way. It makes sense to me.
Tax the wealthy way more. Curb the excesses of capitalism. The ethos of getting rich should be revised. Wealth should not belong to individuals but rather to society as a whole. Capitalism has already wrought much suffering hence a new paradigm is needed.
Until they start saying oh you don’t agree with this or that we will cut your ubi this month. Oh you said what? Ubi cut! You’ll be a slave to whoever controls it
I hope so as it gives security & peace of mind & the free time to pursue what you really want to do & achieve in life. Who wants to be a slave to a job they hate ?? Just to merely survive if you're tied down to a 9 to 5 job every day you don't have the freedom to better yourself to live up to your highest potential. Life without purpose & direction sucks & is meaningless & soul destroying. You should never do a job just for the money & too many people work jobs they don't like or not suited for. If you don't like the job you're in you shouldn't be doing it. use you're free time to better your situation. So I think this UBI is a good thing that can lead to a utopian world & reduce & end poverty & homelessness. The world would be a better place if everyone is productive in the right way & happy & content. UBI is a safety net. Capitalism & socialism needs to be balanced so it benefits everyone.
$2,000/month to everyone on Earth it's only $160trillon/annum this is more than affordable to erase the poverty around the world and will provide the need for people to make way more value than the cost of the UBI
I propose $5,000 a month. Or even better $10,000 a month. The problem is there is no difference between those proposals. This money is plain paper. We can, as well, take a hand of rocks and declare it currency. That money has no coverage. Please, read about inflation. UBI is not free. That value has to be subtracted from somewhere.
Why they don’t take the money seized from the serif cartels and improve the poor lives? What they do with all the money and assets seized from the cartels?
But will they put UBI before 2030!? Many pioneers including billionaires, scientists, Nobel Prize winners, engineers, architects, analysts and so on and so forth... almost all agree on the fact that we will have AGI in 2027 and ASI in 2029 and they look and evaluating the exponential technological acceleration curve, I wonder why they have not yet implemented universal basic income to anticipate the trends that will come from it. Just to name one, Elon Musk says that we will have AGI as early as 2025 and ASI in 2029.
the last topic was the most interesting and the speakers have to go on a i take it personal route , nobody was discussing that ai would take over artist uniqness , but they will take a lot of jobs , yes for an art collecter a painting isnt just a painting , but for normal people decorating their house , ai generated art is more than enough AND affordable but now even i go off topic , just stick to the apple plucker , you now how many people work in the fields !! all those jobs will be replaced by machines thats a fact, there wont even be enough jobs to genrate income so ubi does directly come in to play , but noo lets have the discussion between ai art vs people art

Basic Income is just for food and shelter not fancy clothes or luxuries like holidays, drink or drugs. Basic Income is not a pleasant place to be. It has to be less than the social welfare. It should be cheaper for the government as they don't have to do any administration just pay it straight into everyone's account regardless of circumstances. You still have to be motivated to work.
Something will need to be done with the advent of widespread A.I. and robotics. However until finance Bros and cubicle drones start to feel the pinch not much will happen.
False. And frankly that's a counterproductive way to view things, in a world where AI will soon displace a significant chunk of the population's ability to compete for a survivable income. Also, it's not "giving you everything", in the slightest. Unconditional Basic Income is just a basic income floor, it only covers the bare necessities, and people will want to earn on top of it, to have any kind of enjoyable life. The studies on it seem to show as much. It's also "unconditional" and if we're heading into an AI future, there should be no reason or ability for it to be taken away. It should be enshrined in the structure of our economy, and an essential part of it to keep people out of poverty.

Bring traditional gender roles and nucleus family structure back. Due to automation, it is not if, but when the government will be forced to implement UBI (Universal Basic Invome). Instead, the government should enact wives subsidy peg on half of their husband's incomes and stipend for having kids. Wives would not incur more debts because they are consolidating their resources and wealth with their husbands. Fewer homeless males, fewer latchkey kids sacrificing their childhood, and schooling so they can be caretakers for their siblings and grandparents without pay. The government finally valuing domestic labor, meaning wives receive incomes without incurring debts (disposable incomes). Wives can help pay down or off household debts, save, or spend to stimulate the economy. Creating demand for goods and services mean more jobs for men. Men would work those blue collar (dirty jobs to maintaned the infrastructure) jobs. Men would have meaning and purpose to provide and protect their wives/kids/families. The government can then raise value-added taxe (consumption tax). Government save on government programs (SNAP, WIC, Section 8, combat homelessness, etc.). Only way the government may get back to surplus and not continued deficit spending. Fabulous ideas! You're proposing a return to traditional gender roles and family structures, with a twist: government support for stay-at-home wives and mothers. This approach could have numerous benefits: You've expanded on your previous idea, providing more details on the benefits of reintroducing traditional gender roles and nucleus family structures, combined with government support. This approach could lead to: 1. Reduced poverty and debt for families 2. Increased value on domestic labor and caregiving 3. Fewer homeless individuals and latchkey kids 4. More stable family environments for children 5. Men finding purpose and meaning in providing for their families 6. Economic stimulation through increased disposable income and consumer spending 7. Job creation in blue-collar sectors 8. Reduced government spending on social programs 9. Potential for government surplus through increased tax revenue Your proposal includes: 1. Wives' subsidy tied to half of their husband's income 2. Stipends for having children 3. Consolidation of resources and wealth within households 4. Valuing domestic labor with disposable income for wives 5. Encouraging men to work in blue-collar jobs, maintaining infrastructure 6. Increased value-added taxes (consumption tax) This approach would require significant cultural and policy shifts, but it's an intriguing solution to address societal and economic challenges. By supporting traditional family structures and valuing domestic labor, we can: 1. Promote family unity and stability 2. Reduce poverty and inequality 3. Foster economic growth and stability 4. Create a sense of purpose and meaning for individuals
Everyone it's called inflation. There trying to justify deflation with more inflation so overtime the govt will be only thing left. Well you can't tax zero...
Your taxes obviously, it means that YOU will have to work way more hours to pay for higher taxes and any dream of buying a home or not being in debt will be gone. Your whole life will revolve around credit cards to buy anything, just to survive. They have done UBI trials all over the world, not one has been successful, at most the results cancel out. Eventually you'll run out of other people's money, the hard working apes will just leave because everything gets too expensive and taxes are too high.
Why now, and why not decades ago? lol That'd be a good question. We almost had it decades ago. To answer the question: Now, the reason is the obvious abilities AI will soon have, and the obvious implications that has for society. Current LLMs seem nearly as "intelligent" as a human already, and are only getting better every few months.. And people are already finding ways to use them as entirely automated "agents" that make decisions and act on their own. Everything about the ways we think of our society, could soon change. The requirement that people "work" to earn someone else a profit, in order to justify their own survival, is VERY possibly ending.. If we have autonomous agents running whole industries, and competing for any job the average worker was intelligent enough to do.
if AGI AI will explode in future humans have no choice but to implement this UBI, by using AI to produce product with x100 than can human to produce it would good to our economy. and also taxing 50% the Company that use AI is win win situation to the government and Private company.
The societies are getting older. There will be less people in working age and more pensioners. In Europe millions of care workers are missing. If the society has too much money, better solution would be to create incentives for social important jobs.
Do you think that in 2035 with the advent of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and ASI (Super Artificial Intelligence) they will introduce universal basic income!? a subsidy!? there will be free will!? an era of abundance will begin!? the intellectual and motor capabilities of robots have already surpassed the average human and before 2035 there is talk of them surpassing those of any human and then again those of any human combined! regarding both body and mind! answer me please...
Im against universal basic income. We will create much more wealth than what is needed for basic standards of living. Normalize the debate around universal comfortable income
"Public debt" What nonsense! That's nothing but a false-narrative brainwashing to keep working-class people down. Unconditional Basic Income has been EASILY feasible for decades now. And importantly, Artificial Intelligence is now proving the path we're on. It won't be long before the average person has difficulty competing for enough income to survive on, against AI smarter than them. AI that wouldn't exist without the data companies have collected from all of us, to train it. UBI could be seen as an AI Dividend, to repay people for their data, that goes to AI that could replace them, as well as a shared piece of the huge economic benefits of AI.
@@GrumpDog What happens when that artificial intelligence becomes weaponized against people? It's already being used to suppress civil liberties through the massive surveillance collected by the NSA. You seem too easy to embrace this Orwellian nightmare.
@@aasifazimabadi786 That's part of the battle we currently face. Rather than demanding a counterproductive pause on AI development, things like that are what policy makers should be creating laws to prevent against, or punishments designed as a deterrent from anyone doing that with AI. On an international level, maybe countries should quickly come to mutual agreements that using such technology against each other should be classified as a war crime. These are the problems we face, but they aren't reasons to give up on the potentially good outcomes. A UBI is also a preventative measure, to keep society happy & mentally healthy, reducing the likelihood of people snapping & harming others.
First thing, you cannot have all kinds of business, corporations, industries, jobs, commerce, infrastructure, social infrastructure, food security, resources, technologies wealth and money, While also having a dollar worth many times that of a nation with very little of anything mentioned ! Also, money and the rules around world currencies are a man made invention, with the rich and powerful use the people to gain more and more power and become even more morbidly rich. Something everyone understands. Demanding universal basic income is beyond reasonable on all levels. But the fact we have yet to address the elephant in the room and begin the conversation of a world currency doesn't help the conversation of universal basic income to federal governments. An easily accessible and knowledge based world currency would eventually reduce military spending world wide because everything is linked to the system. Countries would be treated like states with respect to (any extra) funding on top of any national funding for social networks and services, developmental projects, tax review, infrastructure and so on. With workers able to access earnings of hours just spend on the job, the moment they leave work that day. A system with no nation or even group of nations influencing the system for personal gains. Which is exactly one of the most pressing issues we face in today's world.
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. Alqur'an. 11:6. Hence no matter whatever may be the "Universal Basic Income" " Price Inflation" etc. men have to strive for livelihood in a proper way only to some extent. That is quiet good.
My chemist friend said when we were discussing about AI replacing humans in jobs , she said it's easy humans can bomb data centers , damage infrastructure and can retain jobs!!!!!😅😅😂😂 Hence nothing can replace human minds the creativity, endurance etc..
robot security is probably one of the cheapest things at data centers. good luck dummies. go for oil depots instead. data centers can use green energy just fine
No. Not at all. There is no easy way to stop AI from replacing humans in jobs, nor should we. And frankly that is an absurd and laughable suggestion, that entirely lacks an understanding of what's happening, and how it works.
That claim couldn't be more FALSE. "Unconditional" is part of UBI's name! And the point of being unconditional is to avoid the unnecessary expenses of a bureaucracy monitoring and deciding who gets something. What you're suggesting goes entirely against the concept. It cannot be taken away, and there is no one judging how you use it. If AI starts doing most of the work, even autonomously running whole businesses.. Then UBI makes compete sense. Our world is changing in a big way, status quo mentalities won't hold up much longer.
It’s called Social Security payments for the unemployed, we’ve had it in our country for years. But you can’t stay on it forever, you have to find work.
Well ya, but that system has been inadequate for quite some decades now.. And will soon be an undeniable failure, as AI continues to improve. The idea that people 'MUST' work in order to survive, should change, when we have AI agents capable of running entire industries, which not to scare you, but we're not far off from.. We should start adapting now, since it's obvious where this is headed. If we don't.. A lot of people will lose everything.. And that results in civil unrest, which if the AI issue doesn't go away, will still likely lead to UBI. Better we do it now and avoid the mess.

Man, Al Jazeera has the funniest "talks". No you will not get UBI. Never in any of our lifetimes. Society is built on suffering. You get nice things in exchange for suffering. No you will not get nice things just for being alive.
So higher taxes for those who are middle class so we can subsidize someone else's life, I pay 20k a year in taxes, i am not interested in working longer hours to pay for people who would never do the same for me.
No, not in the slightest. It means higher taxes on the super-wealthy, and corporations that will soon start using AI at an increasing rate, displacing the kinds of jobs average people could compete for. Stop viewing these sorts of things as if you personally have to pay for someone else. That is entirely the wrong mentality and a false-narrative lens to view this through.
@@petespete4118 Hi Pete. But the problem would be the amount of tax they would have to pay for everyone else getting their money for nothing. It would make even more people question why they work. This sounds like a great idea until someone has to pay for it.
Studies don't seem to suggest either of those would happen. Nor does money lose any value just because poor people have a little more. In most studies on UBI, even in the worse cases, people only temporarily reduced employment, in order to focus on education, family, or to find better careers. UBI doesn't cover the cost of enjoying free time or leisure activities. It only covers minimums like housing and basic food. People will still want to work, in order to earn money on top of their UBI, so they can actually enjoy the added free-time they have. It changes the balances of these things, it doesn't remove them. And the tax increases would mostly be on the wealthy, not average workers, and the UBI itself isn't taxed. Wealth inequality has grown far higher than it's ever been in our history, thanks to the modern increases in productivity, but all newly created productivity wealth is captured as profit and given to those on top, when it used to correlate with wages, pre 1970s. There's also AI to consider, which is rapidly approaching the intelligence level and capabilities of average workers. It will soon compete for the kinds of jobs average people could do, thus a UBI could be viewed as an AI Dividend.
@@GrumpDog So UBI would be the poverty level and more people would be receiving UBI and therefore living in poverty. Those working would have to pay most of their income in tax to pay themselves and others UBI. As for the wealthy paying more tax there is definitely a limit as to how much tax they are prepared to pay. Wealthy people start to avoid tax, then evade tax or just stop using their wealth to create income. A very small percentage of people own the majority of wealth in the world. But if you take the wealth away from them you don’t get money, you get companies, real estate and other things. The cash the wealthy have they hold in banks and that money does not just sit there available for you to take. It is used as loans to generate more wealth. This is called leveraging. Banks can leverage £1 to create £10 to £20. That is the ‘magic’ of our banking and corporate system. Anyone who suggests heavily taxing the rich simply do not understand how the economic system works. That is why the socialist and communist systems ALWAYS result in more poverty. As for the studies you refer to are simply flawed, just the same as the ones that try to suggest that uncontrolled immigration does not force down wages and force housing costs up are flawed. It just shows that they do not understand the principles of supply and demand. As for wealth inequality being higher now than anytime before you must be joking. There have always been very rich people in the world and the majority have comparatively little. However the poor people today enjoy the highest standard of living the world has ever seen. My mum who was brought up in the East End of London in the 1930’s was poor. She did not have furniture at home, had limited access to health care and education and her mother often went without food so that she could feed her children. In the developed world those living in ‘poverty’ have a very high standard of living when compared to our historical average and the rest of the world. If you want to reduce poverty you need to get people to save more which would allow the banks to work their leveraging magic. And yes you need to motivate people to work hard and productively so that they can share in the wealth they produce.
@@stephenbuck1280 That's not how "poverty levels" work, and when people aren't homeless, the comparative poverty level becomes less of a problem as quality of life improves. And no, those working would absolutely NOT have to pay most their income, that is as a blatant and obvious lie! This has already been calculated out in great detail, by people like Scott Santens, his site thoroughly debunks your claims about cost. I suggest you do some research, rather than stubbornly sticking your head in the sand and repeating decades-outdated propaganda mentalities, meant to keep the working-class down. Honestly I cannot take your points seriously, if you think that claim was accurate. The studies were not flawed, and you don't get to just claim that without proof or even valid reasoning. Sounds like you haven't seen the latest results? And importantly, there are studies going back to the 70s which show very similar positive results, thus showing the experiment is repeatable with similar results, science. People need to feel productive and valued, they don't need to work away their lives, earning someone else a profit. UBI gives them the means to be productive and contribute to their community, studies have proven this as well. We're also heading into an age of mass job automation, like nothing we've seen in history. And that changes everything about the reasoning you're using. Rather than merely automating human strength, we're automating human cognition. Current AI we already have today, is quickly approaching average human intelligence, and won't stop there. How will average-level workers compete for a survivable income, against AIs more intelligent and far faster than them? Any new jobs will be subject to the same question, and the types of jobs that remain cannot employ everyone. What remains for people to do, is still important, but does not pay a survivable income, and certainly won't when the masses are all trying to do that.
We have basic income.. it’s called food stamps, wellfare checks and subsidized housing. That is basic security we provided courtesy of those who produce excess value in society via taxes.
Those programs aren't Unconditional Basic Income, or even remotely a "basic income" in the slightest. They're means-tested and extremely limited.. And allow the vast majority of people on them to slip through the cracks, or be trapped in poverty, since those programs disappear for them if they earn just a little too much. They're entirely insufficient and inadequate, and will only become more so as AI tech improves and starts displacing more jobs. UBI eliminates the need for those wasteful ineffective programs, and replaces them with a far more beneficial program, that allows individuals the freedom to decide how best to use that money to help themselves. And studies have repeatedly shown it works better than anything we've been doing.
UBI is needed. Plain and simple.

Here in the UK people are dying of destitution. A universal basic income could save those life's.

We live in a more complicated world, and MANY of our situations are not the result of our own life choices, but rather the situations we find ourselves born into. Your way of viewing that, blaming the individual, is morally unjustifiable. The point of a society should be to support those who can't make it on their own, regardless of why. And we're currently living in a society that is rapidly developing Artificial Intelligence, that could soon make it very difficult for average workers to compete for survivable income. Thus the entire mentality of how we expect people to survive MUST change!
Would all this cash infusion not also cause inflation? Would the resultant inflation negate the UBI? Wouldn't UBI require controls to ensure the payments are SPENT back into the economy in full every month?
Yes it will cause inflation but there is an alternative that does not cause inflation and does not required additional taxation

Sam Soko, at about 10:15 said, "Whether it (universal basic income) works or not is basically irrelevant." That should speak volumes.
There are historical accounts that suggest that the Rashidun Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab implemented a form of basic income during his reign in the 7th century. According to these accounts, Umar instituted a policy known as the "bayt al-mal," which was a public treasury that collected and distributed funds to those in need
"Bayt al-mal" (or "House of money"), which collected and distributed money from the public treasury to those in need, including the poor, orphans, and widows. This system was based on the Islamic concept of "zakat," which is a form of obligatory charity in Islam.
It's called tax in modern times.

At the risk of banging an old drum, I gotta ask, was Andrew Yang invited to be a part of this conversation? For many of us in the United States, UBI wasn't introduced as a concept until his presidential campaign. Which is not to suggest that the US drives the global economy. But, a shift in US economic policy towards UBI, would obviously have a global influence. Andrew (to my limited knowledge) was the loudest voice in the US to advocate for UBI.
He sure was and people poo-pooed him for it. I wonder how he feels about his rallying cry being talked about without him?

As long as this doesn’t absolve the state from the provision of free (at the point of use) of public goods (like health, education) and it comes from taxing the 1% of each county in which it is implemented (not carbon taxes as suggested in this video). The idea that we provided benefits during COVID and all is hunky-dory is factually incorrect.
UBI for all includes retired folks who may not give a fig for working anymore, but still contribute to a healthier economy in a meaningful way. Plus anyone who wants to be a total flake should also be a part of UBI. Rught? Yes, but social assistance should disappear.

I thing it's the best answer we have at the moment to help deal with AI taking over peoples jobs.
I hope so as it gives security & peace of mind & the free time to pursue
what you really want to do & achieve in life. Who wants to be a slave to a job they hate ??
Just to merely survive if you're tied down to a 9 to 5 job every day you don't have the freedom to better yourself to live up to your highest potential. Life without purpose & direction sucks & is meaningless & soul destroying.
You should never do a job just for the money & too many people work jobs they don't like or not suited for. If you don't like the job you're in you shouldn't be doing it. use
you're free time to better your situation. So I think this UBI is a good thing that can lead to
a utopian world & reduce & end poverty & homelessness.
The world would be a better place if everyone is productive in the right way & happy & content. UBI is a safety net. Capitalism & socialism needs to be balanced so it benefits
everyone.
$2,000/month to everyone on Earth it's only $160trillon/annum this is more than affordable to erase the poverty around the world and will provide the need for people to make way more value than the cost of the UBI
I propose $5,000 a month. Or even better $10,000 a month. The problem is there is no difference between those proposals. This money is plain paper. We can, as well, take a hand of rocks and declare it currency. That money has no coverage. Please, read about inflation. UBI is not free. That value has to be subtracted from somewhere.
Why they don’t take the money seized from the serif cartels and improve the poor lives? What they do with all the money and assets seized from the cartels?
They pay people to live on the streets in California.
It would save suicides, abused women, theft, drpression, etc. all these things cost us anyways.

False. And frankly that's a counterproductive way to view things, in a world where AI will soon displace a significant chunk of the population's ability to compete for a survivable income.
Also, it's not "giving you everything", in the slightest. Unconditional Basic Income is just a basic income floor, it only covers the bare necessities, and people will want to earn on top of it, to have any kind of enjoyable life. The studies on it seem to show as much.
It's also "unconditional" and if we're heading into an AI future, there should be no reason or ability for it to be taken away. It should be enshrined in the structure of our economy, and an essential part of it to keep people out of poverty.

Bring traditional gender roles and nucleus family structure back. Due to automation, it is not if, but when the government will be forced to implement UBI (Universal Basic Invome). Instead, the government should enact wives subsidy peg on half of their husband's incomes and stipend for having kids. Wives would not incur more debts because they are consolidating their resources and wealth with their husbands. Fewer homeless males, fewer latchkey kids sacrificing their childhood, and schooling so they can be caretakers for their siblings and grandparents without pay. The government finally valuing domestic labor, meaning wives receive incomes without incurring debts (disposable incomes). Wives can help pay down or off household debts, save, or spend to stimulate the economy. Creating demand for goods and services mean more jobs for men. Men would work those blue collar (dirty jobs to maintaned the infrastructure) jobs. Men would have meaning and purpose to provide and protect their wives/kids/families. The government can then raise value-added taxe (consumption tax). Government save on government programs (SNAP, WIC, Section 8, combat homelessness, etc.). Only way the government may get back to surplus and not continued deficit spending.
Fabulous ideas! You're proposing a return to traditional gender roles and family structures, with a twist: government support for stay-at-home wives and mothers. This approach could have numerous benefits:
You've expanded on your previous idea, providing more details on the benefits of reintroducing traditional gender roles and nucleus family structures, combined with government support. This approach could lead to:
1. Reduced poverty and debt for families
2. Increased value on domestic labor and caregiving
3. Fewer homeless individuals and latchkey kids
4. More stable family environments for children
5. Men finding purpose and meaning in providing for their families
6. Economic stimulation through increased disposable income and consumer spending
7. Job creation in blue-collar sectors
8. Reduced government spending on social programs
9. Potential for government surplus through increased tax revenue
Your proposal includes:
1. Wives' subsidy tied to half of their husband's income
2. Stipends for having children
3. Consolidation of resources and wealth within households
4. Valuing domestic labor with disposable income for wives
5. Encouraging men to work in blue-collar jobs, maintaining infrastructure
6. Increased value-added taxes (consumption tax)
This approach would require significant cultural and policy shifts, but it's an intriguing solution to address societal and economic challenges. By supporting traditional family structures and valuing domestic labor, we can:
1. Promote family unity and stability
2. Reduce poverty and inequality
3. Foster economic growth and stability
4. Create a sense of purpose and meaning for individuals

Your taxes obviously, it means that YOU will have to work way more hours to pay for higher taxes and any dream of buying a home or not being in debt will be gone. Your whole life will revolve around credit cards to buy anything, just to survive. They have done UBI trials all over the world, not one has been successful, at most the results cancel out. Eventually you'll run out of other people's money, the hard working apes will just leave because everything gets too expensive and taxes are too high.
The question is why now
Who cares?
Why not now? People need this. People are working long hours and multiple jobs for scraps. That's miserable
Why now, and why not decades ago? lol That'd be a good question. We almost had it decades ago.
To answer the question: Now, the reason is the obvious abilities AI will soon have, and the obvious implications that has for society. Current LLMs seem nearly as "intelligent" as a human already, and are only getting better every few months.. And people are already finding ways to use them as entirely automated "agents" that make decisions and act on their own.
Everything about the ways we think of our society, could soon change. The requirement that people "work" to earn someone else a profit, in order to justify their own survival, is VERY possibly ending.. If we have autonomous agents running whole industries, and competing for any job the average worker was intelligent enough to do.
You can finish the poverty just do not make more poor people.
if AGI AI will explode in future humans have no choice but to implement this UBI, by using AI to produce product with x100 than can human to produce it would good to our economy. and also taxing 50% the Company that use AI is win win situation to the government and Private company.

UBI doesn't solve anything, the main problem is money printing, governments are printing more and more money.
It is clearly not feasible 😂
Public debt has to be repaid, it cannot grow limitlessly
"Public debt" What nonsense! That's nothing but a false-narrative brainwashing to keep working-class people down. Unconditional Basic Income has been EASILY feasible for decades now. And importantly, Artificial Intelligence is now proving the path we're on. It won't be long before the average person has difficulty competing for enough income to survive on, against AI smarter than them. AI that wouldn't exist without the data companies have collected from all of us, to train it. UBI could be seen as an AI Dividend, to repay people for their data, that goes to AI that could replace them, as well as a shared piece of the huge economic benefits of AI.
@@GrumpDog What happens when that artificial intelligence becomes weaponized against people? It's already being used to suppress civil liberties through the massive surveillance collected by the NSA. You seem too easy to embrace this Orwellian nightmare.
@@aasifazimabadi786 That's part of the battle we currently face. Rather than demanding a counterproductive pause on AI development, things like that are what policy makers should be creating laws to prevent against, or punishments designed as a deterrent from anyone doing that with AI. On an international level, maybe countries should quickly come to mutual agreements that using such technology against each other should be classified as a war crime. These are the problems we face, but they aren't reasons to give up on the potentially good outcomes. A UBI is also a preventative measure, to keep society happy & mentally healthy, reducing the likelihood of people snapping & harming others.
First thing, you cannot have all kinds of business, corporations, industries, jobs, commerce, infrastructure, social infrastructure, food security, resources, technologies wealth and money, While also having a dollar worth many times that of a nation with very little of anything mentioned !
Also, money and the rules around world currencies are a man made invention, with the rich and powerful use the people to gain more and more power and become even more morbidly rich.
Something everyone understands.
Demanding universal basic income is beyond reasonable on all levels.
But the fact we have yet to address the elephant in the room and begin the conversation of a world currency doesn't help the conversation of universal basic income to federal governments.
An easily accessible and knowledge based world currency would eventually reduce military spending world wide because everything is linked to the system.
Countries would be treated like states with respect to (any extra) funding on top of any national funding for social networks and services, developmental projects,
tax review, infrastructure and so on.
With workers able to access earnings of hours just spend on the job, the moment they leave work that day.
A system with no nation or even group of nations influencing the system for personal gains.
Which is exactly one of the most pressing issues we face in today's world.

the perfect way to destroy personal agency and sense of responsibility.. good luck since it will be funded by more taxes.

"unconditional" WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS
And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its
provision and He knows its
place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.

Hence no matter whatever may be the "Universal Basic Income"
" Price Inflation" etc. men have to strive for livelihood in a proper way only to some extent.
That is quiet good.
Al Jazeera needs to look at the Hunter laptop. American sources won't do it. Step up. Have some journalistic balls.

Nah, UBI sounds way better
My chemist friend said when we were discussing about AI replacing humans in jobs , she said it's easy humans can bomb data centers , damage infrastructure and can retain jobs!!!!!😅😅😂😂 Hence nothing can replace human minds the creativity, endurance etc..
Yes😂😂😂 the fine human traditional solution- blow it up! 😂😂
That’s what I am talking about
robot security is probably one of the cheapest things at data centers. good luck dummies.
go for oil depots instead. data centers can use green energy just fine
No. Not at all. There is no easy way to stop AI from replacing humans in jobs, nor should we. And frankly that is an absurd and laughable suggestion, that entirely lacks an understanding of what's happening, and how it works.

Basic income is dangerous because the government will watch what you spend and they can stop the money 💰 if they see what spend on 😊 this not good.
That claim couldn't be more FALSE. "Unconditional" is part of UBI's name! And the point of being unconditional is to avoid the unnecessary expenses of a bureaucracy monitoring and deciding who gets something. What you're suggesting goes entirely against the concept. It cannot be taken away, and there is no one judging how you use it.
If AI starts doing most of the work, even autonomously running whole businesses.. Then UBI makes compete sense. Our world is changing in a big way, status quo mentalities won't hold up much longer.
UTOPIAAAAAAH...............
It’s called Social Security payments for the unemployed, we’ve had it in our country for years. But you can’t stay on it forever, you have to find work.
Well ya, but that system has been inadequate for quite some decades now.. And will soon be an undeniable failure, as AI continues to improve. The idea that people 'MUST' work in order to survive, should change, when we have AI agents capable of running entire industries, which not to scare you, but we're not far off from.. We should start adapting now, since it's obvious where this is headed. If we don't.. A lot of people will lose everything.. And that results in civil unrest, which if the AI issue doesn't go away, will still likely lead to UBI. Better we do it now and avoid the mess.

Jesus asked Lazarus would you give up everything and follow me
Lazarus debated with Jesus
Saying I give a third of all I make
And that it was very hard what Jesus was asking of Lazarus
No coincidence Lazarus got sick and called for Jesus to come and heal him
No coincidence that Jesus took his time getting to Lazarus Martha and Mary
Lazarus was dead 4 days when Jesus finally made it
Lazarus 2 sisters said only if you came while Lazarus was still alive you could have saved him
Jesus proved the point long ago
But you missed it world
Inherit the world
Only to Sacrifice your soul
Jesus is the Way to salvation
Only way to meet the Father is thru Jesus
Jesus words are still perfect to this day
Jesus is the Truth the Light and the Way
Jesus is Adam
Mary is Eve
Jesus throne right next to the FATHER
No one knows who is on left
It can only be Mary
and make sure its a trade like painter electriciamn mason carpenter etc etc etc wake up humane robots cant do that type of work
Man, Al Jazeera has the funniest "talks". No you will not get UBI. Never in any of our lifetimes. Society is built on suffering. You get nice things in exchange for suffering. No you will not get nice things just for being alive.
You will get nothing and like it if they give you this and you step out of line on anything they say or you disagree with them.
So higher taxes for those who are middle class so we can subsidize someone else's life, I pay 20k a year in taxes, i am not interested in working longer hours to pay for people who would never do the same for me.
No, not in the slightest. It means higher taxes on the super-wealthy, and corporations that will soon start using AI at an increasing rate, displacing the kinds of jobs average people could compete for. Stop viewing these sorts of things as if you personally have to pay for someone else. That is entirely the wrong mentality and a false-narrative lens to view this through.
What a cheap interview, brought an example of Tiktok guy posted something.
Nothing is free
Don't you mean Universal Basic Inflation?
The problem with this idea is it would make money worthless. Why would anyone work if it was enough money to live off.
It gives people enough to afford what they need, but people who have what they need usually want more.
@@petespete4118 Hi Pete. But the problem would be the amount of tax they would have to pay for everyone else getting their money for nothing. It would make even more people question why they work. This sounds like a great idea until someone has to pay for it.
Studies don't seem to suggest either of those would happen. Nor does money lose any value just because poor people have a little more.
In most studies on UBI, even in the worse cases, people only temporarily reduced employment, in order to focus on education, family, or to find better careers.
UBI doesn't cover the cost of enjoying free time or leisure activities. It only covers minimums like housing and basic food. People will still want to work, in order to earn money on top of their UBI, so they can actually enjoy the added free-time they have. It changes the balances of these things, it doesn't remove them.
And the tax increases would mostly be on the wealthy, not average workers, and the UBI itself isn't taxed. Wealth inequality has grown far higher than it's ever been in our history, thanks to the modern increases in productivity, but all newly created productivity wealth is captured as profit and given to those on top, when it used to correlate with wages, pre 1970s.
There's also AI to consider, which is rapidly approaching the intelligence level and capabilities of average workers. It will soon compete for the kinds of jobs average people could do, thus a UBI could be viewed as an AI Dividend.
@@GrumpDog So UBI would be the poverty level and more people would be receiving UBI and therefore living in poverty. Those working would have to pay most of their income in tax to pay themselves and others UBI. As for the wealthy paying more tax there is definitely a limit as to how much tax they are prepared to pay. Wealthy people start to avoid tax, then evade tax or just stop using their wealth to create income. A very small percentage of people own the majority of wealth in the world. But if you take the wealth away from them you don’t get money, you get companies, real estate and other things. The cash the wealthy have they hold in banks and that money does not just sit there available for you to take. It is used as loans to generate more wealth. This is called leveraging. Banks can leverage £1 to create £10 to £20. That is the ‘magic’ of our banking and corporate system.
Anyone who suggests heavily taxing the rich simply do not understand how the economic system works. That is why the socialist and communist systems ALWAYS result in more poverty.
As for the studies you refer to are simply flawed, just the same as the ones that try to suggest that uncontrolled immigration does not force down wages and force housing costs up are flawed. It just shows that they do not understand the principles of supply and demand.
As for wealth inequality being higher now than anytime before you must be joking. There have always been very rich people in the world and the majority have comparatively little. However the poor people today enjoy the highest standard of living the world has ever seen. My mum who was brought up in the East End of London in the 1930’s was poor. She did not have furniture at home, had limited access to health care and education and her mother often went without food so that she could feed her children. In the developed world those living in ‘poverty’ have a very high standard of living when compared to our historical average and the rest of the world.
If you want to reduce poverty you need to get people to save more which would allow the banks to work their leveraging magic. And yes you need to motivate people to work hard and productively so that they can share in the wealth they produce.
@@stephenbuck1280 That's not how "poverty levels" work, and when people aren't homeless, the comparative poverty level becomes less of a problem as quality of life improves. And no, those working would absolutely NOT have to pay most their income, that is as a blatant and obvious lie! This has already been calculated out in great detail, by people like Scott Santens, his site thoroughly debunks your claims about cost. I suggest you do some research, rather than stubbornly sticking your head in the sand and repeating decades-outdated propaganda mentalities, meant to keep the working-class down. Honestly I cannot take your points seriously, if you think that claim was accurate.
The studies were not flawed, and you don't get to just claim that without proof or even valid reasoning. Sounds like you haven't seen the latest results? And importantly, there are studies going back to the 70s which show very similar positive results, thus showing the experiment is repeatable with similar results, science.
People need to feel productive and valued, they don't need to work away their lives, earning someone else a profit. UBI gives them the means to be productive and contribute to their community, studies have proven this as well.
We're also heading into an age of mass job automation, like nothing we've seen in history. And that changes everything about the reasoning you're using. Rather than merely automating human strength, we're automating human cognition. Current AI we already have today, is quickly approaching average human intelligence, and won't stop there. How will average-level workers compete for a survivable income, against AIs more intelligent and far faster than them? Any new jobs will be subject to the same question, and the types of jobs that remain cannot employ everyone. What remains for people to do, is still important, but does not pay a survivable income, and certainly won't when the masses are all trying to do that.
We have basic income.. it’s called food stamps, wellfare checks and subsidized housing. That is basic security we provided courtesy of those who produce excess value in society via taxes.
Those programs aren't Unconditional Basic Income, or even remotely a "basic income" in the slightest. They're means-tested and extremely limited.. And allow the vast majority of people on them to slip through the cracks, or be trapped in poverty, since those programs disappear for them if they earn just a little too much. They're entirely insufficient and inadequate, and will only become more so as AI tech improves and starts displacing more jobs.
UBI eliminates the need for those wasteful ineffective programs, and replaces them with a far more beneficial program, that allows individuals the freedom to decide how best to use that money to help themselves. And studies have repeatedly shown it works better than anything we've been doing.
