I am all for basic income. Lazy argument sucks and its not true.

The real question is how a society can afford it ?

Hi Shogu, thanks.

The most important question is not whether we're able to afford it because we're not eating and consuming MONEY, but we're eating FOOD and consuming GOODS - BOTH of them are available sufficiently to fill EVERYONE'S stomach and to provide EVERYONE with goods. The world belongs to all of us during our life. The only reason why the supply of food and goods are restricted to potential customers only is for a minority of people to make incredible crazy amounts of money.

@halo2pc Yes i know i cant eat money, but how would you actually redistribute basic income ?

I guess you meant with money so they must come from somewhere ...

@shogu666 "how [...] society can afford it"

Firstly, with everyone receiving a Basic Income, society could more-readily charge individuals for negative externalities. Society gains wealth in two ways from this: 1. people change their behaviors to reduce their fines; 2. some of the money individuals receive as Basic Income is collected back by the government in the form of fines for bad behavior.

.

In other words, Basic Income doesn't necessarily cost as much as it might appear to on its face.

Wunderbare Erklärung #BGE #UBI

What a great idea! It solves many problems that capitalism creates. This sounds similar to the “resource based economy” proposed by “The Venus Project”. My country, USA, could learn a few things from you.

@mrscot "This sounds similar to the “resource based economy” proposed by “The Venus Project”."

The Venus Project seeks to implement the exact opposite of Basic Income.

The money/property system is the ROOT of all problems. Luckily it is all fake and it won't requre everyone to get it. Here are some question everyone should answer.

1. Is the minimum requirement of whichever 'system' to make sure EVERY person has the basic necessities of life provided?

2. Do we have the resources and technology to acheive #1 worldwide?

3. Which system is best? And how do we get there?

Unconditional basic income is a solution to our problems in this world such as hunger, poverty, sickness, child abuse and more. Professionals would work for the enjoyment of the occupation and would receive all their basic needs be met including entertainment that would not feed upon the helpless such as pornography and sex.

Weiter Vorteile! derzeit wird der Steuerverlust durch Schwarzarbeit auf 72 milliarden Euro pro Jahr geschätzt. Der Verlust durch kauf von Plagiaten (Fälschungen) auf 35 Milliarden pro Jahr ;)

Natürlich sollte das Jahr für beide Geschlechter sein, auch eine Anregung zur Berufsfindung ? Ich bin für das BGE !

[Scapa34]

Sehr gutes Video, könnte man evtl. über ein soziales Jahr - anstatt Bundeswehr auch nachdenken ?

[GrundeinkommenJetzt]

Ich finde das Video auch gut. Mir gefällt vor allem dass du Beispiele aus dem täglichen Leben genommen hast um die Vorteile eines bGE zu begründen. Weiter so :)

[Skorbi09]

Very good your video!

[bgenymous]

Super, dass du dir Gedanken machst über die Vorteile des bGE´s. Das Leben neu denken im Licht des bGE´s ist garnicht so einfach, weil es schwer fällt, die Scheuklappen fallen zu lassen. Danke, du hast mich wieder zum Nachdenken gebracht.
