Don't know how many of you have heard about the small trial of this? Its only a few people but they are given a no questions asked payment of £1600pm for two years on the trial.
I am sure I am not the old one whi thinks this would massivley change their life? I work 38 hours a week and only take home about £1850pm, and every one of those hours is a total slog and a battle againt ASD. I would take 6 months-1 year off and then probably do some voulenteer work doing something I love. Sadly I can't see it coming in any time soon but his would be a game changer for anybody with mental heath issues and physical disabilities. Of course that works as long as there is not massive inflation to go with it and prices remain stable.
What are your thoughts?

It is slavery... in two ways ...You are paid by the state so you are utterly beholden to the state - they own you.
Those who actually work to pay this ... they are required to work and hand over the fruits of their labour, so others can live without working. Those paying have no choice in paying ... it is slavery.
Your a slave if you wok to pay it, and you are a slave if you receive it.
UBI is a humanitarian catastrophe with the only purpose being the massive expansion of the power of the state.
The argument is that all individuals become shareholders of the atate.
The findings, counterintuitive as rhey might seem, is that most people do prefer to work once tbe fear of destitution is gone.
No doubt the suoer rich will find a way to make UBI of alavery though.
Are shareholders in a company or a cooperative slaves?
I dobt think it's the same. A sysrem lime thus cozls abolish welfare, where rhose beholden do get a bad rime.
If you are a shareholder in the state, the state belongs to you and is subject to your will. If the state is your primary provider, you are utterly beholden to the state.
The issue being, once you enter into slavery like this, there is no route out.
