Universal Basic income

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?

  • £1600 per month x 45 million adults in the UK = a new cost of £864bn per year.

    In the last financial year, total UK tax revenue was £1,017bn.

    So you'd need to increase taxes by 85% to pay for this. Who would bother working in this scenario? And then how would the UBI be funded?

  • I strongly suspect that aside from NGO’s, UBI’s main source of funding is the WEF and the world bank, not the U.K. taxpayer - and at some future point, the WEF will want its money back with interest, forcing national governments to implement their policies regardless of how it affects the citizens of those nations - aside from the U.K., it’s totally obvious that the Irish government is bought and paid for by the WEF as leaders are selected not elected, problem reaction solution, once freedoms are taken away they are never given back, democracy is an illusion, infiltration via the long March through the institutions - all politicians are pointless now and there is no political solutions 

  • There is no body or entity on the planet that could afford the trillions needed to pay people to do nothing.

    The only scenario in which UBI could realistically be implemented, would be if jobs were automated en-masse and the profits of that automated labour distributed.

    But then we'd have the 'idle hands are the devil's workshop' problem.

  • Obama made it all about Race.

    Many Black Americans are beginning to see through the Agenda. In 2020, a significantly greater number of Minority Groups voted for Trump. The 'election' of President Biden was a fraud.

    It's about depopulating the Entire World. People working for a system, and ideology, rather than for a living. Dependency, rather than productivity.
