i wouldnt be surprised if the gov actually lowered it to suckle in even more tax that then then end up pissing away anyway

> the uk has a tax free allowance of 12k i think, how about instead of doing UBI, just raise that up to 24k or something, inflation-match it to compensate for the fiscal drag etc

good proposal

In the UK people get all kinds of benefits for different things, would UBI just be, in essence , a top up to that?

i mean really, shouldnt ubi be something for people who lost their jobs to AI or something, as opposed to another welfare payment with a different name?

the uk has a tax free allowance of 12k i think, how about instead of doing UBI, just raise that up to 24k or something, inflation-match it to compensate for the fiscal drag etc

the result is that the person still has more money to spend and feels better

im sure the govs will find a way to fuck it up , however they do it
