   I wonder how many people realise that libertarian Universal Basic Income (dismantle every welfare system, make the poor buy privatised services using their UBI allowance) and socialist UBI (supplement existing welfare systems with UBI) are very very different proposals and that the libertarian one would put us in a much much worse situation than where we are today

     @audunmb @baldur we should aim to remove more things from being mediated by money, but in the meantime, more money for poor people please.

     @baldur UBI would end up as libertarian in most cases, unless you nearly dismantle capitalism first. And if you do that, you don't really need UBI as such...
