Basic Income

>what's preventing someone from keeping a false residency/citizenship in a basic income country, while living in a 3rd world shithole and having the money wired to you?

Nothing probably unless they keep track of all money transfers. Even then cash could be used to buy bitcoins from a seller who transfers them to you. As long as there's a guy who can convert buttcoins into your local vacation spot's currency. If there's no evidence of you leaving your home country you can probably get away with it.

Pretty good summary there.

I generally agree with basic income, but I'm also worried that they're going to implement social programs once they realize that some retards are still throwing their money away. I think it would be ideal if we just took away all social assistance and cut a lot of free shit out.

the trick is that UBI should replace aid programs currently in place.

The only basic income I support is a universal consumption tax that includes a refund to a certain amount. Of course this includes establishment of all other taxes.

>Of course this includes establishment of all other taxes.
Fug, I mean abolishment

It's socialism, dude.

because those previous labor revolutions (which were very painful for many workers btw), did not involve a total displacement of all unskilled labor. I understand that it wont happen overnight and believe it is already happening and already causing problems for unskilled workers. People complain about the great decline of american manufacturing. That is totally bogus, US industrial output is increasing and is the highest its ever been. Those factiry jobs have been mostly replaced by lower paying, shitty service jobs for the most part and people are leaving the labor market. But theres a limit to how much those things can absorb.

This is retarded. If basic income is guaranteed, why should I work? Why should anyone do anything at all?

Basic income is ethically degenerate. It allows people to get paid for doing nothing. A society full of people doing nothing and still getting paid is a society that cannot function and will destroy itself.

Basic Income is not viable economically. Literally everyone would have to pay really high taxes. This would destroy the economy. This would also destroy the incentives for people taking risks since there would no longer be any financial gain. It will be diminished with huge taxes. Why should someone spend all their effort, say inventing something, when they won't get anything more from it than they would just doing nothing.

This is how I feel as well. UBI doesn't make sense to me if it's just an additional welfare program. Streamlining the whole process is supposed to be the big get from switching to UBI.

Getting rid of an addiction is painful, doesn't mean it's bad.

Do you even know how much the agricultural revolution displaced people? And again you're contradicting yourself, if you agree it won't happen overnight then it won't be a total displacement. It'll be bits here, more bits in the future and so on. So you've nothing to worry about.
