Yes to a basic income.
Yes to shutting the borders entirely, otherwise it simply won't work.

Honestly, i think a basic income with other benefit programs removed will work. People with money will either invest or spend it. making business better. Those with less money will of course use it to have an easier life which means spending it. Gotta keep that money local and flowing.

I hope it won't pass by a margin soooo high nobody will try it again for 100 years.

But the leftists are sneaky, they present it like a minimum salary (like the SMIC in France), and the tv speaks like it's a minimum salary.
In fact it's an amount of money you are given if you don't make it by other means, it's a catastrophe because a lot of people are making less than 4k a month and a 2.8k guaranteed revenue is a no-brainer, you just stop working.
I mean, if I made 3.5k a month by working 45h per week and 4 weeks of vacation per year I'd just take the 2.8k for doing nothing, use our free universities to get a good major and come back when I can have a 10k salary. The issue with that is, we can't all be touching ourselves in the third sector, we need low qualif jobs, and a lot of people would just do nothing and drink/smoke instead of working...

Automatization and digitalization of western economies will decrease the amount of jobs available for the vast majority. Japan has understood this for a long time and this is why they are extremely anti-immigration since they don't see the need to import massive amounts of cheap labor and social problems with them just to become unemployed in the near future.

America and Europe on the other hand are near sighted on this issue. Partly or rather mostly because our economists and politicians aren't very bright tech-wise.

Exactly. There's no incentive to work. Workers will look to their countrymen and see they're making the same amount in wages as they would working for over half a month, and wonder: 'Why even work?'

Honestly, the rest of a typical workers wages can be earned with MARGINALLY less work doing menial shit online for payment.

Yes it is. Switzerland is already the most expensive country on earth and with basic income everything's going to get even more expensive. What's going to happen is that all the mountain Jews are going to take their monthly allowance and move to a cheaper country. It's going to be a huge money drain. Basic income is built on the idea that people are going to spend their money in their own country to stimulate the economy.

Imagine how many drug addicts and lazy neets are going to have free money? What the fuck do they spend their cash on? Drugs, fast food, and ugly slovenian women on chaturbate.

The only immediate return the local people would see is on fast food purchases. But by and large, most of that profit goes to corporate, which subsequently gets spread out amongst executives and shareholders.

The average person has proven time and time again, that they have an incredibly high bias towards frivolous spending. They don't make sound/prudent investments.

Why is it basketball americans are willing to spend gross amounts of money on running shoes, yet rarely, if ever invest in purchasing books. You know, books. Something that they can read, which subsequently makes them smarter, which then they start making better life choices, leading to better employment and an overall improvement in their quality of life.

So it's basically just a petition the government gets to veto but has to bring up.
>>
>>76067597
Haven't heard of this, got any more details?
>>
>>76066950
It's a bandaid to try and fix a looming problem with capitalist economies: All the money is sequestering in the hands of corporations, banks, etc. and the average person is getting less and less, and when the average person has little money to spend, they don't spend it on much.

In other words, the west is in a longstanding recession/depression with the root cause being stagnation of the economy because money isn't actually moving around, it's just being captured at the top.

Basic Income takes more money via taxes from the rich and corporations due to:
A. Extremely high income (corporations)
B. Progressive taxation (rich people)

While the unwashed masses largely have low income and lower taxation, and thus benefit more from the government GBI.

Part of the reason this is becoming necessary is simply due to the decoupling of human labour requirements involved in production. Within the century we will have production chains with virtually no human input whatsoever. That'll dramatically reduce costs on production to basically nothing, but creates a problem where the working class have to work to survive, but there is no work to actually be done.

A basic income would solve this situation and establish an economy where resource allocation is determined by the public at large, while changing day to day life very little.

Perhaps there are other solutions to the problem. The one I most often see shouted around here is, "kill all the unemployed". I'm sure that'll work out beautifully and won't result in the destruction of civil society as we know it nor cause any sort of serious strife or civil war.

People will work because they will want to consume more.

By reforming low-skilled McJobs into flexible-marketed temp jobs, people content largely to live on basic income can work a few hours a week at McDonalds to supplement their BI when they want to buy 3 new MacBooks. Given there's already a labour surplus, without factoring skill, this isn't going to lead to a labour crisis in the unskilled sector. Immigrants are the primary concern.
>>
On a similar note. Given that a huge amount of manual labor is set to obsolete within a few years, what will Europe do with its masses of uneducated, unemployed and unskilled refugees who can't find work?
>>
>>76067719

>>76067448
The whole point of basic income is to give money to people who aren't working.

The fundamental assumption is that they aren't working because automation has put them out of a job - and for the most part this is actually true, and becoming more true as time goes on.

>>76067482
This is a good point. With a basic income we can actually remove minimum wages, which would allow the average citizen to compete for work at prices that illegals simply cannot match. It should actually help put an end to the mass immigration we're experiencing, as the illegals and immigrants are a net drain on economies and the corporations can still get their 'slave' labour at cheap prices.

It would have to be combined with extremely tight corporate taxation laws so they can't just offshore all their money, though. Since corporations will end up footing most of the bill for the guaranteed basic income.

Sort of a backdoor way to get corporations to pay fair wages.

qe also distorts pricing, but most of the money still ends up going to semi-productive industry in some capacity or another.

BI does two things wrong:
1. no consumption floor
2. no savings
3. productive investment can't be derived from above savings because citizens spend ALL money, and ALL their money comes from tax revenue. it's central allocation
4. distributive power of currency doesn't belong to those with market information (e.g. knowledge of productive industry
5. ZERO SUM MONEY SUPPLY: kim kardashian implants will make more money than cancer research. that's bad

You don't understand, if you work at mcshit 10 hours it won't buy your macbook, it will be useless because the basic revenue is not due, it's a compensation if you don't make that much.

You don't give 3k per inhabitant, you give xk to people not making 3k so that in total they have 3k. It means if i make 3.2k and this passes I don't have 6.2k, I still have 3.2k but if I go from 45h per week to 0 i lose only 0.2k.

ireland, can you read a basic econ textbook before acting like you know something, you fuckhead

money is made by efficiency. companies that are more efficient, make more money. investors make money by being smart, and CHOOSING companies that are efficient, and giving them more money than they have in pure profits so that they can be MORE efficient than otherwise.

THIS is why capitalism works. THIS is why central allocation is ALWAYS poorer.

by artificially handing money to people who didn't earn it, they spend on stupid shit that's unnecessary (why welfare fails) and then the money is held by companies that don't fundamentally offer EFFICIENCY. when LESS money gets into the hands of investors, there is LESS investment in efficient industry.

If basic income is conditional, it's not basic income.

If you're making say - 10k, and the basic income is 10k, you should be getting 10k extra taking your total to 20k. Otherwise the proposal isn't really basic income at all.

Nope. It just means there will be a certain percentage of population unironically living a dead-end NEET existence until death because the light never goes on for them to start to aspire and strive for something. They won't be remarkable philosophers or artists. They'll spend their life playing video games, fighting depression, and complaining about the opposite sex. Then death. You see, any achievement requires aspiring and striving. The vast majority of NEETs are by nature the opposite of that, and that's precisely why they are NEETs. They are incapable of striving, for one reason or another. I'm sure they rate themselves as Renaissance philosophers, but in reality they are just weak and incompetent people who can't get anything done.

When politics do things in their own interests the people just says no. And we don't have a king like in France or the US that does whatever the fuck he wants and when the senate says no he has a bullshit law or constitutional article to still do what he wants.

Corporations, for the most part.

There'll have to be tax law changes to prevent them trying to just offshore all their money (should be implemented anyways desu)

but basically, the corporations are the only ones with any money left to take to begin with, so it's either take it and redistribute it around the economy to keep the economy functioning, or just let it all collapse as corporate jews refuse to pay their employees but suddenly find they can't sell any goods because nobody else is paying their employees either, and now everyone's customers lack money to spend on any of the goods or services being offered.

Basically it's a way of saving corporations and the economy at large from their own wanton greed.

further, societal models can be built around "trying to do shit better" or "Stopping bad people from doing bad shit." capitalism is the former. saddam's iraq was the latter. UBI does NEITHER.

If current financial system is kept it is going to replace welfare programs and would cost around the same. There was a study done that someone posted a few months ago I'll try to find it.
The idea is that it is cheaper and fairer to just give everyone the same amount of money rather than find yourself with some people becoming very good at abusing welfare and the bureaucratic system in place to receive lets say 5k$ a month and some starving on the streets because they either feel guilty about using welfare or just don't know how it works.

Homogenous in a different way.
We are generaly all "rich" (big middle-upper class), the median salary is >6k, we are all educated and we are all patriotic.

The immigration issue is not the importation of foreign ethnicities and languages, as you demonstrated we can deal with thoses, the issue is that we import lower educated people with no incentive to defend our values. So the only thing we have in common is the salary and it gets lower and lower, we no longer defend the same goals, no longer have the same intelligence and education and they don't expect to build a great nation, they just want to profit from it.

Ive seen his videos on them before, was good to have a quick refresh in my mind.

Again, i agree that the negative income tax system is probably infinitely superior to the current welfare system in that it incentivizes work and does strip you of 10X benefits when you only make 5X. This issue i have with it is again, if it is a guaranteed income of eg 10k like your previous chart, just how many in society will drop out and become permanent welfare leeches, content to live off that. I know we have welfare leeches now but such a system would be like saying here, have a guaranteed income instead of jumping through all these rings to get it and then plenty more to stay on it.

I have a lot less faith in my fellow man than others do. I would like to think that we as people will always strive for more and not be content with such a pittance but having grown up the child to immigrant parents and seen other families content to live in squalor as long as its free i really am skeptical.

Basic income proposals are the final acts of a government preparing to jump ship. Ensure a guaranteed base of economically illiterate voters, and pad their wallets with enough soon-to-be-worthless currency long enough to convert the wealthy's reserves of cash and metals into a currency with a future. Finally, internationalist plants will rise up to convince the failed economy that the only way to recover any semblance of former life and prosperity is to submit to globalist, collectivist regulations.

Why are they calling it basic income then though? Basic income is supposed to be for EVERYONE, regardless of their own income... That's the way I always understood it anyway: That if I make €1500,-/month and my boss makes €4500,-/month, and a basic income of 500 is introduced, that my income will than be €1500 wages + € 500,- basic, and my boss's income €4500,- wages+ €500 basic.

Otherwise there indeed isn't any incentive to work for the lowest income brackets.. It should be an extra for everybody. If they'd introduced this in NL, and subsequently cut all the income based subsidies, welfare, premiums etc, it would likely actually be cheaper than the bureaucratic system we have now, as currently everyone is entitled to some kind of premium or subsidy, be it for heathcare, children or rent.. A flat rate for all would be cheaper because it would make enforcement, checkups and calculations of eligibility unnecessary.

Yep. Our Green Party suggested something similar in the UK.

They were going to take the entire £250bn social welfare and pensions budget and redistribute it.

Until... they started arguing about single mothers. So they said "okay, single mothers get more money". Then they started arguing about Housing Benefit. So they said "okay, we need to give more money to designated poor people" and so on and so on until the final model ended up doubling the social welfare and pensions budget.

Also worth noting, this UBI model would provide £3846 per year to everyone in the UK, or £4807 if we just paid it to adults.

That's not even near minimum wage. The cheapest council house rents are barely covered by the latter.

UBI requires a magic source of money, which if we had access to, we'd already be exploiting.

So basically, every 5 years, leftists try to pass that kind of bullshit, it will fail, they'll say that "people didn't understand us" and try again later.
The left here always blame their failure on others, either the people for not understanding, or other parties for disrupting their stance.
And the saddest part is that the majority of the left is in the french part of Switzerland.
Without it, we could truly become a paradise.

I'm kind of playing devil's advocate here.
I'm completely neutral about the subject. But claiming it has no theoretical good sides is retarded. It would make sense if we lived in a perfect world in which no one would "fraud" or egoistically exploit that system, the question now is to know wether or not Switzerland is good enough to make it work.

By using the money that would usually go toward the now useless welfare programs and raising the taxes on various products a bit.

you need to specify waste for idiots like him

the government prints money, and WHO ends up with it?

OH DRUG DEALERS and WHOTES. and what do drug dealers and WHORES spend their money on? GUNS, DRUGS and HITS.

I'm willing to make a bet that out of the trillions venezuela wasted, very LITTLE of it went to things like technology or medecine.

that's what EFFICIENCY means.

if they're starving legitimately, I bet you more of their incme will go to technology and medecine instead of drugs.

Doesn't really make sense. Our kings (aka presidents) aren't that important. The country will be emotional, at worst. It's the rest of the government and congress/senate/parliament that matters.

In France, if you kill the prime minister + some important ministers (police, defense, justice?) you will really fuck up the decision making. And more like you fucked the proposition making, the decisions are done at last by the parliament and senate.
Then it's only state law. A Mayor can do what he wants in his city if it doesn't go against state law. We have far right mayor that arm their local police officers, the state can't do shit about that and only leftists complain.
See how long Belgium lived with no government some year ago.

Your right about the rest, what you have in Switzerland is not a tool to make decision, but to make decision better suiting the citizen because direct.

2500 francs is a lot, but if the payout is a bit lower it's not hard to imagine that it'll be cheaper than their current welfare sysytem.. The main reason welfare is so expensive, is because it's a collective system that can only be relied upon by individuals that are eligible. Which requires civil servants to enforce the conditions, to check up the eligibility, to set the amounts and when a benefit is awarded, to regularly check up the criteria/eligibility to make sure people don't abuse the system. The same applies to subsidies for rent and healthcare, tax breaks etc.. If you do away with all of those 'if X than Y' type of policies, and replace it with 'everybody gets X, no exceptions' you can cut most of the overhead...

I can post the text and traduce it in english, it will help for further discussions:

"The constitution is modified like so:

Art. 110a Unconditionnal basic revenue
1. The confederation establishes an unconditionnal basic revenue.
2. The basic revenue must allow the entirety of the population to live an honorable (or worthy, not sure of the traduction) life and to take part in public life.
3. The law rules the financing and the amount of the basic revenue."

When we say unconditionnal it means that you can't, by any condition, go UNDER. It doesn't mean we give you the exact amount with no condition.
The initiative commity has a graph showing exactly that and they say only the poor will benefit from it.

They also say that it won't change anything in the employment market but they are leftists, they don't comprehend economics nore they comprehend that the incentive for low wage people to work is directly dependant on the fact they can't survive without....

Well then it's shit.

>the incentive for low wage people to work is directly dependant on the fact they can't survive without....
This doesn't explain [at least in our economy] 16 year olds and such working in supermarket jobs even though they're still dependent on their parents and squandering the money.

Reform the incentive for people to do low wage work by making it easier to dip in and out of [because minimum income is supporting them] and allow people to keep money earned by working while also getting their minimum income and you avoid the issue entirely.

Our previous federal government tried exactly that and fell flat on its face. 'Everybody gets X, no exceptions' leaves you with a very low common factor that won't cover the costs for welfare recipients who are dependent on special treatment, such as diabetics. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. To each according to his need, there's no way around it.

>Until... they started arguing about single mothers. So they said "okay, single mothers get more money". Then they started arguing about Housing Benefit. So they said "okay, we need to give more money to designated poor people" and so on and so on until the final model ended up doubling the social welfare and pensions budget.
Yeah that shit would need to go, doubt it's possible in the current political climate thought so it is bound to fail.
It does not need to be a huge amount, even if it was only 5000 it could probably allow someone not able to find a job a way to live (in bad conditions, maybe with some roomates or whatever) but since they would not have any luxuries it would give them an incentive to find work.

It's not a basic income if you don't get the income on top of what you make by working.

The entire point of doing it that way is to avoid a situation where people decide to stop working so they make more money (or slightly less) for less effort.

Instead, everyone makes the same x, and if you want more on top of that x, you work and whatever you get from work is completely independent of x.

I've already previously raised the case that people would work low-wage jobs [+BI] to consume more. [Smartphones+Hammered]

He was saying people only work those jobs out of necessity, which already isn't the case here and most certainly shouldn't be the case under any proper basic-income system.

We have mandatory health insurance in the Netherlands. People that need special treatments in terms of heathcare are covered by their insurance, unless they're idiots that break the law and would rather NOT be covered by insurance while paying fines that actually exceed the premiums for basic coverage.

There's still private land ownership and private means of production, so technically it's neither communism nor socialism. It's much closer to a welfare system in a capitalist country.

Won't happen.
Automation is a non-issue raised when there's noting to talk about.
Here, we have a different educational system to not be bothered with it.
If you're not a deadbeat, you can get a "Maturity" after finishing post-obligatory school.
This allows you to enter into university.
Or you can start a stage as an apprentice in a huge variety of field to get a "federal certificate of capacity". This can range from working in the medical field (nurse, etc) as doing manual labor (carpenter, etc).
This certificate allows you also to enter into university to specialize in your field.
This is the proof that the state recognize your capability and can also be used to work in other countries.
So yeah, again, the only loss automation could bring is foreigner or deadbeat, so nothing of value.
