I would never interested to hear your thoughts on UBI. In my mind it seems similar to Minimum Wage - which had seen as you described…incorrectly assuming that is what inexperienced new workers get. Now I am wondering if UBI is a variation of empowerment and if that ends up being an invisible hand that distorts the system. Thank you for all the mental floss!
Oh I'm not a fan, actually! I made two videos on my TikTok about it, I'll share to instagram now. But basically I think it is a marketing campaign to make people feel better about giving money to poor people and not calling it welfare. It doesn't get at the heart of a lot of economic problems that need specific solutions, not just some cash.
