Even if on one hand the UBI sounds like the solution to stop poverty (and it probably is).
My question would be: What means a UBI for a society raised by working 40 hours?
Is it that simple to just pay people for not working or does the mindset/consciousness have to be changed before?
In my opinion the problem for monetary inequality is the way we consume. It is not about how can my consumption please me and my neighbour. Most of the time it is about feeding greed without thinking about how our consumption influences the world around us.
When Im spinning the idea of UBI in my head I see a western world even more attached to big corporations that create and fill the wants of a sick society. The money wont go where it benefits the one who need it. It will stay in the cycle of big corporations.
Just my two cents. Thanks for the depth article!
I agree somehow, UBI and all the stuff is utopia just to dream about, and is unreachable even in 30 years.

We didn't always consider 40 hours as "full-time." Imagine going back in time to that discussion. Would you ask the same question of a society used to working 60 hours?

Of course, it is even thinkable just because of the golden age of tech and socialism-based approaches.
