Whoa, he has some ability to realize what he has taken part in creating.

    Wouldn’t UBI improve working conditions because companies that had bad working conditions would find themselves unable to attract workers and thus go bankrupt because they couldn’t make money because they didn’t have any workers? I can’t tell if your comment is for or against basic income.

      It absolutely would improve working conditions, competition, and innovation. Right now everything is up to the whims of the capitalists and so there is no free market.
