Opinion of Universal Basic Income

[Shadows]

I am opposed to this idea. I think this idea should be debate rationally when robots & automation takes away most of the jobs with huge unemployment impossible to rectify, where UBI is necessary to even sustain society & law n order or to curtail huge poverty. We are yet to see how automation plays out, maybe it will create more tech jobs than anticipated similar to when Computers & other tech inventions came.

If that point every comes, we probably to have seriously debate UBI, not now with unemployment less than 5%. The target here is to increase participation in the labor market & ofcourse to raise wages for the bottom half of the population which is struggling in a system where the gains go to the top few. The situation to discuss or implement UBI is not now !
