Basic income will be divine, "A basic income is a periodic cash payment unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without means-test or work requirement."

They will not be alright, they also, will want to go to higher income.

Money represents whatever is important to society as a culture. And Culture-is-ah-changin!

I started using Steemit last year for blogging and posted two stories and quickly lost interest. I was initially attracted by some people I follow on Facebook. I wasn’t interested in the Cryptocurrency or block chain. I just wanted, and still want people to hear/read my ideas to solve the the biggest problems facing Americans today. Healthcare Costs, The Corruption Of Congress (Lack of Adequate numbers of representatives) and the Military Industrial Complex. Everything else is just a symptom of the three problems. (Immigration is not a […]

I think many people are willing to be entrepreneurs given no other option, but a lot of those […]

A Universal Basic Income is basically a kind of social security scheme in which a person is guaranteed a minimum monthly income which he/she gets from the government. Many social commentators and economists have hailed UBI as the next great idea for social revolution. The Economic Survey of 2016-17 has laid down a vision for implementing the Universal Basic Scheme and has even quoted the Mahatma to sell the concept of the welfare of the poorest and weakest person in society. The UBI aims to replace the existing network of subsidies and other government schemes with the aim to […]

The recent demonetisation has spurred the fears of decreased demand, i.e. low circulation of money supply as one of its effects, especially by the erstwhile hoarders of black money. Lower money supply can impact GDP growth by reduced consumption expenditure in the near term as there is a temporary liquidity crunch because of the government strictures. The government and the banking system might accumulate a huge sum of deposits (depends on how much old currency is not exchanged). We are facing a serious threat of low consumption expenditure, the signals of which are already in the air. So, how […]

Labor’s universal basic income is extremely flawed, as they’ve missed the fundamental points. Instead of using it to replace the welfare system wholesale, an intelligent tax solution will see us take the next step.

Dear Chris Bowen,

I have, for the last month, been thinking about your comments regarding the idea of a Universal Basic Income, and about how I might reply to your concerns that the UBI would not achieve what its proponents suggest it will.In short, I believe you have misunderstood the basic tenets of a UBI.Further, I believe it is time for the Labor Party to […]
