    Default Universal Basic Income

    A concept that's been around for decades but support for it seems to have picked up in the last few years.

    I don't think such a thing is feasible.

    I know that machines are taking over a lot of the jobs that the poor would generally do, basically factory work that can be automated. As a result more are struggling to find work that they can survive on, but there are huge problems with this kind of proposal.

    How the hell would countries pay for it and if you're guaranteed an income that you can live on to some degree of comfort then there is less of an incentive to work.

    Any one have thoughts on this
