Also does anyone have a way to turn threads into something I can download, so they don’t get deleted?

      Most red support the welfare state under capitalism, as espoused by Clement Attlee, Jeremy Corbyn, etc.

      Why should we persuaded to suddenly extend it to employed people?

      That’s all UBI people want to do when you strip away the fancy terminology and American Thought: give people with jobs the dole.

      What’s the argument in favour of giving people with jobs the dole?

        The argument for it is the results as presented in those 91 research articles i linked.
        If you wanna argue with someone about uni, argue with the dude that compiled those articles, I’m barely thru the first few of them.

          A pilot study where a group of people are given money tells us nothing about the effects on the economy of UBI. How will it increase tax? How will salaries adjust?

          Looking at the 91 research articles, half of them don’t even claim to be about UBI. They don’t mention UBI. They are studies on direct cash transfers which is a different thing.
