@@OpiumBride the buy local thing is just anecdotal from my personal experience, but as for the "who will pay for it" question, it really just depends on the funding mechanism. For example, if you look at Andrew Yang's freedom dividend ($1000 a month, $12k a year), he funded it through a 10% VAT (a tax on consumption) on non essential goods - for reference, most European countries have around a 20% VAT. In the worst case scenario where businesses passed the full 10% onto their consumers, then you would have to spend $120,000 a year on non essential goods just to cancel out the UBI. Realistically speaking, they're probably not going pass the full VAT onto their customers since it would be bad for business, so the threshold for cancelling out would actually be much higher. Because of this, unless you're already super rich and/or are spending a lot of money on non essential items, you probably won't be losing any money under that particular plan Keep in mind though that Yang's plan is just one version of a UBI. I just used it as an example since it's one of, if not the most widely known UBI proposals

I don’t think there’s a clear divide, really. The social differences are economic; the ways and places that low versus high earners will spend money are very different. (For example: high earners will substitute their existing spending with the UBI, while lower earners will add new spending, meaning UBI to low earners stimulates the economy more than high earners.) But i think it’s politically easier to pass something truly universal, even if it economically isn’t as effective.

​@@deawinter I respectfully disagree. Social Policies are easier to pass them Economic Policies. And it´s not about been clever, but mature. Social policy in general means an aid (emergency or long term), for a specific part of the population. The whole idea is to fill the social gap with the rest of the population, may it be due to a Natural disaster, or Social segregation, which could be Income gap or any significative segregation... The aim is to integrate that part of the population into the main population, as soon as possible and then extinguish the aid. It´s easy to pass because it´s temporal, it´s public spent, and if the section of the population is narrow, it´s not that expensive. Economy Policies the aim is to shift or adapt to how your economy works, in general, it changes how contracts are made and how competitive your economy became. In general, it changes a sector(s) of the economy. in the specific case of automation, the message he wants to show is very clear... this is not a compensation to address low income or unemployed workers, it will not go away, nor it´s a social policy that can be lost if the conditions change. The concept is to have a fully automated nation, and the background is that anyone will be affected by it, as it´s like the infrastructure of the process. Like build a road, or a port... does not matter if you will be using that or not, that will affect you.

Not only that, but as demonstrated in this video, labour markets are shrinking across the globe due to automation, Yang sited truck drivers as a job field that would be over in a decade or so, it's only fair that a (small) share of profits from automating people, gets shared with people. Yang also sights Alaska, which has a form of dividend to residents as a good example, and this has been around for more than a decade without negative impact. One day, a computer will do your job, it will do my job, it will do 90% of our jobs, we really need to stop thinking about what's worked in the past and start thinking about how the economy will work when there are no jobs.

Fairly ethnocentric assumptions on the professor’s part tying South Korean basic income to privacy concerns. I’d appreciate the chance to hear her case more in detail, but it seems more like she’s applying an American lack of trust in institutions to the South Korean population and its government, rather than analyzing and rationalizing the policy from the South Korean perspective. After seeing how the Koreans willingly and effectively responded to COVID, it seems like they’re willing to give up small freedoms in exchange for effective institutions and programs that have tangible benefits.

The past admin was also under fire for egregious abuse of power, such as putting directors and actors on a media blacklist based on political affiliation, so I'd say there is very real risk if a similar administration came to power in the future.

No, the concept is not basic income but rather keeping the money within the system. She cannot give it out on chains but rather on local business who then pay more profittax or have the money to expand, resulting in increased economic activity. It is, in fact subsidicing the local economy by giving inhabitants more money too spend. IF you, f.e spend that money on Amazon, the money is barely taxed and send yout to and offshore account somewhere in the Caribean or Ierland. Basically the money leaves the local system which impoverished local communities.

Companies can either employ more people or pay existing employees more or pay their shareholders more dividends. More people get more money, which they spend. Existing employees may save that extra money in banks but then banks have more money to lend. More employed people means that more people can buy things. Shareholders, already as rich as they are, buy things that show off wealth. But even those things had to be manufactured somewhere. Oil subsidies allow oil companies to produce more because the losses that would occur without subsidies are covered. More production means more employees are needed.

I had never thought this was part of UBI program. I will vote for him next time.

Im korean in Korea. Support for Universal income for sure.

It took me a while to realise this, but UBI is basically just a redistribution of wealth from the rich to the poor. If you tax people equivalently, say $1000 a month and then give it back to them, then there is no point to the program. It only works because taxes are paid unequally. The higher your tax rate, the higher percentage of the of the program you are paying. Arguing that rich people shouldn't receive the money is foolish. All you are doing is increasing the complexity of the tax system. For rich people, the amount of money they receive is a tiny fraction of the money that they pay. Not giving it to them does nothing other than add paperwork. In this case, if the system is paid for with a levy on automation, then you are basically transferring money from large corporations to people. Since the corporations are owned unequally (with the rich owning more), then you are essentially transferring money from rich stock investors to poor non-investors. Of course, whether this is what you want to do is a lot to do with your philosophy on how societies should work. Should we be outright giving poor people money, or are there ways to present opportunities to poor people? My own personal feeling is that giving poor people money outright is actually a good idea. For society, money is the lubricant for growth. You limit growth by limiting the number of people who have access to money. Oddly, this is a very capitalistic notion -- capital is the basis of economic growth. The more people who have access to capital, the more efficient the system (the *opposite* of a centrally controlled economy). Even if some capital is wasted, making sure that people who can make use of it get their hands on it helps everyone. It's a bit unfortunate that most people with a lot of money tend to dislike this idea because for them owning a larger piece of a smaller pie is more important. Once you get beyond your basic needs, what you really want is control, not wealth. For this reason, I don't really see UBI catching on in most Western countries. A country like South Korea is interesting, though, because it is still focussed on hyper growth of the economy rather than building fifedoms. It will be interesting to see if they go forward with the idea.

In effect the rich are losing nothing though. They'd only be losing the further advantages they would have had as robotics and AI become increasingly influential- because tech will still make the rich richer, but without such subsidies it will make inequality that much higher and the poor will be the ones paying for it through loss of jobs. The rich are still winning as tech becomes more important, this is just to make sure that the costs to the poor don't break them and destabilise society. I wrote a university essay on this in like 2015, as robotics erradicate the working class, the working class must have a means of transition or otherwise the underclass (people who have no hope of progression or even survival) will grow to a destabilising extent. This way, poor people have a means to gain an education, where they can then contribute to the growing intellectual demands of an increasingly technological society, while robotics and AI will take up the slack in terms of manual tasks. Of course there will still be an underclass, but it needs to be managed through means such as this to give people hope and means of living/progression.

There is no point in forming a bunch of trivial jobs in the place of the lost jobs just so we can justify giving them "free" money, that would just be a waste of their brainpower. The machine works for the company and for the people. It allows them to pursue enjoyable vocations, and there will be no need for any blue-collar drudgery, while allowing companies to produce products at a rapid speed, with point accuracy, 24/7.

In Korea people work like crazy. I always thought the working hours in Japan were the longest. But the data showed Korea has the longest working hours. Some from like 8 am to like 9pm/10pm. They passed a law to cut down the working hours. But apparently many still work crazy hours.

Gyeongi-an here. Local UBI helped a lot of business stay open during the pandemic since you can't use geonggi-pay in businesses with annual income over 9000 usd. I can buy pretty much anything with it.

This is a brilliant idea

Very timely execution. The world needs UBI more than ever.

I believe that is a good idea, even if one were to start with merger 100 rupees /month in a Programm similarly costly to implement (girls) education could be extended to average 4th grade level! 70 bilion £ however are a steep commitment and the UK isn't currently stabilizing relations so it would need to be supernational.

Taking money from taxpayers and washing it through a government bureaucracy will NOT "create" wealth. That money is diluted so much that it takes more and more and more to give somebody an equivalent amount. Letting people spend their OWN money by cutting taxes means that 100% of that money stays in the community. Jesus... You people and your government solutions.

Malaysia should do this to combat money laundering and tax evasion. It is time for informal economies like hawkers to start paying tax. The current ewallet program is merely for tech adoption but not for economy as it does not exclude imported goods from online sellers.

This is the future.

@Buckminister Fuller why are you even trying to talk to that guy. You will not have a meaningfull conversation with him i can guarantee you that.

This is such a smarter way to help people in need and help boost local economy, as research have shown the stimulus cheques were spend on debt payments and went to savings.

Good job.

Man its a pretty smart idea.

This might take time to be implemented on a large scale in other countries but sooner or later UBI is the way to go forward.

This is great. Now we have a working model that we can analyze and determine whether the pros outweigh the cons.

@tzarbg123 South Korea had a lot of technological/financial advancements (e.g., widespread use of electronic payments rather than cash) in the past decade compared to nearly all other countries that allowed this experiment to work in Gyeonggi-do. Even seemingly advanced first world countries like Japan and the US still mainly use cash for transactions. If you want this to work in your country, it will need to heavily invest in similar infrastructure for preferring electronic payments and keeping track of them.

@@DefenestrateYourself This goes a little beyond a strong safety net and groups that have automatically received money regardless of income here in the United States haven't necessarily fared so well. But I do have an open mind and I'm very cognizant of the possibility that labor may not be available for everyone in the future and the repercussions of such an environment. I really hope this proves successful and gives us a good model going forward.

yes! lovely

Fascinating. I did a lot of business in Seoul and Gyeonggi with big corporates and it was clear what automation and cheaper overseas manufacturing was doing to local employment. South Korea has one of the most extreme work hours and rigid hierarchal cultures. So many highly educated young people struggle to find work. It’s extremely competitive. It only makes sense that as productivity significantly increases due to automation that humans reap the reward of better quality lifestyles.
