Also, I’m not certain what the fascination continues to be with a UBI when you have true full employment (I.e. no involuntary un or underemployment, due to a Job Guarantee) and UBS (or better termed, Universal Public Services- UPS) in place. The UBI creates, amongst other issues, inflationary pressures that erode its benefit to the less wealthy, whilst also providing additional income to the already wealthy.
This represents the ‘political question of the century’. The wealthier you are in the wealthier of nation you’re going to have to reduce your lifestyle to live within planetary boundaries. Does anyone really see the wealthy doing this voluntarily?
The math is actually mind blowing about the flagrant greed of the demographic we call the top 10%. What is even more horrific is that a large proportion of the other 90% actually aspire to be in the elite group. And what’s worse is that some of them are succeeding in becoming millionaires and billionaires by the day. Try telling anyone sold on the lie of the American Dream that this isn’t progress and you’re the enemy. In Robert F Kennedy’s last public speech he questioned whether GDP was a fair measure of the health of a nation, and he was assassinated two weeks later.
