It would be cool to remove the need for everyone to work jobs they hate just to survive though.
They're gonna want something in exchange for UBI. Maybe we all have to give blood for their anti-aging research, or sleep in beds that harvest our body heat. Something.
Except that will never happen in a capitalist society
Sure but the system would only work if the rich agreed to pay for our expenses via taxes. Don't expect it anytime soon.
Why do they have a choice?
Because they own the government
And the media
Stuff like this makes me wonder why we were even brought into this world, if we aren't wanted and can't have anything.
My only purpose at this point is to make sure they fail too.
The frustrating part is that a significant amount of that might already be largely technologically and economically possible at this point, but not as long as some people are hoarding 99% of the world's wealth, and brutally exploiting at least the poorest 80% of the world's population in their endless quest for more.
It has to stop.
