Which is disappointing because universal basic income would be a good thing to have for a lot of people who are genuinely struggling.

But for those who are not disabled, to get them to work and not chill on NEETbucks all year 'round, the economy would have to be in a good shape and effort would have to pay off and not make all profits disappear into the billionaires' pockets.

Well, if we boil down all the billionaires, we'd be well on the way to providing a UBI. Right now the NEETs are just a burden that most of us can't afford.
