We need to save our Prince of princes or THEY will steal the stick of truth. Quick! On your horses!
...what a fun game
I don't hear on the news any Universal Basic Income discussions currently, but we could get started here, and become "they".
Well not everyone can really start a business. What if someone is born in a poor village in Africa? And all of a sudden due to global warming, even tho they never even used a car in their life, they can't grow any more food, since the dessert expanded? This isn't a hypothetical, global warming is already happening, it has been for decades, desserts have been expanding for years, famine increased due to bad weather and so on. We can see the ones who just lived their lives and not pollute the planet end up paying their lives for the mistakes of others. This sort of income would help them out.
That being said, it would make it feasible for a person to do nothing and survive. There will be at least one person who will want to have as many children as he can and all will be taken care of due to this, if he teaches only two of them to do the same, this will be unstable in couple of generations as the number grows exponentially, with 2^x amount of people per generation.
So I would say, that it would help a lot of people, but it would be unstable in the long run and then we will have the same problem.
