Remember when that Andrew Yang ran for president back in 2020? One of his promises was to give all Americans a universal basic income of $1000 a month. He of course didn't get elected and his idea didn't come to light. But, with the recent inflation and possible recession, do you think it would be a good idea to give all Americans a universal basic income? Or will it just result in more people not working?I'm all for a little extra money. For me $1000 wouldn't go very far, but hell, I'd take it. I could use it for food, bills, or even just spending money. I have a fairly good job, so I don't really need it. But I could then save that $1000 per month, and then invest that into other things. But I could see a lot of people deciding not to work because of it.What country was it that tried universal income? I think it was Norway. I heard that experiment didn't work out so well, as it resulted in some people half-assing it at work or outright quitting their job.What do you think about Universal Basic Income of $1000 a month? Do you think it'll result in abuse? Will it help or hurt?
