RE: Contest for Free Entry to Steem Basic Income plus two SBDs.

in #steembasicincome6 years ago

I think that Universal Basic Income would help many people - especially the ones who just starting their adult lifes, to help them easier find their way to happy life, because they could spend more time educating and making decisions what they would like to do in life, they also wouldn't affect so much stress and insecurity related to forced job / unwanted work / employment took from them by more effective robots.
I believe that, as a result, this may not only increased willingness to work and self-development, but also reduce social inequalities, which could result in a greater flow of funds, and thus to the economic growth of the country 👍🔝👌
However I consider, that such additional income should be adequately monitored so that it does not trigger or strengthened bad behaviors in society.

Good point about having the extra security early in life. I think it’s good for young people to take a year off after university and go travelling or something like that. A lot of people don’t get the chance to do that because of pressure to find a job.

Yeah, you're right. Such a trip can be very educative too, because travel broadens our horizons. But it would also help people who for various reasons can't count on the support of their family. I think that thanks to #UBI people could live calmer and happier lives.
