RE: Finland Pilots Universal Income Project For Unemployed
thanks for the heads up! I have been racking my brain to try and implement a private market solution to this problem because governments in general are inefficient and corrupt. I believe in a universal basic income but we have been betrayed by our governments for long enough i think we can do it outside of the institutions that currently exist. Cutting out the bureaucracy in welfare states and giving that money directly to citizens instead seems to make more sense. I know in canada people on social assistance do not get enough to get by yet they have to deal with so much paperwork, interviews, and other bureaucratic bs to even receive said funds. Put the money in the hands of those that need it and will spend it and youve got yourself some healthy markets.
The vast majority of 'money' goes to those who already have most of it and ultimately it is made 'from nothing' anyway. The best solution is one that starts in the heart and which doesn't revolve around money at all. ;)
I am well aware of the monopoly money that the dark alchemists create out of thin air in order to enslave and acquire things of actual value. I believe in a basic level of human dignity and as much as it would be awesome for an equilibrium to be reached, we are not close enough to a state of gnosis. I also dont trust governments and was just advocating for a basic minimum income safety net through the private market - because I believe we can be kind enough to cut out the middle man and make sure everyone has the basics covered. Ideally this would be in a system that isnt the current fiat one, I was considering coming up with some sort of blockchain solution that could decentralize the wealth redistribution. One could argue that mining can have a similar effect but obviously it needs to be more than that.
