I know several people irl who are doing this in canada and they clear 80k a year and they bitch and moan just about as much as you would expect. Bonus points if you're like 25%+ native american because then you literally get free college as much as you want until you're 30 and you also get free housing, as in you will be given a house for free.

Lost in the discussion about UBI is a very simple reality:

The government issues the money. It doesn't need its own money unit from the population. It never needs to borrow. It spends its own money unit into existence.

The government can, at any time, simply buy all of the unemployment within the economy.

A very simple solution would be to pay unemployed, underemployed, unhappily employed people in the general economy to build their own housing as a government initiative.

There really isn't any need whatsoever to keep interacting with existing landlords or their properties at all. We clearly have the raw materials to build more housing. We clearly have newer building techniques that can lower the skill threshold we need to train certain workers to. The government creates the money, so funding for this is never the issue. Despite the massive injection of cash, it would be clearly deflationary because of how many new assets it would create.

Just drown landlords in supply.

"wow the govenrment just felt like giving me free money" is a retard trap that MILLIONS WILL FALL FOR. in reality, this will be integrating you into the beast system, they will keep you dependent on the government for life, they will require your real-world-face-ID to join up to their system, AND they will make it difficult to use the old dollar system. UBI will be deployed via some sort of crypto-coin they print out of thin air and they will likely offer to buy your cash/gold from you at a favorable rate so that it would be stupid to NOT join their new beast system. this is how it will end up working

I mean I could call in repairs but it would take weeks for them to show up so fuck that. Either way my building only charges 30 euros per month for repairs so I doubt you need much more than that. Not every renter is a mongoloid who thrashes everything every day.

I am currently selling an investment property. I gave landlording a go for a year. Rent is not where your money comes from. You get nothing from rent after tax and expenses. You would be better off selling the property and putting it into bonds. Where the money comes from for a landlord is that a bank will lend you money. With borrowed money, after multiple decades you sell the property and have been protected against inflation and have a lump sum. Since the property i own doesnt have a mortgage I was wasting my time. I can sell it now. There is no advantage to keeping it for 10 or 20 more years. The money made from rent is negligible. With this sum of money I can make a real investment. Put money into my pension, pay down the mortgage on my house and invest in ETFs. Real investments.

The boomer generation were obsessed with property. Anyone doing it now is a sucker.

Why would people not be willing to exchange their goods for the money? You're not making any sense at all. The entire reason why the money has value is because 1) you need it to pay taxes and 2) there is a demonstrated need for a common currency.

The irish government pays some or all of people's rents now if you are unemployed or on low wages. Of course this isnt actually enough money to rent. An incentive for people to work and seek more money while still suppressing wages. Of course some people wont work anyway. So effectively there is a lottery for them to get free homes. Tends to go to single mothers. Then there are people who earn enough to rent but the government have introduced a permanent rent freeze. The incentive is to build. New builds can charge what they like.so its a huge mess. Anything new will have the highest possible rents. If you are poor you face waiting a long time to find a home. If you can buy its expensive but okay.

Im not a landlord. Landlords do lots of work for low pay. Im selling. Im going to get lots of money for no work then reinvest in something not completely retarded.

>Of course this isnt actually enough money to rent. An incentive for people to work and seek more money while still suppressing wages.
It actually sounds like it is a handout to private landlords. The private sector won't and can't create enough demand on its own (precisely because of the profit incentive that requires the elimination of external costs like labor), so the captured government steps in so make sure the private landlord still keeps getting paid.

The government could just as easily run the housing itself.

UBI is gay but replacing all or virtually all welfare with Negative Income Tax is based and cost-effective

You guys know we already have a massive welfare state, right? People openly talk about selling their food stamps. NGO groups get hundreds of milliions to fix homelessness and never fix anything.
DOGE was actually a great idea on paper. The execution just faultered, in part because people were obstructing it so strongly. We're talking about billions of dollars. Full of waste. AI really is taking jobs. And it's moving faster than most people realize. Amazon can trim drastically as they implement more automation and robots. Fast food is going to touch screens, apps, and ai at the drive thru.

typical policy illiterate OP
frist off, 20k isn't high enough to constitute UBI if the person isn't working, in the exception of a case where housing costs are negligble. Secondly, one of the foremost benefits of UBI is that it doesn't provide marginal disincentive to work near a qualification threshold. In other words, labor is actually encouraged relative to the current set of entitlements in most places. You fundamentally misunderstood this and tried to gloat, but you made yourself look like a retard instead. You may have made a coherent point against pro-UBI people who are similarly confused and retarded, but that's not something noteworthy.

"They did an experiment and it failed" is the UBI spin version of "We did a study that shows vaccines are safe".

Remember, up to the point of current taxation UBI is just a tax cut.
If the govt gave you a tax break equal to what you currently pay in taxes, you'd probably be ecstatic. If it's called "UBI" you sperg out because you've been programmed to respond to words that way.

Well if you'll probably always have some small amount of labor from people, but there won't be "enough" of that work to employ anywhere close to the whole population, even a population free of mass migrants. So a handful of people still have paychecks, but where does the rest come from? It has to come from UBI. Besides, if you're going to posit that that level of automation exists, you have to look at the problem from the other end: Where is the money to buy all the output of automation going to come from? Almost nobody can have a job, so it has to come from UBI.

Well you just take it by force obviously.

Note what has happened at this point in your argument though: You've moved from arguing UBI isn't economically possible or efficacious to arguing that it's merely hard to implement because it has special interest opponents. UBI is valid, correct policy and should be implemented. Now we're just haggling about how. Think about it: why would "the robot owners" "the rich" etc. oppose UBI if it weren't a threat do them?

UBI could be compelling to... let's just call them RoboCorp for short... simply to discourage people from revolting/causing trouble. i.e. protection money. But if I were a wealthy, powerful, greedy person, why would I even leave that risk at all? Instead, I would engineer their deaths as subtly as possible... RoboCorp's goal isn't to sell products, it's to feel powerful and to exercise their will.

Again fix the rat problem before stocking the grain silo. This is 1488% a horse before the cart issue. The problem isn't even actually the rats (they functionally have no agency) It's the people that worm their way into power and prioritize their wellbeing over everyone else's at everyone else's expense. This shit only has a chance in hell of working if it's given to the actual working class and tied to a tax return. Somewhat paradoxically I do not see it as a good thing if it is not only available to those that have a job. An actual job, any job and it's got to have accountability. Otherwise you just created an even worse Minnesota daycare scam that will act like a dinner bell for the exact same "people".

>that technology eliminates the need for work.
No, absolutely not. The hole still needed to be dug. Automation doesn't eliminate the need for work, it eliminates the need for humans to do the work. Automation eliminates the need for (You).

Commie nigger you completely miss the fucking point. UBI is antithetical to the Flynn effect. This is a blood and soil problem. We all want luxury space communism, but in the fiction that it happened there's always a cataclysm that deleted the useless first. The "people" selling this know that too. You're arguing from the useful idiots perspective. You aren't going to be a card carrying member as much as you think you are. If you were you would have a seat at Davos. Some where in that thick fucking skull of yours you know that this only happens after the red terror.

If you actually want it you know what has to happen beforehand. Stop the third world invasion. Expatriate as much of what's here as possible. Rout out the traitors in the government and corporate. Institute literally any kind of reasonable standard to qualify for it and the means to achieve be audited to that standard. Then test if the carrot works. If all the prerequisites are fulfilled UBI would likely not be necessary. But people like you want free shit. A man that doesn't work doesn't eat is for a fundamental reason. His name is Brian. He's my 52 year old fat POS cousin that still lives with his mom and hasn't had a job in 25 years and yes he's on the dole. It took him 20 years but he shitbagged his way into it.
