I was once talking with one of my classmates and he said that in the future, there will be universal basic income implemented by entire world. I was not convinced at that time and thought he is just being stupid but given the layoffs happening and massive amount of unemployment, I am thinking about this possibility. What do you say?
It depends on society not turning itself inside out.
If we could just pluck along where we were in the early 10’s, everywhere that has socialized healthcare will eventally slowly install UBI and all the like things that come with it.
But, looking at the trends in society, wars, weather, oligarchs, and population decline, we might only have a few generations left.
like welfare states in EU? I think EU will probably give UBI.
