(31,261 posts)29. UBI comes with some daunting implementation issues.
But I am convinced that it will both be needed at some point and will be put into place at some point.
One issue that I have with it is it has the potential to open up some ugly racial and economic class issues and could possibly open arguments about WHO should have children, obstensively along economic class lines, but we know that in America, the argument will have a massive racial component (we are even seeing that in the social democracy states in Europe as they are populated by more POC. There is a reason for nationalism and white supremacy rising in Europe, and a total pig like Steve Bannon having serious influence there).
