Should we have a universal basic income (UBI)?
@evan I have no idea. Has anyone done an objective writeup of the pros and cons of a policy like this?
@mike probably a lot! I think Wikipedia might be a good place to start.
@evan yeah good point. 
@mike if you find a good one, let me know. I know @scottsantens covers the topic a lot, so he might have some pointers for where to get started.
@evan @mike@flipboard.social @scottsantens There was an extensive study and experiment preformed in Canada: https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20200624-canadas-forgotten-universal-basic-income-experiment

IMHO: UBL would be the best thing that ever happened to capitalism. The freedom to innovate would be unprecidented and new markets would bloom everywhere. Of course it won't happen though, because we practice corpratism not market driven capitalism.
