Corporations produce things (productive), while UBI rewards unproductive behavior (theoretically)


What a stunningly myopic conclusion.

I hope one day you are able to acknowledge all the people in this world that live for purpose instead of for making Lumberg’s stock go up half a point.


I’m not really sure what having a purpose has to do with it. Whatever your purpose is, it is sustained by corporations and other people working for them, unless you are farming your own food and building your own house.


people working for corporations produce things, I think you'll find the incorporating docs, and the property owned do not produce things by themselves.


But that’s the point. UBI allows people to not work for a corporation while also costing money that came from somewhere. Generally when there are corporate docs and owned property, those are the things required before production starts. What you’re saying doesn’t really affect the point.


I agree but you'll also find that the workers without the capital and tools do not produce things either.
