Bezos and Amazon bails out of New York

What's the logic in giving someone enough money to live basic, pay rent, bills and food and expecting them to work regardless? I know people have explained this before in the past and it did have solid reasons behind it.

Granted, I'd work as I can't see myself sitting around like a loaf; so to me the UBI would go into my savings each month. But not sure that would be typical, would it? Could see loafers just living off it and never really trying to find work, like some loafers live off welfare now.

edit: There's three "loaf" in that post

When UBI is done correctly, young men go to college and young women stop having babies: they work.

Seems it should be a strong feminist idea to push UBI, actually. And MRA should push hard for it, too.

But for some reason, when people get a decent UBI, they work more. I'd assume it has a lot to do with the option to choose to get to do work they better enjoy than work they have to do.

I'd rather write books, make videos, do stand-up, and do art stuff than my current profession. But it would probably pay shit to do all those things even if I was great at all of them. With a UBI, I could focus on the ones that make money and actually turn it into a career, perhaps?

And do we have to give illegal immigrants access to uBi?

Can't collect UBI if you're illegal because you're not a legal resident.

At least in most systems I've seen proposed, you can't participate in UBI if you're illegal.

What's the point of UBI?

If it was to encourage people to get back to work, then they need to give them true UBI instead of what amounted to unemployment.

If it was to encourage the unemployed to get college educations more often, then they need to test in a country that doesn't already offer free tuition.

Let's test it in the US.

I figured it was just to give people breathing room, people who live paycheck to paycheck don't have to worry as much.

I am liking how people are point out how AOC is so stupid she thinks that She will now get the 3 Billion instead of Amazon/Bezos
