UBI is flawed but so is the system you present.
In the UK where zero hour contracts are now the norm for many or perhaps in places where sweatshops exist and there is no minimum wage I do not believe that people can rise out of poverty. I think that they are in fact enslaved.
I do not purport to know the solutions.
And yet I know that in our world scarcity is a fallacy and poverty unnecessary.
Great article even though I oppose much of what you say.
Thanks.
