The Cellar - View Single Post - Finland experimenting with Basic Income system

The proposal is to give every citizen 800€ per month. Roughly $10,000 annually.

Everyone. Regardless of income. This removes the quandary of low income jobs being a worse deal than unemployment. I think you could survive on 10k if you pooled resources with friends or family. And then you get a job to augment and get your self into a better situation.

Rich folk can't complain because they get it too. It's so simple. What's not to like?
