"Having money enables you to participate in society"
No truer words have been said

[trapskilla]

"instead of a ceiling, it creates a floor of which to lift yourself off."


Perfect explanation

[Beaniez]

I really like how they explained how making just 1 dollar more will cause you to lose your welfare and essentially encoruage passive/lazy behavior. My mom dealt with this while I was growing up and I always asked why she didn't just get a higher paying job - like the $1000-$1200 example - and this is why. People on welfare end up making less if they make to much, so they're stuck

Im an engineer. If ubi was introduced, I would still work but take more time off. Spend more time with friends and family. Maybe engage in society/charity more. Probably take some courses and learn new things.

[CultureCrash]

*I can never get enough of these visuals.* Masterful work on this channel!

"16% of people actively miserable "
2020- lets pump those numbers up!

[Grandflea]

If I could work as a teacher, and not have to worry about eating 7 days a week if I also want Wi-Fi, I definitely would.

[ReySilverskin]

A $1000/month UBI would almost cut in half the number of hours I need to work to maintain my current income. I'd still work, but I could work fewer hours in a more personally and emotionally fulfilling job. My job and the full third of my life it consumes are a major factor in why I still struggle with clinical depression; a UBI would make me feel a whole lot better about everything. Shame it's so far from actually becoming a thing in America right now, but with a little bit (or a lot) of luck maybe I'll see it happen in my lifetime.

[WulfieZi]

I've been in quarantine for 3 weeks now. I'm still getting paid but work has been put on hold for further notice.
I can comfortably say that, even with all expenses paid for, I would still continue to work by choice, because not working at all is awful.

[nightlypiano]

I think it should be like this: you are able to live semi-comfortable with the UBI, but you work to get the funds for what you want, not what you need.

[phantomstrider]

I hope I get to live to see UBI introduced someday. Would make alot of stressed, unhappy people alot more relaxed.

[Hemlock.]

The animations on this Channel are always so smooth and clear, imagine if every lecture, every class, every meeting could be explained and displayed like this.

[iheartlreoy]

“How did you and mom meet?”
“We reached for the same donut...”

[AFKBIN]

Spongebob was one of the Employees of the Month. Pretty cool Easter Egg

[hyperswag]

“So, is universal basic income a good idea? The answer? We don’t know yet.”
*Says after giving way too many ways that it is 100% good.*

[Quickonomics]

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how absolutely awesome these animations are?

[thetherrannative]

Remember this: The better worker will _always_ be the one who does the work because he enjoys it, _not_ the one who does it because he has to.

[fisyr]

One argument for UBI that wasn't mentioned is the fact that lot of low skill work is getting replaced by automation. If we get to a point where there actually won't be enough jobs for everybody, UBI might become a necessity.

While I have already left a comment on here, I remember the day that my financial algebra teacher showed this video to us in class. It was a great experience and when we were partnered up into groups after the video we had a great discussion about it. I think that the model of a UBI is better than welfare because of the points mentioned in the video. Also because of the discussion we had in class. While yes I think that we need to do a lot more research and testing into the model I think it will pay off in the long run. But that’s just my opinion and I’m not saying it’s correct.
