I don't know. For now, I am generally satisfied with my main job. I don't even know if I can quit or not, even if that happens.
No. Would continue working on what I’m passionate about, as I’m fortunately doing now
No. in fact I always had an official job to pay my bills and in parallel other jobs that paid me little or nothing, but I supported the idea etc... in this case UBI I would just have more time to dedicate myself to projects that interest me or I find relevant, regardless of whether it increases my income or not.
No. And I guess most people wouldn’t unless they are stuck in very unfortunate working conditions which shouldn’t exist anyway.
And in most Western European countries we have UBI. Not with double purchase power. But accessing it is coupled with humiliation and harassment by the authorities. During the pandemic there was a short period of uncomplicated UBI for artists on my country and it boosted creativity and productivity for everyone I know.
I would double down on working on the most meaningful work. That security would give me the freedom and power to focus on what matters most and what creates the deepest, longest value for my community and society.
Being useful matters, but usefulness isn't just about money. UBI will help society, but we still need rewards for effort to keep people motivated
I would leave a job I didn’t like and continue working where I liked. teach children or something related to tea.
If I could double my purchasing power with guaranteed UBI, I'd definitely consider taking a break from my librarian gig! Imagine all the rare books and hiking gear I could buy 🤑
Working for other people on projects I'm not passionate about? Absolutely.
It would give me moar time to work on the things I love.
But no matter the comfortable wealth, one must work.
Idk Stani - maybe I wouldn't but I come from a place where the socioeconomic experiments out in place really ruined the whole supply chain leading to a near starvation scenario and deepen'd social inequality... Maybe I'm just naïve and it was meant to be like it anyway, but right now after surviving such a terror, I'm pretty much in favor of a total avoidance of social helps that would undermine individuals desire for self-sufficiency, unless specific circumstances require such help.
That been said, a Basic Income wouldn't hurt in specific cases, yet as a "universal" right I think of course it'd impact negatively in the labor market... this would be of course more and more felt in underdeveloped countries, imho.
finding purpose and being accomplished are high on Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. With food shelter & safety covered they become much more vividly important.
No, I love create things. I think I would even do more if I can have money to pay for dev tools or infra
Not at all, but this kind of thing would def give the labor market a lot more negotiating power, I see this as a good thing, but many mega corporation owners wouldn't as they would no longer have everyone in a compromised position where they were dependent upon them for survival
Employment would be more of a fair exchange in this scenario I think
Nope. Research must go on. I like to be paid to attain new information about systems. So I think I’d be out here every day working, and better too because under that circumstance my family would be taken care of, and I’d only work for my ambition.
