I think it's the only ethical way to solve the extreme inequalities in the world and it would make it possible for everyone to actually contribute more to society instead of hunting jobs that are disappearing.

My problem is bnot with giving people money. My problem is where do you get the money to give them? Fiat currency, printed out of thin air and distributed will reduce the value of the money the working people are working for, that is robbing them. Taxing them from what they EARNED is also theft. The model here, at steemit, where it is drawn out of the reward pool is a little better, I am supporting that as I am curious if it can work. I suspect the day will come that it will become a drain on the reward pool and we will see flag wars over people getting the basic income, but maybe I am wrong. Time will tell!

I think it is needed. Things are changing at such a fast pace and inequality seems to be getting worse.

You may be interested in @steembasicincome which is attempting to address this. I have sponsored someone to test it out and if it works I will be doing a lot more!

Taxation is theft and the money must come from somewhere.  Basically the idea is to reduce the administrative costs of welfare type programs, an acknowledgement that existing programs designed to help the poor are not cost effective or efficient.  Also the more that money is redistributed in circulation, the more things will costs.   The ones who it was supposed to benefit most will likely end up still being homeless and unable to benefit-and the cost of basic life necessities will only increase.

  That said there are plenty of opportunities for free money.   From mining crypto (kind of expensive to do profitably), to letting computers/cell phones(on wifi-not data) watching ads (earnhoney, swagbucks, engageme.tv, yoolotto, perk, rewardables, cash magnet, etc), to air drops, to dividend income. To crypto/paid services like the brave browser, steem, dtube, youtube.   Maybe not at a survivable level for most, but it is still out there for those who put the effort in-and everything about it is volitional.  

  I am thinking about leaving to mexico (or elsewhere), buying a plot of land, and just farming off of it.  Money will have little importance, and between sowing and harvest seasons, there will be plenty of time to do what I would like to do.  Money isn't the answer especially when living in a police state, less government is.  And the less government there is would encourage the practice of saving money (instead of the current expectation of borrowing money, and being slaves to our debt), the easier and more cost effective it is to voluntarily help the truly needy.

I am also in favor of universal basic income.. these grants can not only alleviate poverty in purely economic terms, but may also jolt the poor out of the poverty cycle by helping them.

It's something that could prove very profitable to both government's and citizens. Basic income is not free money. It's freedom. And freedom belongs to us.

@hmushtaq Undoubtedly, I support this universal basic income ideal. Actually, it's the right and essential way to create a real Utopialand...
