@thor with UBI it would be a legit sustainable lifestyle to, for example, smoke weed everyday and not go to work forever, current welfare systems usually have some sort of a catch to prevent total abuse like that. In Poland for example the unemployment program has a time limit after which to remain in it you have to take job consultations and eventually accept and do jobs the office finds for you.
@Amikke @thor In Australia the office doesn't find jobs for you, but still demands unreasonable things of you on short notice, and eventually just drops you if you're still there.
@Zergling_man @thor yeah what I described is the theory, as with all social programs the practice is usually less pleasant
