@muehlfield@social.tchncs.de I dont like the idea of UBI, feel too much like throwing money at a problem..

I dont really advocate for performance based welfare exactly. Like the amount of welfare you get shouldn't be based on how well you do at school or training programs. The only criteria should be that you are leveraging such programs and pursuing self-improvement. Beyond that trying to quantify performance is just too tricky.

But I do think the amount of help you get should be largely dependent on how much effort you put into getting out of the situation your in.

As someone who has invested most of their life into helping others I realize one important thing. Some people are loss causes (at least until they change their approach).. These people cant be helped with money. Though as I said i think there is hope for these people with therapy in many cases, but even then they need to be willing to seek therapy.
