I absolutely am allowing the market to regulate what those jobs pay. There may be some inflation initially, but it becomes less and less of a concern over time as automation takes on more and more of work that humans used to do.
It has huge relevance, and I have not dismissed it. I know a tremendous amount about it, and I know that most of it stems from people feeling marginalized and not valued by society.
Yes, it would. No person should be trapped in a situation where they are being taken advantage of. UBI provides that freedom to leave the situation.
Coorelation does not equal causation. There are a lot more factors going on in those reserves than just whether or not they're receiving payments.
Just because some authority claims to have all the answers regarding human nature, doesn't necessarily mean that they actually do.
