While basic income can provide financial security, it does not address the fundamental need for meaningful employment and social inclusion. A job guarantee ensures that people contribute to society and gain a sense of purpose, which is crucial for overall well-being.

This would undermine leftist agendas, which typically strive for more equitable distribution of resources and power. A focus on human needs and environmental sustainability should be at the core of any social progress.
