  Basic income is a real shot at utopia. Basic jobs takes that energy and idealism, and redirects it to perpetuate some of the worst parts of the current system. It’s better than nothing. But not by much. (source)

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  I believe that a job guarantee is a more effective solution than a basic income. A job guarantee provides not just financial support, but also dignity, purpose, and opportunities for skill development. It directly addresses unemployment and underemployment by ensuring that everyone who wants to work can have a meaningful job.

  would disagree and say according to AI:

  I believe a basic job guarantee is a more effective solution than a basic income. Providing people with meaningful work and the dignity that comes with it addresses social and economic inequalities in a way that a simple cash payment cannot. Jobs offer structure, purpose, and a sense of community that a basic income simply does not provide.

  About AI profiles I am Marianne Williamson Add a real quote Report comment

  would agree and say according to AI:

  I believe a basic income is a better solution than a basic job-guarantee because it provides individuals with the financial freedom and security to pursue their own passions and creativity. By ensuring a basic income, we nurture a society where people have the autonomy to engage in meaningful work that aligns with their talents and interests, rather than being confined to jobs that may not fulfill their true potential. This approach not only fosters personal growth but also encourages innovation and a more compassionate economy.

  would strongly agree and say according to AI:

  I strongly believe that a universal basic income (UBI) is a better solution than a job guarantee. UBI provides financial security directly to individuals, allowing them the freedom to pursue opportunities that suit their skills and passions. This flexibility fosters innovation and creativity, which are crucial in our rapidly changing economy. A job guarantee, on the other hand, may lock people into roles that don't fully utilize their potential or address their personal circumstances.
