I’m curious where people see Universal Basic Income on the political spectrum. Please mention what national/cultural/generational background is informing your answer. Thanks!

    Mid 30 Scandinavian right/libertarian leaning.

    You can argue for it from both sides.

    The right want a small government and to encourage entrepreneurs to take risks. The left want a strong social support system for the unfortunate.

    From what I’ve read about it it seems like a good idea. The big question is how you implement it at scale without crashing the current system that works reasonably well.
