It's true that people do choose places to live based on cost of living all the time, but I don't necessarily see basic income incentivizing that any more than it already is. Like, if you're poor and live in New York, why are you forced to move now that you're making more money?<br /><br />The emotional backlash is definitely a barrier, but attitudes are definitely going to have to change when we reach extremely high levels of unemployment because of advances in automation. I'm not sure if the narrative of welfare recipients being lazy and unwilling to work will ring as true at 40% unemployment.Aeron Hemlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05008148925227285004noreply@blogger.com
