Igor Konyashin:

This West is also discussing the introduction of unconditional income (Switzerland, Finland).

Free electricity, unconditional income... Who will work and generate electricity then?

They are not discussing it, it was discussed a long time ago, and everyone seems to have refused)))) People have totally refused free money, everyone said "no, we will work!" Now that's worthy of a branch of humour.

Dmitry Fedoseev:
They don't, it's been discussed for a long time and everyone seems to have refused))) People have totally given up on free money, everyone said "no, we'll work!"

It was in Switzerland that they could refuse. I recognise their handwriting.)

UPD: Googled it, and it turns out that in Finland they decided to conduct an experiment after all, from 2017 - as reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta (official newspaper of the Russian Government).

theoretically, if you go beyond a certain productivity threshold, it is possible to make some goods and services completely free

it may not necessarily be a Christmas tree planet like Gianni Rodari

it's more likely that innovation and art will remain high margin and expensive.

but things like food, clothing, electricity, heat, telephone, internet and some basic services could one day be totally free

many of the things listed are still free if you know how to do it.

But you have to spend time on it.

SZZ: you spend time - you save money, you spend money - you save time.

Yes, we may be witnessing a unique situation in human history. Naturally, this will not happen in all (even most) countries, but in some countries it will be very interesting to see.

Wouldn't they offer to give up the 5 million (in favour of the bank) owed to the relatives of the dead in return?
