I have seen a few articles on the Idea of replacing all benefits and pensions with a Universal Basic income
as a fix for the cruelty of our economic system on the unlucky and helpless members of our community.
But did you know that conservatives like the Idea as well and it would cost less then the current system and discourage
Hopelessness. And massively increase the part time workforce, coupled with a Point System where income is decreased for anti social or reckless behaviour the government will have a direct way to encourage the good and punish the bad.
Which would benefit a decrease in Prison inmates. The money saved on less prisons would practically pay for itself.
However if politics get entwined in the point system things could get very dark so that would need to be managed carefully.
As the power to directly manipulate the population would be easy to abuse.
