Would You Support Universal Income?

This is something I’ve been thinking about lately.

If everyone received a guaranteed income — no matter their job or situation — do you think life would actually improve… or would it create new problems?

Part of me thinks it could lower stress, support mental health, and give people room to breathe instead of constantly surviving. But another part of me wonders if it would change motivation, prices, or how we value work.

I don’t have a strong stance — I’m more curious than anything. I just know financial stress affects people deeper than we admit.

👉 Yes or no — and why?

I’m genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives.

No, I do think that the pay structure around all jobs should be redone though. There are so many important jobs that pay so little. I think this could help increase the desire for those jobs as well.

Me, I've been thinking the same thing, but I think the universal income would be a good idea, and if the job isn't worth the stress, and pain. Then switch jobs knowing that you still get paid the same amount of money as you did at the previous job that you had before you switched jobs. The only time it would be a bad thing is if you are unemployed for a long time.
