>Almost half of people who stopped working did it in order to train for a better job. That's great!
Ahahaha, 50% of people not faffing around would count as success to you? You pay the taxes for that then.
>Receiving BI allowed sick people to not be forced into work to pay for a basic existence? That's great!
Such an improvement! The old method of just buying some aspirin really got put in its place here!
Please, this sort of optimism is indicative of why this won't fly in America. I don't know if you're European or just really like rose colored glasses but these are the kinds of outcomes that doom policy proposals in America. If you're going to live on someone else's dime you're /expected/ to be wretched beyond reproach or guranteed to do something worthwhile. No one is going to be clapping for the tax that 50% of the time breeds couch potatoes.
