Voters in Hamburg have rejected universal basic income. Many economists would agree with them
Good...?
A frequent argument against UBI is that recipients will decide to work less. This in turn will make labour (and consequently labour-intensive products) more expensive.
Oh boy, the stupid people found a way to defend being abused. It's good that people are working less. It shouldn't even make things more expensive. Now instead of 1 worker slaving away for 8 hours, we can have 2 workers slaving away for 4 hours each. It's nothing but beneficial for everyone who isn't profiting off of abuse.
