Great idea if you want to stimulate Mexico's economy.
People would just send most of it to Mexico to their families lol.
I agree eventually this will happen as automation will kill a lot of jobs but will governments around the world have the ball to charge higher taxes on automated manufacturers to cover the UBI they need to pay. The UBI should not be causing the debt to go up. It needs to be paid by someone.
In 2008 when the GFC hit our stupid Gov did two hand outs which totaled 40Billion (a lot for Australia lol). 9 years later and we are still paying for it through taxes. Most people either paid some of their debt off with a bank, the refugees sent the money back home as they get government handouts weekly anyway and those who spent it bought TVs abd stimulate Samsung and SOny' profits lol,
