2000 unemployed citizens

Finlands 2000 unemployed citizens may find some reasons for reporting to work, as the universal basic income scheme welches implemented last week. They would be between the ages of 25 and 58, whose basic income replaced other social benefits. Switzerland was supposed to be the first one to try it, but a referendum revealed the public being against it.Could this scheme be the norm of the future? Lets look at the prosNo one will complain about the lack of savings. Youll have fixed income, and it will be your responsibility to spend it all or set aside a fraction of your earnings every month. You have something to look forward to at the end of the year. It can be a new gadget, even a well-deserved holiday.Satisfied employees translate into a happy community. If its social life (or the lack of it), then it will be abedrngnisher matter. It will be right to satisfy ones needs first. On the bigger picture, no one will hold a grudge against the powers to be. These citizens are well taken car e of, which would be more than they can ask for.This scheme validates the need to uphold the greater good. It shouldnt be sacrificed for the convenience of a few people (or the upper class in many cases).Lets look at the downsideSome are more equal than the others. In this case, it means that motivation will be unevenly distributed among the citizens. The scheme will be favorable to some people, such that they wont mind the absence of benefits. If they handle their money well enough, then it wont be a problem to have a lump sum of money after many years. How about the others? It might be pointless to give them a lecture, as they are likely bullish about their attitude towards the scheme. (And it turns out that theyre not grateful for it.) Moreover, some are plain lazy about it. Age can be a reason, and this one can be more complicated than is seems. The authorities may not have an answer to this one.Taxes might be an issue here. Some might seek clarification, even complain about it. If there will be an absence of benefits, then there might be talks about a possible tax exemption. Those who are living in developed nations may overlook it, but the inhabitants of developing countries can raise this issue. Geography will defeat this scheme.This scheme might be a lame excuse to some unemployed people. They simply dont want to work at all, as this scheme guarantees a fixed income. (Working or not working at all.) Dont be surprised if Switzerland, renowned for its neutrality, object to it. (Can you imagine Roger Federer championing this cause?) Let us put it in another way One of the benefits of being unemployed is receiving a cellphone and money (to load it). It will be wise to use it as an opportunity (and call potential employers). Theres nothing about sending text messages to family members and friends, but dont do it habitually.What about you? Do you like it or not?
