I think the phrasing needs to be adjusted for the audience. These corporations and governments don't seem to grasp that if wide swaths of the population is unemployed, there's no more taxes and profits to be had.

Remember, governments need 10 years to even get educated on things that have happened in the past 5. CEO's only think ahead to the next 90 days ffs.

The only reason for universal basic income is because we have all been slaved and surplus value of our labour was stolen by owner class.

Now they are going to be giving uus back the money that we earned with strings attached for social control purposes.
