@ -20,13 +20,14 @@ Advantages of UBI:
- **We will solve the issue of societal aging and prevent an otherwise likely [collapse](collapse.md) caused by it** -- increasing of average age of population due to advance of medicine along with decreasing fertility and willingness of people to have children is becoming a big, threatening issue; soon there will be too many old people incapable of working and too few young people to take care of everything. Establishing UBI will allow us to fully accept and utilize automation and eliminate all unnecessary work, making society be able to function with only a few people actually working. In this sense rejecting UBI is a nothing less than a societal threat.
- **We will actually save money and other resources** because the system will simplify a lot. Nowadays we have complex bureaucracy and commissions that judge who can get social welfare, who can get disability pensions etc. Huge amounts of money are wasted to just keep unnecessary jobs existing, e.g. people have to commute to their bullshit jobs, which implies cars and roads have to be maintained more, also workplaces have to be maintained, cleaned, maintain work safety, etcetc. If everyone just gets money to live, we can save on this bureaucracy, maintenance, commissions, on doctor examinations, caring about the homeless, maintaining hugely complex laws etc. If people become less stressed, mental health will also improve and we will save money on treatment of mentally ill people. Money may also be saved on organization of worker unions as they may become much less important etc.
- **Society will become more [ecological](ecology.md)** thanks to the elimination of bullshit and saving resources, as mentioned above.
- **People will become less stressed**, happier, will have security and as a result perhaps even become more "productive" (this has been confirmed by some experiments).
- **People will become less stressed**, happier, healthier, they will have security and as a result perhaps even become more "productive" (this has been confirmed by some experiments).
- **Criminality will greatly decrease** as it is directly linked to poverty, this will of course further save money on police, lawyers, medical bills etc.
- **People will become more equal** which will shift us closer to the [ideal society](less_retarded_society.md).
- **People will be able to do more important things than work if needed**, for example they may choose to focus on education for a few years, which will make the population better educated and therefore better.
- **Social security will suppress fear in people** and therefore make them less xenophobic, less militant, less fascist etc.
- **Homelessness will greatly decrease**, streets will be cleaner, we'll be able to close many homeless centers etc.
- **There will be many more indirect benefits**, e.g. people may start to live without unnecessary things that are nowadays forced on them by jobs such as cell phones, cars or bank accounts, which will subsequently make people consume less, spend less time on toxic social networks and live more healthy lives among friends in local communities, lowering the negative effects of globalization such as the spread of the US culture etc.
- **People will be able to become more educated and rid of excuses not to do good.** With more free time people can think more, read books, get interested in things and generally stop being dumb machines too busy or tired to do actual good; there will be no more excuses such as "I would love to help my neighbor but I have to do XYZ every day."
- **Capitalists will be crying like little babies**.
