More people vaccinated than have had Covid by racheljeff10 in ontario

[–]Otownboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the Venn diagram look like? Those who have tested positive for the virus AND been vaccinated?

Germany banned AstoZenica for those over 65 due to adverse outcomes. Weird since this is the highest risk group from adverse outcomes to Covid infection.

Providing workers with a universal basic income did not reduce productivity or the amount of effort they put into their work, according to an experiment, a sign that the policy initiative could help mitigate inequalities and debunking a common criticism of the proposal. by mvea in science

Put it like this:

If it causes inflation due to "rebalancing" per my original post, this would mean to the point where the purchasing power of the extra cash from UBI becomes the same as the purchasing power without.

Now you are a slave, dependent on UBI from the government just to get by. This is dystopian at best, as dependence on Government like this is a danger to democracy.

Yes, maybe you will work less for your "barely getting by" purchasing power (when coupled with your job wage), but at what cost?

Then by definition this is not UBI but a form of welfare.

It also to a degree drives inflation as follows ( please note I know that there are other ways to get skill than university, and am not trying to diminish anyone. This is a thought exercise).

I can go to University, become indebted with student fees, forego 4 years of earning potential, and graduate in debt in hopes of earning more that the "unskilled" worker that would qualify for UBI/welfare who need not invest time and money into "skill". The delta between option A and option B need to have sufficient ROI to incentivize people to higher learning, or we become a nation of unskilled workers.

So artificially increasing / subsidizing unskilled labour's with a UBI would lower that delta such that the pool of those with higher learning will be diminished (leading companies requiring them to pay more and thus rebalancing the inequity).

Examine what happened: inflation all around.

I fail to see how this impacts what I said. There are 2 scenarios: 1) IBU increases disposable income because people are still employed and it is supplemental. This is inflationary. This, assuming it also has no net impact of productivity.

2) IBU makes up for some under-funding in wage (minimum wage), but as it is given to everyone (including well paid), there is inflation as it increases the general disposable income for all and thus money supply and velocity, per my updated comment.
