I feel like we've probably needed it for the past 30+ years here in the UK. When Margaret Thatcher closed down the mines and dismantled our manufacturing industry, thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people were left without jobs and there was no alternative employment around their areas. Anyway, it seems as though the discussion around the concept of UBI has only recently come up. Personally, I'd love it. It'd mean I could carry on living the NEET life and not have to deal with the asshole staff at the Job Centre anymore. My granddad worked right up until he reached retirement age and he has fuck all to show for it. He lives in a council house and drives a shitty Daewoo Matiz. Is that what all the time he wasted working was building up to? JFL. I'd rather just be a NEET if I'm honest. And before anyone says anything, I'm not your stereotypical bummy NEET. I don't live with my parents, I keep my bedroom relatively tidy, I eat quite healthily, I hardly ever drink and I don't do drugs whatsoever. I spend the majority of my money on rent and food. I'm basically just a guy who's living his life how he sees fit and doesn't want to put into a system that he hates. I feel like the system hates people like me even more than alcoholics and druggies who are a true drain on society. And you know because I'm a white, single, childless man, the hate towards me from the system is doubly so. If I was a Syrian refugee with a wife from a forced marriage and 11 kids, they'd practically be throwing money at me.
