<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Sorry to disagree, but I don't think PP-ES has any position on the subject, certainly not one that has ever been subject to informed debate or resolution by any representative body.<br>
<br>But this is certainly a very interesting subject, both from the philosophical and the practical sides. As of the latter, I don't know of any study of whether a universal basic income is economically feasible in Spain (it is always a good point to estimate economical viability of such big projects before trying it) or in Europe. But the philosophical questions are probably even more worthy of consideration within the pirate framework to test what kind of anthropology is ours.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

Kind of have to agree with that as I recently cut back to two days at my current job because I need more time available to do other things which pay more. They job was more than minimum wage, but not enough to fit my lavish lifestyle (sarcasm).<br>

Oh, yeah! Instead of being 50 units short to get to the end of the month, people would prefer to have nothing at all. Might be an option for people that do not accumulate fixed cost in their aim of running their life, like mortgages and such.<br>

I love intelligent comment and cheer it when I see some ;) .<br>

Subject: Re: [pp.int.general] Basic income - how does that fit into the pirate ideology?<br>
<br></div>
I have never heard of this argument? in reality it has no basis. If a company was paying you less than basic income, you would just not take the job, or you could quit the job.<div><br>
