NO!!

Absolutely not .Takes away incentive

I am philosophically opposed to any kind of hand out. However, I could be OK with a Universally Guaranteed Minimum level of employment.

I've just seen too many cases, acquaintances, and relatives, who make bad choices in life and every hand out just encourages more bad choices. However, when they have to work for what they get, they tend to be a little less frivolous, plus I believe just showing up for work demands a minimum level of self care, which is also a good thing.

Before addressing UBI, a concept my avatar strongly advocated, perhaps we should address two basic rights (which many view as privileges) that have been underscored in the aftermath of COVID-19: universal health care and universal housing.

A big benefit of a UBI, and a big reason the elites will fight it, is that it gives people "fuck you" money if it provides a basic level of subsistence. If your employer screws you, you're less likely to be so hand to mouth that you can't quit on the spot and take a little time to find another job. Right now people are dependent on their employer, often in a hand-to-mouth way, and employers know it and take advantage of it.

The other missing piece is to decouple health care from employment. Many, many people stay with jobs they hate because they need the health insurance.

How much would you say UBI should be per month?

I think it could work in a positive way in our constitutional republic without driving us into a Marxist style society. A UBI in an amount that assures only nutrition, shelter and basic clothing ought to be doable.  Unfortunately, a bit late...  We are submerged in a drug and other addictives existence.  Anything a UBI might otherwise soften would certainly be abused and pipelined to purveyors of addictive substitutes for satisfaction of secondary needs and drives.  WE are terminal.

UBI is a needed thing to help with the general welfare of the people. Just enough of it to get you by and also provide you with the necessary healthcare. One reason it is proposed is that we have too many products and apps and those that make them want to continue making a profit. They are willing to cave for a bit less and help citizens out in order to keep going with business as usual. Where will the money come from? Those who view us as the product will be making this happen. Beyond all that you can start a business and make all the capital that you like. Other countries have this sort of system now and it helps to take care of many people.

I am, but in this country (US), we will figure out how to ruin it. Imagine a democratic President gets a UBI bill passed. When the Republicans get back in power (in whatever form the bourgeoisie takes), they will simply modify it so that it doesn't provide enough real help to the masses. They could make sure it isn't matched to inflation, for example, and then let inflation run wild, effectively making a UBI worthless. If not this, then something, but the ruling class will ensure that they game this in their favor as everything else.
No I am not interested in Andrew Yang (preemptive strike).

Affirmative. A correctly configured UBI will eliminate the need for social welfare programs, employment insurance, minimum wages, etc., and will be a net zero cost to society. It will allow youth to accept low paying jobs, thereby gaining valuable experience and qualifications. It will eliminate the financial incentive to form fatherless families. It will lessen the power of the "Nanny State" and restore that power to individuals.

If and only if one receives it after being certified as receiving reversible birth control. That should be the caveat requirement for getting most government services and voting privileges.

Such schemes are not just unrealistic and ineffective, they are also suspect on Democratic grounds.But UBI is a flawed idea, not least because it would be prohibitively expensive unless accompanied by deep cuts to the rest of the safety net. In the US (population 327 million), a UBI of just $1000 per month would cost around $4 trillion per year, which is close to the entire federal budget in 2018.Without major cost savings, federal tax revenues would have to be doubled which would impose massive distortionary costs on the economy. And, no ,a permanent UBI could not be financed with government debt or newly printed currency. Sacrificing all of the social programs for the sake of a UBI is a terrible idea. Finally, much of the enthusiasm for UBI is based on a miss reading of employment trends in advanced economies.

I'm in favor of exploring it. Sure sounds like a good idea if there aren't going to be enough quality jobs for people in the future, because collective well being is important to me. But I favor nothing that isn't first explored scientifically, or with good data.

Absolutely. Along with universal healthcare, universal education and any and every thing that makes life better for all homo-sapiens.

Yes I am.

Yes.
