A “basic income” is a general income unconditionally granted to all, without any means test or requirement to work. It is an individual entitlement with no strings attached. In GUS there will be means test and requirement to work as broadly defined if required subject to different environment. The time to waste on productivity or feeding the lazy arguments can be countered with a meritocracy policies to convince the mass public. There is no country in the world that is 100% without laws, regulations or policies. Any sane man want to argue that its an infringement of 100% freedom and human rights will be out of mind. Every place need a governing body to set the rules for peaceful social interaction in peaceful manners and therefore the unconditional UBI always in discussion is really only for dreamers that believe all human being are born good, will work productively by self and will never cause harm or take advantage of another beings. The facts and figures on crime rate despite what our current system created is proof to counter this or individuals can be easily identified in any part of the communities to be unproductive as defined. Meritocracy will be replacing unconditional under GUS as more effective and convincing system. As for the 'universal' definition, as long as the biggest membership organization UN representing the majority country is unable to come up with an UBI globally for all from birth equally, its only fake universal that treat people unequally from different regions or countries as they deem fit to solve the domestic overblown social budget at hand only. Either excuse to raise tax as major source of funding UBI or as means to reduce minimum wages/ salaries ceiling that will benefit corporations further. Refer to http://ift.tt/2hXDfcU for my concept of UBI, but not on the unconditional definition. The UBI should be changed to domestic or local basic income instead as it only address a country basic income, not globally. No organization yet to discuss how a higher UBI in one country higher /lower over another really address the issue of equality from birth. Therefore GUS will calculate UBI for everyone alive from birth and set a basic living standard that guarantee shelter, food and education foremost. GUS will start off as fully 100% users registered owned in future of any corporations or organizations it may need to create and be 100% open for accountable and transparent as possible for public scrutiny. The objective to set benchmark policies and rules over current world standard in place will be an ongoing drive. Democratic voting over secured blockchain platform eg dash.org or theDAOhub.org will be in place to govern the system running in proper best available structures. There will not be hidden operations under the clauses of confidentiality, trade secrets or legal loopholes to make extra profit for any individuals or partners. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J http://ift.tt/2hX0EjD
