Is UBI Really the Answer for New Zealand? Universal Basic Income Explained13 ago25 min

Governments around the world are talking about paying you to exist. It's called a universal basic income, and AI is the reason it's back on the table.

In this episode I look at what's actually being proposed here in New Zealand and overseas, what the real-world pilots in Finland and Ontario showed, what a land tax looks like from someone who actually holds land, and the part almost nobody talks about: what happens to the relationship between you and your government when your income and your money both come from the same place.
