In June, the City Council of Utrecht in The Netherlands announced that starting January 2016, a few lucky residents will receive a monthly stipend to cover their basic needs with no strings attached. That means that the recipients will have to do nothing in return and can spend the rest of their days lounging by a pool if they so wish.

          people are lazy workers if they hate their job and sanitary work would be done by criminals and wokers who wank base income and full salary. and people would be able to innovate and improve as whole. also poverty is wrong so as it would eliminate poverty it is good and people who are seeking work or working a job that does not meet income can get more than couch people. but I see how democracy and socialism are an exelent combination. even though I am only in 9th grade

            I am not in favor of this idea!!!! I agree that it would not be fair and that the way of life is more important than the econemy. It is not worth a risk to lose everything and the econemy would go down. It is not right that people lose their money.

                  If this has been tried in countries around the world and it didn't take off then it didn't work did it! Also I trust nothing like this that governments put forward...it's just a slow progression to slave labour....this is where it's going!

                    I don't really agree with the "lazy people" that will just get money for free. Its completely unfair and the people who would work hard for that money won't even get a " Thank you ". It's just a bad way to manage the world like that. If that happened, no one would work, that means less money. Everyone would quit jobs if they just had money delivered right to their doorstep! If people worked for their money, then " lazy people " would start work, and that means more money. It's smart to let people choose their jobs and be happy instead of them getting rich from laying around all day! The needy doesn't want it, they NEED it. And if people quit their jobs, that means no money for them. Please no hate and I know this comment is long but please understand what I am saying. Thanks!

                      I agree because you can always give the not as sanitary jobs to criminals like community service.
