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.

      I don't think this will work. What if people 100% lounge, and take advantage of the situation and not do ANYTHING?

              if there is permenant unconditional income, students a round the world will feel like the no longer have to learn in school because there lives are paid for. That would not be good for our world.
