At least we have one honest socialist who admits that the appeal is to lazy people who don’t want to work. They want you to work and they’ll reap part of the benefits.
It is modern slavery but wealth redistribution promotes laziness.
Instead everyone should be given their own plot of land to farm. You can stay at home but if you don’t work the land you don’t eat.
Companies will have a hard time justifying the need to be in the office. Mine had everyone working from home in 7 days before the shutdowns even started (did a test run on March 11th to make sure network handled it). I had always complained about having to be in the office to monitor systems over the weekend of our busy season. None of the bullshit excuses from management are going to fly anymore. If I have to stay at home and be on call that is fine, but don't tell me I need to spend my weekend in the office.
Hell yeah. I love working from home. Very rarely sober
I told my dad I'd be off work a while yet and he said that's not good. I was like, it is good. The money I'd make would be spent anyways and I'm saving the same amount now which is 1000 per month as I would be when working and spending more. My company is paying me still at a slightly reduced rate for not even working. I have more free time to do what I want and am running more.
Interesting how the OP ties staying at home and UBI, what a looser.

It's true. Most work done at home is and will be done drunk. It is man's nature.
I can be just as productive at home and have more time to run without commuting and easier to run at lunch.
How much does it cost per employee to have an office? Pay me some of that cost and some share to my company and everyone wins.
IT support worker here , i won't lie, been ripped and on friday was turning the hot office workers vpn network connections on and off just so they call and talk to me .

Alexandria, you are beyond silly; you are dangerous.

There's a huge difference between those $600/week guys making $1000 per week on unemployment and those working from home.
I work from home but I'm considering going back to the office. Separate work from family life is a big advantage. Working from home, it's a big blur. If you have a family, you may have less free time.
Paying people more to not work than work was a huge mistake. I agree.

I'd f*cking love to go back to work. Words cannot properly explain how much I hate sitting in the house all day. I wanna get up and do something god dammit.
Ha. I love hitting my vape in my bedroom AKA the home office.
Every now and then I have to pause what I'm doing and put on my customer service voice. I have not noticed a decline in productivity. I goof around on my browser just as much in the office.

I’m not totally in favor of basic income however:
At lot of jobs are low-skill and unpleasant but provide a vital function, for example janitors, carers, trash collectors, USPS, factory jobs, etc.
A basic income paid a livable amount would mean these people would have leverage over their employers - they’ll say I’ll do the job, but for a higher salary/better perks please as I’m not reliant on your work to survive.
That sort of leverage is taken for granted in white collar jobs/

Remember that we should all be in favor of wealth redistribution, it’s just the mechanism which we argue about.
When I buy a coffee, that’s me redistributing wealth from my salary to another.
And by the way, the idea that we all have equal access to economic production (land) if a much more left-wing idea than universal basic income!

That's all well and good, but there's too much capital tied up in corporate real estate for big companies to ever deliberately devalue that investment just so you can sit on a conference call in your jam jams. Get ready to get your lazy ass back into the office and please be sure to shave.
I'd rather be at work than working from home. I actually run better with a tighter schedule and I have an opportunity to actually have a conversation with someone other than my cat. Working from home might be nice if you live in trailland usa, but I actually picked where I'd work based on being able to run right after work with good running near my job site. At home, running wise I'm disadvantaged.

No dingus. You buying coffee or dinner or a sofa is not wealth distribution, that is called economics. You are paying for a good and service that you deign to be worthwhile.
Wealth distribution is forcibly taking someone's money or assets, stuff that they have earned, and giving it to somebody that has not earned it.
