In 'Merica, they'll just let people starve and live on the streets. They'll need to pull those bootstraps harder.
Will the UBI be enough, or will it be used to ensure nothing about the Japanese economy's relationship with it's workers will change?
A lot harder to exploit a worker if they can leave at any time without facing homelessness or starvation as a consequence.
Yeah, but will Japan's UBI give them that sort of bargaining power? Seems highly unlikely tbh.
Pretty big question to analyze for a lemmy comment, but my take is it's as good a start as I could hope for, and even if it's wrong it's worth trying just to learn what happens
I think unless this particular minister is somehow willing to go against the grain or is particularly imaginative, I think the conclusion has been pretty much written already.
Of course we should keep an eye on what happens, especially the minutiae of what they discuss, their motivations. The financial papers tend to be brazen about this sort of thing (wsj, ft, and the Japanese one that I don't know lol).
