Is a basic Income ok?

No, it is paying people for existing and very immoral. It is welfare on stilts and whilst it is a massive simplification of an extremely complex unwieldy cumbersome Byzantine bureaucratic multi duplicating wasteful welfare system  and therefor as such, an improvement, the idea of unearned income still remains fundamentally immoral and evil.

It is based on the profoundly erroneous concept of  scarcity sustainability and limits to growth theory as though the stuff that can be produced is finite and human beings will cease to be productive beyond a certain point as they will run out of resources and ideas. All of human history has proved this to be a groundless fallacy as endless inventions and innovations ensure that no such limit to human creativity has ever or will ever occur just as long as human beings continue to think and innovate.

New forms of work will evolve, new jobs appear and the end of work and creativity will remain the apocalyptic and armageddon fantasy of statists with no clue about human creativity and its limitless potential.
