In early June the Swiss will be called upon to make a historic decision.Switzerland is the first country worldwide to put the idea of an Unconditional Basic Income (of $2,500 per month for every man, woman, and child for doing absolutely nothing) to a vote and the outcome of this referendum will set a strong precedent and establish a landmark in the evolution of this debate.

Sounds like a good thing unfortunately it will not be enough to pay lodging and food and the many "want" items that robots will produce. They better up the ante.

At that price, what are they going to do about people who continue to get pregnant for the salary?

15 x kids + mum and pop =$42,500 a month lol

Good Idea - in England the Royals carved up the country and took everything. Yet they call petty criminals, blacks and scousers thieves! The thieves are the power elite - same in the USA but without the Royal Firm.

Good point. Should compensate for jobs lost through automation.

Good luck living in Switzerland on this amount of money.

Cost of living is huge in Switzerland.
