The scheme is bigger than employees/businesses, I would recommend folks read up on it.

It's a ploy to get the Federal government to distribute an equal amount of money to folks who don't have that in income. In other words, it rewards people who chose not to work on the backs of those who do by equalizing outcomes.

The amounts I've seen floated around are anywhere from $18,000 to $30,000. The moral argument is that everyone should have the same basic quality of life no matter their level of participation in the economy.

With available jobs, that's a moral hazard. With robots taking those jobs because of Lib policies, I don't know.
