[Michael Millar]
SUMMARY: A case for unconditional basic income is argued and backed up by statistics. First, the German constitution and Federal courts rule that a subsistence level must be assured for all citizens at all times. There are also millions of people who are entitled to benefits but choose not to apply out of shame or ignorance, so the number of unemployed is much higher than official government figures. Very few vacant jobs exist, and it will only worsen as technology is making jobs and skills redundant through automation and computerization.
