# **What are we talking about?**
*From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income):*
> Universal basic income (UBI) is a sociopolitical financial transfer policy proposal in which all citizens of a given population regularly receive a legally stipulated and equally set financial grant paid by the government without a means test
*If you prefer a video*, Kurzgesagt’s [Universal Basic Income Explained](https://youtube.com/watch?v=kl39KHS07Xc) explains it more in depth.
Basically, *if you feel like you don’t have enough time for yourself or for the activities and people you care about*, that your time at work is often wasted, if you struggle to make ends meet with the money you make or that 8 working hours per day are too much, *UBI could make our life easier and more enjoyable*.

A: *It is an official and regulated mechanism* that can’t be ignored by the European Commission, unlike any other petitions site.
Q: **There’s no way we’ll reach the set goal in 3 weeks, why should I sign?**

I dont trust it
Malo mi je shady da moraš dat podatke osebnega dokumenta, ampak stran in reference zgledajo legit 🤔 je kdo že izpolnjeval kaj podobnega?
No! We don’t want more money printing
Slovenia – 118%
You say “vote” and then it turns out you can only “sign” in support of this. Where can I vote against?
Where can I vote against this?
As much as i see why this could be useful, Wouldn’t this instead just promote not working?
I think instead people should push for 6-7hr work week without a paycut.
Nope, UBI is legalized explotitation of workers and redistribution to nonworkers.
In my opinion there are already too many people who are getting social care and not work anything in our country. UBI would promote laziness even more.
Get out of here with this nonsense. Fake altruism just another tool for the dictators of the great reset to control the masses. Do i get this money if I don’t do what some talking head that never got elected said it’s a good idea? Asking for a friend.
