unless you have conditions that require you to have quick access to hospital, or doesn't allow you to work in physically intensive labor like farms, or require certain infrastructure like elevators and access to wheelchairs, etc. i can see that working for some people, but not for everyone. and the people that would be left behind could be dramatically affected by this situation
Moving to more rural areas is what causes rural areas to build hospitals, and doctors to open clinics and offices. There are plenty of jobs everywhere that just involve sitting on your ass in front of a screen, or standing behind a counter. Even in rural areas.
Growth doesn't just happen. People have to go places and build. UBI would make that process a shit ton easier.
I mean, sure… but it's hard to build specialized medical facilities for people who need them in every rural area they decide to live, right? and it's basically impossible to keep them running when there's only a few people that will need them in that area, no? at some point, the places they can choose to live will be heavily informed by the disabilities they may or may not have.
eventually, you will probably end up with highly concentrated areas of people who have similar disabilities that can be treated in that area (as well as their loved ones, medics/physicians, people who provide food, transportation, etc…).
I don't want to come across as against UBI, I think it's a very interesting first approach. but I also definitely don't believe it's a solution by any , you see…
It turns out the specialized medical needs are kind of special, and they fly people to where there are facilities when they're needed. And only affects a special portion of the population. For everyone else it doesn't matter.
For fuck sake people crossed the entire US in a god damn wagon while risking being shot at by random tribes and eaten by bears. What's stopping people now is that they can't afford food or a place to park the damn wagon without getting harassed by the cops.
