ML-Implode News - Finland plans to give every citizen a basic income of 800 euros a month

... if all goes to schedule, Finland will scrap all existing benefits and instead hand out â‚¬800 ($870) per month--to everyone. It sounds far-fetched, but it's looking likely that Finland will carry through with the idea. Whereas several Dutch cities will introduce basic income next year and Switzerland is holding a referendum on the subject, there is strongest political and public support for the idea in Finland.
... a basic income would allow people to take on low-paying jobs without personal cost. At the moment, a temporary job results in lower welfare benefits, which can lead to an overall drop in income.

Hmmm... we're not sure that a worthwhile goal of this system is allowing employers to free-ride on public welfare... otherwise basic income seems to be a simple solution to a maze of public support and "non-support" (distress) services costs.
