Minister of Labor in the Shitstorm

On Tuesday, May 09.05.2017th, XNUMX, Andrea Nahles also spoke on the subject of unconditional basic income at the Re:publica in Berlin - and thus triggered a shitstorm. Strictly speaking, hers didn't solve it Rede a shitstorm, but what Deutschlandfunk made of it.

The handle took the following quotation from the speech and thus from its context and posted the following post on its website:

“Basic income means that no one does poorly or low-paid work anymore.”

What did Andrea Nahles really say?

No wonder that the comments on Facebook heaped up: The post has now been shared more than 4.000 times, and the Shitstorm has also been picked up by other media such as the Berliner Morgenpost.

Andrea Nahles questioned precisely this argument, which is often led by opponents and advocates of the basic income. The quotation in the context:

“Basic income means that no one does poorly or low-paid work anymore. Guys, if that were true, I would waver. ”

The conservative point of view: work as value

Only in the further course of the lecture will clear, what Nahles means by that: The basic income can, according to her Opinions, do not prevent badly paid jobs. On the contrary, precisely because People then only have to earn extra money, the pay is even worse - and probably the reputation is lower.

For me, that is the crux of the matter in Nahles' argument: work becomes part of ours Society considered as a value in itself. The Secretary of Labor has none Lust on the basic income because she would rather remain independent. And your own work is the means to independence, those who are active are also rewarded.

Now this view is only a few hundred years old in the history of mankind, in ancient times, for example, idleness was considered chic. The statement of Ms. Nahles also shows how much this way of thinking has become part of our flesh and blood.

If, on the other hand, the forecasts of the Institute for Employment Research (IAB), Richard David Precht or brain researchers Professor Dr. Gerald Hüther may believe, that's how it will be in Future none other Solution give more than an unconditional basic income.

The reason for this is the digitalization and also the transformation of the automobile industry Interview with Deutschlandfunk:

"People will continue to work in the future," he admits. “But they may not be for it anymore Money do, and they might not do it for one anymore Company do and they will no longer do it as an employee."

And the brain researcher Professor Dr. Gerald Hüther will be in the Epoch Times quotes:

“In 20 years, only those who really want to work and do something for society will work”

Experiments on Basic Income

It is therefore exciting that there are already first successful field trials with the unconditional basic income:

For example the non-profit association “Mein Grundeinkommen” from Berlin. being Objective is to find out what Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) does to people. Since September 2014 “My Basic Income” has been funding UBI through crowdfunding. As soon as 12.000 euros are available, they will be raffled off to a person who will then unconditionally receive 1.000 euros per month for one year. Only recently did the club equal to 15 for one year.
