I like the idea of a basic income. It gets rid of the poverty trap and the negative effects seen in the studies so far don&#x27;t look too bad. I look forward to seing the results of these experiment.<p>If you make a change like this though, I think a lot of other adjustments logically follow. Adjusting the previous benefits and tax system is a no-brainer. The cost has to be funded somehow. Beyond that though, there are a lot of other regulations and laws that would need to be reconsidered. There doesn&#x27;t seem any sense having a minimum wage for example if you already have a basic income. It would also seem reasonable to relax some job protection legislation to create a more flexible labour market. In the UK if you quit your job you are not entitled to unemployment benefits, but that disadvantage would be gone. It would be easier for workers to go on strike because they&#x27;d still get the basic income. I think it would be reasonable in exchange to reduce the costs to employers making redundancies.
