I don't know enough about Denmark to evaluate your comment, but stipulate that it's true, and then, if you'd like to reframe my list as "a list of things startups could do to use the market to make the US more like Denmark", I would have no objection.
Sure but Basic Income is about something else, something bigger.
It's about solving the fact that everyone is going to be out of a job.
If you only go to it by thinking you have to find a solution to the current workforce and income distribution problem then you are missing the real problem.
Denmark pays a lot in taxes, free healthcare, free education (even university), students get paid to study, redistribute wealth quite a lot and so on.
Problem is still there. The rich get richer compared to the poor while everyone is getting richer overall.
I'm not interested in litigating basic income; I'm confining my responses to the terms 'sama set up: "things startups can conceivably do". That doesn't mean I believe startups are the most important vector in improving public policy.
