Except there are already countries that have UBI. Namely Iran and Macau. There are also multiple different state/cities caross the world that also have it.

What is unlikely is that happning in any country run by a capitalist system.

Didn’t know Macau had one, and it sounds pretty nice, despite it being “too low and infrequent”. But I don’t know enough to form an opinion. At least good to know, thanks.

Iran…i meant at least half-assedly civilized countries, not those running sharia-law, death-sentence, no press-freedom, systematic discrimination of minorities etc. Can’t judge the effectiveness or the UBI there, and also don’t really care.
