  Thank you! Honestly UBI studies only make me feel angry and hopeless anymore, since it’s so clear policy will never change.

    Of course not. If people aren’t desperate any more, they’re far harder to control.

      And thus we see why UBI will never be a solution. You need an overwhelming political movement by the people outside the electoral system. And if the people can force through UBI, why would you, when the people could actually take the reins.

  I’d quit my job… and do something that actually creates value in my community like being a teacher or some shit.
