    UBI isn’t viable without other changes, but it’s just an improvement of various welfare systems, just without all the paperwork and exceptions. “Too expensive” is usually the excuse thrown around, which is funny given the news of how much killing or disappearing people is costing, all because some person in the White House needs a distraction.

      Sure, but it’s not going to happen, and if it did it would quickly devolve into shutting undesirables out. Maybe we should work towards achievable goals first.

        If we take that approach with any change, that it might be possible but it also could fail or become corrupt, then we’re just going to spin wheels. Like we’re doing. We have to change something, this isn’t working.
