i can leave a more detailed response later
but the tl;dr response to all the people who are challenging the notion is - regardless of how unsavory it appears, it's something that we'll need to implement sooner or later. preferably sooner rather than later. --- These people are literally ignorant of the law. It's astounding. As the situation escalates I will come out victorious. - DawkinsNumber4 ... Copied to Clipboard!

realistically UBI would be replacing essentially every social program
one of the flaws in my opinion is that a lot of people need more than that to keep things together, and the current system allows for that (medicaid paying for expensive medical treatments, for example) if you start tinkering with it to adjust based on need you're pretty much just trying to streamline what we do already --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...
