    They’ll give us a means tested barely functional bunch of shit they call UBI once the food riots start. It will help almost nobody and run at 60+% admin overhead.

    They will tell us this is efficient.

      They’ll give it to everyone because nobody will be around to buy their shit otherwise.

      Don’t mistake this for a positive outcome.

        I truly believe they’d rather let the whole country collapse than give us universal healthcare or UBI.

        If it ever happens it will happen as a fear response to massive widespread violence.

        All these corps and billionaires. They can change their money to a different currency with a phone call. They can move money on that same call. They can just run away to a stable country when it all goes to hell here.
