Wishful thinking. The world is shifting to the right because people are scared of all the rapid economic, geopolitical, cultural and technological change happening. And the pace of change will only speed up, especially with AI. So the world will shift even farther to the right. UBI is a dream of the left. Ain't gonna happen.

It will, my time frame maybe to short, but its coming. The world is not scared, conservatives are. Progress will never stop. It may wax and wane but it always moves forward.

When the conservatives start losing their jobs and they struggle to feed their kids due to AI they will get in line and run to the govt. Just like the always do when things get hard.

Happened during the Great Depression, happens during disasters, happened during 9/11, happening now with the rail disaster in East Palestine, OH. Conservative love big government as long as it benefits them. Even now conservatives overwhelmingly approve of govt. programs such as social security, medicare, veterans benefits, etc. This is true of conservatism across the world.
