As I explained above, UBI is not going to happen. UBI, like other types of social safety-nets (health insurance, publically-funded college eduction, social security, etc) is a project of the left. But the world is shifting to the right. All over the world right-wing, authoritarians are coming into power. Who do you think will win in the US 2024 elections? And the right does not like UBI or any other social safety net programmes.

The "bubble of bliss", as Yuli-Ban, above, calls it, that we're living in is the historical exception. Throughout all of human history there were no "social safety nets". The common people died by their millions in plagues, famines, wars or just general chaos. But the species survived and will continue to do so.
