Reply to How are we feeling about a possible UBI? by theshadowturtle

If people spend this money in local business, it could work.

If people keep buying from big corporation to save pennies, well, the rich will become richier with taxpayer money :(

Edit: I'm counting creative stuff on internet as local busines ass well.

If we can't, perhaps someday other species will be able to.

Something really bad will happen, perhaps a nuclear war, perhaps a giant vulcano. We will need to stick togeter as humans or perish like animals.

Reply to Does anyone else feel like we just avoided a high-tech evil fascist dystopia due to the midterm election results? by [deleted]

We are already living in a facist dystopia for decades by now. Politcs are just a show to make the masses think they have any saying on what happens to their country.

The real powerful people govern trough the shadows, pupetting both sides and laughting at the common folk. And I'm not talking about bilionaries or bankers, they also have to answer to the secret lords.
