I think (at least in the US) a radical increase of affordable housing, guaranteed food (you'd be amazed how much food is wasted every year in the name of profit here, it's fucking ridiculous) and free health care (having thousands to weather a medical emergency is asinine) would be a strong base to build a UBI off of. The bootstrappers, lickers, and "that's communism and that's bad" people would disagree but for the purposes of this argument I think this is the best way forward if UBI were introduced. A guarantee for medical services and a full stomach, along with a fighting chance to have a roof over your head without having to hold three jobs to do it.
(I think we should have the above anyways as the system clearly isn't working as it stands)

Well shit, thank you for the history lesson. That's interesting stuff. I need to go find something better to do with my time now that I'm not trying to disprove the existence of airports.

It's okay, you don't have to pretend you're joking. We all know that flying isn't real, everybody is too concerned with being PC to publicly acknowledge that airports are a collective hysteria-induced hallucination

If it's 1:1, I would imagine so, if the people eating it weren't precious about the source

That's the thing, we can, but we don't
