Yes, I agree that UBI is not a perfect solution. I will say that there doesn’t seem to be a batter “bandaid” for all the pain and suffering induced by our capitalist system.
Our situation is bad, so we need a compromise solution - thus, UBI.

It’s not talked about in the general public very much, so I wanted to hear people’s thoughts and make a conversation. Maybe you see them a lot, but I don’t. Don’t assume everyone sees what you see online
If you don’t have anything to say, that’s fine. It is a worthwhile discussion though.

It’s a great question! If that were easy, we’d be in a lot better shape lmao.
The UN human rights declaration has things like food, water, and shelter as basic rights, which it’s hard to disagree with. Plus it’s the UN. So maybe that has some credibility? Idk

Exactly. It’ll get so much worse, so we need to think about things ahead of time in my opinion.

I agree. It’s either that or a different UBI-style solution, but it’s still a hard sell.
