Wouldn't replacing our system with UBI be a better option?

During the CARES Act we gave ~$3900/month* for people to be unemployed, but essential workers got absolutely ****ed.

If our welfare state will continue to expand, why not make it universal so everyone gets a check?

I dunno, maybe.

Tbh Im not even gonna worry about any of it at this point. Ive spent too much time worrying about things 95% of people cant be bothered to pay attention to. Ill just make the most of whatever situation we got and try to see what’s coming before the shlubs do, so at least I can protect myself.

As long as Leo and his celeb pals can jet out to his new orgy island, it will all be okay. We just need to drive less. We need to eat less meat. We need less cow farts. Anything so long as Leo Dicaprio and the Dalai Lama can privately bang ho's on Dicaprio island.

Kind of funny that the people pushing for higher minimum wages for low-skilled workers are also helping expedite the threat of automation.
