Yea I would like to learn more about a 2nd or 3rd world take on UBI because it doesn’t even seem in reach in first world countries. Same goes for the 4 day workweek! There’s a lot of countries that provide free healthcare, like Cuba. So UBI should be possible in places like Cuba? At the same time, the robots haven’t taken people’s jobs in Cuba yet. Another question. Shouldn’t some sort of Universal Healthcare come before UBI?

> Shouldn’t some sort of Universal Healthcare come before UBI? Good question, I don’t know, but maybe yes, especially if it takes longer to implement UBI than healthcare. OTOH, if a UBI was enough money to cover both healthcare and living expenses, and if it was achievable and could be implemented just as quickly, then there’s nothing wrong with that. Realistically UBI is probably much more difficult politically, and more expensive, so you’re probably right.
