I agree in theory, but this is so extremely far from the US political and social system that I think no nation has ever changed so much without being overthrown

I agree in theory, but this is so extremely far from the US political and social system that I think no nation has ever changed so much without being overthrown. So unless you’re talking about plans for a post-US world, this idea will always be theoretical and not how “the world” works.
- hunterpayne 4mo ago"a post-US world" I see, so you like large scale warfare then. Did you run out of WWII docs and want some more history for content?
- checker 4mo agoParent didn't say they liked it; I'm reading it as an expression of concern (that I share).
- stratos123 5mo agoI'm not sure it's that far out of the Overton window. US already managed to do some small-scale UBI trials, after all. Maybe one day it can do a countrywide trial.
- hunterpayne 4mo agoNo it hasn't. To actually try it requires giving to a large enough population that it can impact prices and inflation. Also, every time this has ever been tried it ended in atrocity. Lookup "War communism" to see what happened. Money literally predates civilization. The first writing we have are sales invoices.
