IMO poverty will be the normal state of 2/3 of humanity due to technological unemployment. UBI will be successful exactly nowhere except maybe the USA if they manage to keep the status of the dollar as wolrds reserve currency.

I wonder if people will start to make shell companies to just go brankrupt when this happens and start afresh with another company. The cloud vendor doesn't look too closely ehat you are running right? So this could work.

Usually this gets done "under the table". I don't think there's anythibg really preventing it stateside since labir protections are flimsy and are there only for citizens /residents.

Pardon my ignorance but isn't it a huge mistake to place non german speaking children in these classes? They just hope they'll pick it up along the way? Isn't it throwing them to the wolves?

Just give it time until europe reaches late stage capitalism. Yes, they didn't have as many neoliberal waves eroding the social fabric in name of capitalism.

If you liked this you should know about endemic warfare and ritualistic warfare, in the most civil examples it amounted to a very intense game apparently where they'd just raid for stuff or women without killing each other. Sicilian de
