I'm sick of this stuff. CBS keeps shutting down works of love from fans of their show. This is due to Copyright law being too draconian. Star Trek is a cultural heritage and shouldn't be used by CBS to attack fans any more.

The very first argument in the article is flawed which leads me to wonder how much of it is or isn't flawed. It talks about a Universal Basic Income for everyone over 21.. then it complains that would cost 3 trillion dollars for all of

That's ridiculous. Who's going to do the work? Not government workers. Who's going to provide the services? Not the government. The funds would be raised the same way as any other corporate project. The only difference is sep
