I will add one silver lining to all of this (since I agree with everyone talking here that IRC is "hard"), Slack is also hard. That is to say, we're still in low hanging fruit phase. I don't know if I was just doing it

As I stated in my own comment, we already have a form of this today, so clearly I do think it is similar to our current system. However, I think that a defining differentiator is that a basic income can assist in luxury assistance beyond pu

Like most basic income proponents, this article conveniently forgets the actual problem with basic income: it hurts immigration. Granted, with the amount of people against immigration maybe it would actually help these arguments, but the tr

Games also often have loading screens. I think the real counter there is that there is a big difference between waiting to play a 3d game vs waiting to read a news article.
