UBI would only ever work in Star Trek world: a world where there is infinite cheap power, instant atom level recycling and zero resource scarcity.

Real UBI would be much more like The Expanse and less like Star Trek.

Just because COVID was the largest psyop and authoritarian litmus test the world has even seen, doesn't discredit what it showed us specifically about modern monetary theory, a.k.a just printing money.

Money has to represent some value. When you hand out that much of it without exchanging value, the rest in circulation looses value.

I'm not in favor of UBI generally, but this is a misunderstanding of what happened during Covid.
Yes, "stimmy checks" were handed out, but there was a lot of other insane (& criminal) financial engineering going on.
Using policies to shut down small businesses to give large players a de-facto monopoly has also enabled a lot the problems.

I understand the point you're making but it's a pet peeve of mine when people blame inflation entirely on low-income recipients when there was a lot of fraud and outright financialized looting going on.

I do agree with your primary point though, I would just suggest pointing to "government taking direct control of the economy" rather than the mere handouts which were only a bribe to enable much worse pillaging.

Imagine still promoting UBI after witnessing first hand how much all the free COVID money fucked the economy.

Not to mention the constant warnings of nuclear war and nuclear winter.

the last 100 years has seen the greatest de-skilling of self sufficient skills in history.

the average person is completely depended on the state, and corporations for everything they need to live on a daily basis.

many people get mad about "you will own nothing, and be happy" without realizing they are 90% there already.

we should know how our technology works, and how to repair it.
we should know how our food is grown, and how to grow at least some of it.
we should know how to make at least some of the things we use every day.
we should not let distant politicians choose for us.

if you really see what i am talking about, you will know how vast the matrix is, and how overwhelming it seems to get out.
start with one thing. get soverign to the best of your ability in one area. just one.

I'm working on a sci-fi text parser adventure, Tachyon Dreams Anthology. Coming out soon!

Meanwhile, you can wishlist the game on Steam & try the demo 👇
