UBI isnt the solution, there just isnt a better response that has even slight chance of being implemented.

There needs to be a radical shift in how we look at our economic systems and culture in the medium term. However, if the currently proposed health care replacement is evidence of current thinking, U I is a pipe dream.

I don't usually make predictions, but it is going to get very ugly in the next 10 years if nothing changes.



IIRC the margin for single payer healthcare being not considered under Obama was Joe Lieberman demanding it be removed from the ACA/Obamacare in the Senate. And this was only because the Democrats were honoring the filibuster so they wanted 60 votes, when they could have removed the filibuster like the GOP did for the Supreme Court nomination.
