content: So are we going to go down the basic income route or the dystopian, mega-poverty route?  Basic income is an unworkable idea. I don't know why people keep bringing it up. They barely have a grasp of economics. They don't even know what money is, or how the system works. You can't just hand cash out to everyone. A lot of countries have tried this, and they just devalued their currency, and caused hyper inflation. Do you not get that? Or are you willfully ignorant?
