I actually think one way to save our society is to accelerate the collapse. Let's implement a $40k/yr UBI. Fund it all on debt. Would be a huge wake-up call to the marxists in society.
Ive been saying for years that things have to get a lot worse before they can get better. Sheep are a stupid breed and herding them really is an artform. Pain serves the purpose of teaching an infant about things not to do an unfortunately we are going to have to blow up our economy and probably parliamentary level political system before they will start asking for things that would improve our state. It really is unfortunate the amount of power assholes wield with a dumb/ignorant public.
The problem with implementing something unrealistic like $1MM/yr is that then when the system collapses the communists will just say "it was never implemented properly, if we instead had a realistic UBI like $20k/yr then it would have worked". And we're busy fighting "not real socialism" which has been an endless battle already.
