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.
My fucking god I hate UBI people so goddamn much because they are goddamn dismal failures at basic fucking math.
The entire federal budget expenditure in 2019 was 355 billion and that created a 19 billion dollar deficit. Do some fucking math. UBI is a fancy form of communism. All the models UBI "that show good results" are so fatally flawed - OF COURSE people's quality of life is going to get better if you just give them an extra $2000 or whatever it was - because the rest of society is using the "old model". These dumb fucks..these fucking dumb fucks don't know how to predict the future - SURE, UBI WORKS NOW...what about 5 years? 10? 20? 50? When the system 'catches up' with all the change? Fucking hell...It takes 2 minutes to think it through and UBI just dissolves immediately. It will not work. It doesn't work. God...
Christ not to mention the taxation. Implement UBI, tax the piss out of the working class/middle class/high class. High Class flee the country, because they can - taking their multi-million dollar business with them. Unemployment sky rockets because all these jobs are fleeing. Suddenly no one can pay for UBI...Fucking hell.

There's also the crowd that says "But UBI will be clawed back if you make too much". THEN IT'S NOT UNIVERSAL YOU LAZY FUCK.
But please keep dreaming of free money. Don't get a job like the rest of us.
