(428 posts)1. I have only been reading about UBI for the last 2 years
but from what i see i think it is worth a try.

(115,103 posts)2. I just found out about it this year.
But I'd been dreaming of something like this for far longer. It's so good to see it finally getting more widespread acceptance.
Most people reject it out of hand when they first hear about it, but then after doing some research come around.

(428 posts)3. i just did a search for it (the first time in a while)
and i am surprised and how many anti ubi articles are now being pushed to the top of the inquires, when just 2 years ago the searches came up mostly positive at that time.
Finland was starting their trial system and it was mostly positive. but what a swamp of mis info being pushed now that a candidate is talking about it. sad

We really need a UBI and a total rethink of where we want our economy & country to go.
