Unconditional basic income isn't just dollar bills. It's freedom, trust, security, and power. It's a world where your value isn't measured by societal expectations. The old regime shivers at this shift – they'd sooner dub us idle than confront their fear of an unleashed and empowered society.

@scottsantens Support should be conditional, not a free ride. I will always support good conditional welfare programs but UBI is not the right solution or direction to our problems.

UBI is the same as a conditional welfare benefit, only in a smart way.
If you don't have a job you get free money, if you have a job you get free money + a salary from which tax will be deducted, and if your salary is large enough you will pay more taxes than you get free money.
It's a welfare autobalancer!

That isnt the sort of conditions im talking about. The condition is not "i need the money" the condition is that you are willing to go out at invest in your career to not need the money and not just use it to coast.
