    My only thing on UBI is who will disperse it? Our own government can’t because it would be used as a tool of leverage against us and they would always threaten to take it away.

      Yes, exactly as they constantly threaten to take away our Social Security, roads and military protection! /s

        I don’t understand. They do take away our social security and roads. DoD is strong though but it doesn’t really function in service of us.

      Yeah this sentiment was expressed by some others in this thread as well. We see the same thing with social security now. Don’t have a great answer, but I am confident if we wanted to we could devise a system that’s resilient against such tactics.
