I think they were just speaking figuratively...

Just doing some quick math, if we assume the U.S. government gives $13,000 to all citizens in the United States (~328.2 million), that would cost the government 4 trillion dollars. It would take a LOT of money to make UBI work. It costs less if you only give money to the poor, which is called GMI, or guaranteed minimum income.

Disagree.

True, but what about a country that already has widespread resources? Distributing currency to citizens allows them to access said resources.
I'm sure we're not there yet, but most sci-fi writers either envision a dystopian future, or one in which the wealth of nations is shared in some way.

Acceptance is just madness

Either the US got some very different views on how to implement UBI or people don't understand finances. Well, the US can't do anything right - it is one of the aforementioned shabby countries that needs a lot of fixes before even being able to think about UBI. You don't print money, you cut government money sinks and circulate money through peoples expenses and taxes. Taxes are yet again something most US citizens seem to have issues with even if they're to their net benefit.

My income inequality dropped significantly for no apparent reason. I worked hard to reach 98 to 1... If progress wasn't so slow I would start from scratch.

If true, it's no worry. This is one of the most stable regions and nothing happens ever anyway.

I'm a bit confused. Are you talking about a real world nation where something bad's about to go down, or are people with nothing better to do about to mess with Lands End, or are you just giving us a statuse report on the Empire or Antarctican Immagrants?

I love how you can have the most tyrannical government the world has ever seen but random citizens still manage go enter your office and scream at you about any little issue they have. Where's the damn security?
