Welfare state and UBI are completely different things.

Basic Income is Utopianism. Every generation thinks they can solve the ills of society with this “one simple trick.” Like the failed Utopias of the 20th century, it would fail when confronted with the reality of human nature.

No European country has implemented any form of UBI, nor do they intend to.

Why are websites having to individually implement dark mode? It should be done heuristicly by the browser. It would take me weeks to redo my website to support dark mode. Better to wait and let browser technology catch up.

In Sweden, the land of a billion trees, Ikea wooden spoons are made in China and transported to Sweden. ANY company that does this and claims to be green is blowing smoke up your ass.

100% with you, and you can see that second hand prices for it are rising. The only modern fitness tracker with beautiful style and no watchface. There are chinese copies if you are willing to put toxic tracking devices next to your body.

No way I’m putting a Chinese product on my wrist. Especially one that tracks. It’s 2019, those days are over.

“Without massive progress in the next decade, civilization will probably collapse by 2035.” This is deathcult type rhetoric which has no scientific basis whatsoever.

There is a debate to be had, but this is a naked propeganda piece. The crux of the article is based on: “Among Boeing’s critics is Gregory Travis, a veteran software engineer and experienced, instrument-rated pilot who has flown aircraft si

“No one will bat an eyelid if you take a day off work.” You forgot to mention that you WON’T get paid if you take a single day off work, something that makes Sweden unique in the modern world? Sweden is a great place to work in many ways, b

You heard wrong. Sweden has one if the longest working weeks in the EU. Normal work day starts at 8am. Most stuff that you read about Sweden (ie stuff that gets shared on socisl media) is false.

Commenta saying “it wasn’t real basic income” remind me people who say “it wasn’t real communism” whenever their utopia fails in mass starvation and murdet.

“No one cares if you have a job, if you are homeless or have to suffer poverty.” What on earth is this comment. Where do you live in “the west”? Western societies are structured around redistribution which ensures that most people are loo

In the vast majority of capitalist societies, you don’t need a “well paying job” to eat. There are all manners of safety nets. Even in the USA no-one has starved to death in modern times.

Basic Income is a completed unworkable pipedream, a revival of the “utopianism” of 100 years ago, when society thought that everything could be fixed if we just introduce “x solution”. But we live in complex changing times, so they need for

The terrifying thing is that people with your mindset are actually part of the bureaucracy of the EU. No credible company will keep a .EU domain if they go ahead with this unhinged plan to delete 250000 domains.

The EU acting in a beligerent way is an admittance of weakness. If they were powerful then they we would let the UK leave with no problems.

Threatening to delete domains for political reasons is “restrained”? I hate brexit probably as much as everyone here, but the institution of the EU has not come out of this any better than the Tory government.

This would be an unhinged move; essentially deleting domains for political reasons. Any business doing due-diligence would be forced to move from their .eu domain.
