Not the Onion

Oh I don't disagree with you. As I said, I think it's the only viable solution because capitalism at large won't be solved. You need to fix education to fix the human greed problem, and even then that's going to be a very long time in the making. Like generations upon generations.

And yeah, UBI isn't a solution for wealth gaps. But it will help the suffering of the poorest, which is a good start. And it might make climbing the social/economic ladder a little easier if you started at the bottom.

There is no silver bullet solution and waiting for one doesn't do anything to help. So we gotta start somewhere. Let's start at the bottom and work our way towards better overall solutions.
