I don't think we are operating on a platform where a BI could be actually implemented. Too many intrenched interests (among which are pretty much every single megacorporation that uses wage slavery to keep employees poor) that have too much lobbing money in a political process that is so exceedingly corrupt. And beyond that, you have mainstream media hound dogs at the beck and call of politicians to spread lies and propaganda about any proposal to ruin its public opinion.

I'm just saying if we did it (we won't) it would have to be a hard slap in the face to wasteful spenders of it. The thing is, people can survive and rebound from 2 weeks homeless because they wasted their BI check. But when you don't have a check in 2 weeks to give it another go, you just end up down a spiral into destitution and the bottom dregs of society.
