The problem I have with UBI is say I get a hundred bucks a week from it, there’s not a single thing stopping my landlord, or my utility companies, or local supermarkets, or anyone in this godforsaken system from just raising their prices to siphon it all away.

We don’t need universal income, we need universal services. Garaunteed housing, food, public transport, healthcare, everything needed to sustain atleast a basic standard of living so we’re not constantly in fear of whether the last month of 70 hour work weeks is going to be enough to keep of the streets and keep food on the table.

Ain’t that some Canadian bacon

Even if they didn’t have a no-first-use policy, why would China nuke their own territory?

I distrohopped around for a while, but always found myself landing back on Ubuntu, so it’s what I’ve stuck with to this day, although if anyone else asks me what distro they should get, I will usually recommend mint.

Sir Kier is expected to make a pledge
