Will the US follow suit? How far will we go?

Universal basic income = more poverty and a bigger gap between rich and poor

Our system is "money printer go brrrr" too, just to the elites.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

And inflation.

Government does not give up control or power. You’d be crazy to think they don’t leave this crisis with additional power. And universal basic income is power over people because we become more dependent. We had very low unemployment before this, we don’t need UBI.

Socialists almost unanimously oppose UBI because it maintains the capitalist system.

Our debt financed system is what holds power over people; nearly half of Americans are on the margins which make them compliant little sheep for the banks slaughter. Low unemployment in a country full of baristas is not the economy you boomers grew up in.

I’m 30 years old buddy. Sorry life is not working out for you, so you want the government to take care of you. And no one is forcing you to get a loan from the banks. Just don’t do it and you won’t be a “compliant little sheep”.
