    If Universal Basic Income becomes commonplace the United States will probably be the last country on earth to adapt.

        Even as a joke, countries ruined by colonial interference shouldn’t be counted.

          I mean if we’re lightly joking about countries, there isn’t a single one where you can’t dig into it’s history and find some day-ruining atrocity.

            “Day-ruining,” seriously? Try comparing apples to apples.

                I only asked you to think twice about punching down, dude. Go ahead and block me if you think that’s “trolling.”

                If I see someone saying harmful things (whether they realize it or not) about misunderstood people that don’t deserve to be made fun of, I’m going to comment (unless it’s obvious bait).

          The Clovis people would love to enter the chat, but they were totally massacred in a genocide.

            Fair point, my choice of wording wasn’t precise. But comparing indigenous peoples would be even more complicated.

      I was going to say Cuba, but then I remembered the healthcare is better than America already.
