    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.

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

          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.

                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).
