    UBI is not the solution, ending the capitalist system is.

    All UBI does is lessen the suffering slightly, why not just directly meet people’s needs without the middleman.

      I’d argue humanity can’t end Capitalism without UBI first though. UBI is a stepping stone necessary to continue down that road. Likewise, we can’t just jump into something like Anarchism without going through Socialism first. Humanity’s progression has not only slowed, it’s being dragged backwards. Unfortunately even if we could make 1 nice big step forward, there’s a vocal minority that requires we take 10 or 20 baby steps instead.
