Ha, ein Foto von meinem Hackerkeller im Jahre 2005 gefunden. Good times.

@Wetrix What's the feeling about this in the US?

Europe (meaning "people I know in UK and Poland") are perfectly 50/50 divided between "how this imbecile could be potentially elected again" and "He Is ,The Last ,Thing Between US ,and Communism" 🤦‍♂️

@Wetrix

Yes, it was a funny feeling to hang there in 5 people in total, even though you kind of rationally know it's two ropes and each can hold up to 2500 kg. But then you get absorbed by the course of events and stop thinking about it 😃

@profoundlynerdy Thomas Paine's “Agrarian Justice” contains one of the many possible answers to your questions. He wasn't advocating for a full UBI, but his reasoning can be used to justify this kind of policy.

Also worth adding that in terms of general "why benefits" there was a significant discussion among early economists on that subject back in 19th century. One of the most systematic voices on that topic was... Adam Smith, who is today associated with laissez-faire market - incorrectly, and mostly by under-educated neoliberals. In his "Inquiry ..." he lays ideas that today would be probably classified as "socialism", especially in the US. gutenberg.org/files/3300/3300-
