There won’t be UBI because the surplus population will be culled, per Agenda30. There will be slaves who will be allowed to live in corporate/government owned (think fascism) shelters, be issued one set of clothing, and given bugs to eat, but I wouldn’t call those things income by any means.

I'm worried about that too, but I would hope that the Powers that be look at the history books and realize that actively killing billions is bad PR.

If they want to cull the population, I'd simply made conceiving much more difficult. Think: A covid-like virus that doesn't kill but makes conception much less likely (like 99.99% less likely).

The Powers at be have decided that being historical monsters, where they eliminated 8 billion people, really isn’t a bad place for them. They work quickly and then society will forget as it rebuilds.

They look in the history books and see that no one in China speaks of the Tiananmen Square massacre.

In a generation, it will have never happened, washed down the memory hole like the pulped remains of the protestors, fire hosed down the storm drains...
