You should fear for this country, 2DV. When morons like this who claim to be an "economic journalist" don't realize that a large number of people will spend UBI on cigarettes and Thunderbird wine, we're truly in danger of losing our country, and ultimately our peace, prosperity and freedom, to socialism.
The Puritans/Pilgrims tried socialism at first but no one would work the plots of “communal” land so they gave out the plots to the families and said you’re on your own food-wise.
