UBI-The Panacea to the Pandemic

So first off, this is a conspiracy THEORY. Just an idea I've had over the past two years of flattening the curve.

I can't help but think that with all the misinfo, disinfo, corruption, lies, powergrabbing and mass printing of money that we are obviously headed for something bad. What better way to get the populace to stay complacent than to keep the palms greased.

We're in the US seeing a mass expansion of the IRS. We have the stimulus precedent already in place. Printing and mailing cash to the masses.

When the jig is up on the pandemic and court cases inevitably consume the judicial, perhaps, just perhaps the tools will be firmly in place and when that happens, who is going to not cash those checks?

Just something to ponder and chew the fat over.

Thoughts?

I would say mate one of two things .

First either it's all in an effort to create a minor collapse of the American System so that the American people come begging for complete Government over-sight and bailouts , Create so much inflation and instability that the System has to be rebooted to there shiny new Marxist system .

or

Like DB said in his recent post , They really are idiots who have no idea what they are doing .

I don't see why it can't be both.

There certainly isn't a shortage of useful idiots pushing for a universally broke and broken ideology.

Funny how we can complain about Politicians™ and Businessmen™ on the take : could we also not consider whether the citizens are also being bribed now ?

' Free™ ' money, to stay home, do nothing, and be always Compliant™ ?

Will our grandchildren will pay the piper ?

I don't see how the economic stimulus, unemployment expansion and bonuses could be construed any other way.

I'm just hoping there is still a whisper of the the great experiment that is the US left for our grandchildren.

A collapse of the American system is it? You do realise this is happening outside of merica too?

UBI enthusiasts are so short-sighted, the short-term limited benefits do not outweigh the long-term effects.

The UBI is to transition onto a government backed crypto currency like FedCoin for example which will in turn be tied to your digital ID, which will in turn be tied to your social credit rating.

So the UBI which most people will cry out for in the next big crash/great reset will be tied to and dependent everything you do. Things will also be rationed in the name of saving the environment regardless of your behaviour.

The worlds economy is already bust, all this government borrowing or debt creation is just kicking the can down the road. So do see where this is going now?

Nice perspective.

Would put governments in a unique position to seize the means of production all at the same time.
