Hmmmm.

UBI seems like it will cause bankruptcy for whoever does it.

Twitter is clearly feeling itself to be better than other people.

I wonder... Is this what breaks them? Unless, of course, it's used to make Twitter a government program that gets funded by taxes, but if he's funding it instead it'd be hilarious.

He is funding it! More accurately, he has funded the non profit foundation behind it.

I almost want this to go ahead so I can watch how it goes. It seems... Salty in potential.

One can only hope, then, that he puts too much into it initially to recover.

The sole point of UBI is to make you dependent on them. And even you have the means to be independent of them nevertheless, UBI will create a massive, unstoppable army dependent on them and loyal to them.

They've already started that with Social Security, but that's a good point.
