Fair enough. Fwiw I think it's better than most options. I just don't think it would be good to give the state something that could be withheld or manipulated. It might work well in Cali, but what about in Texas when every politician is trying to self sabotage the process?

I don't like people suggesting that UBI is a fix all solution. It's just another lever to pull, and can be just as ineffective as any of the others. If every household could thrive on a single income (min wage) thanks to robust public services, it would be a better result.

Importantly, the West Coast Teamsters Locals that broke with the National to endorse VP Kamala Harris include locals in Nevada. [Note to Politico: A National is not a "national chapter". Please hire a reporter dedicated to union issues.] www.politico.com/news/2024/09...

West Coast Teamsters break with national chapter in endorsing Harris

The announcement came minutes after the national Teamsters declined to make a presidential endorsement.

Tbh I don't think that the quiz maker is up to date on how much production markets are boosted by ecological reform. The necessity of the utility is still there, and now more labor, planning, and coordination goes into every single thing you want to do. It both slows destruction and boosts labor.

I'd say the 'system' that would actually be both successful and realistic hasn't been conjured up yet, or else it would be broadly popular. Can't get past the fact that violently installing a small elite group to power is the biggest dice roll possible.

Oops I'm an Anarchist.
