If it's not universal and unconditional, it's not UBI. And it would be even more dystopian than it already is to leave the poor with no choice but to cash out their healthcare accounts every month to not starve and then leave them with nothing for healthcare when they need it.

No feudal lord cares about your anti‑woke rant or your race once you’re locked in their fiefdom. From the castle window, every peasant looks the same—another back bent to the field. Think about this next time you have an urge to listen to Musk, Putin, or Trump. #EpsteinClass #DarkTriad
