About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off

    • A Universal Basic Income Is Being Considered by Canada's Government

  • Well if UBI is indeed a safety net, than it's really just extended wellfare at that point. Seeing how wellfare is already a quite controversial topic. I do not see this going through political-wise. Unless there is an absolute massive wave of unemployment by the effects of automisation. Which could unify both ends of the political spectrum on this topic.

    I am on your side. But I just don't see this realistically happening (right now).
