As I've said, this is proof that we could never actually have "universal basic income" in the US. It wouldn't be permitted to be truly "universal". We are watching *progressives* try to exclude people from their *own much vaunted social safety net* if they won't vaccinate. It's remarkable to watch and has a few honest old-school progressives wondering what the heck happened to everybody.

I don't think anything happened. We are just seeing the reality that was there all along. Prior to the smartphone and the web we didn't know. Now we know.
I used to be a soldier. Marched hundreds of miles with hundreds of other soldiers in ranks and files. Embedded amongst them like an atom in a crystal lattice.
I had no idea what was in the hearts and minds of all those soldiers all around me.
Today, via the web and smartphones every single one of them has global broadcasting voice and a globally listening ear and the ability to form, lose and reform alliances, groups almost instantly.
And that's what's happening.
The 'soldiers' haven't changed. They just manifest differently because now they can.
We have to wake up that this is our world.
There's always been very unpleasant stuff in it that we knew about and just had to accept.
The numbers of criminals.
The numbers of corrupt politicians.
The inequality of wealth where 'we' do the work, 'they' take the benefit.
And so on. Lots of things. We are used to them.
Now here's another truth uncovered: the mass is unreasoning.
Not for me but for those who put their faith (& fate) in our broken sick-care system, I have campaigned for M4A. Holy crap - I"m rethinking giving more power and more control to those that abuse it.
Yes. As I've said for a long time if they give something that simply means those who accept are obligated to follow the rules set down by the givers in order to maintain it. It can always be taken away on pretty arbitrary grounds. I want nothing, I'd rather do for myself thanks

These crazy far left fanatics are lunatics dressed in regular people's clothing. They are nothing but hypocrites and liars.

ItтАЩs time to change adjectives. тАЬProgressiveтАЭ doesnтАЩt fit, but тАЬregressiveтАЭ does.

People might want to brush up on 1847 Ireland to understand the dangers of dependency.
