Obvious you are not him but you’ve replied to the discussion and I’ve addressed a part of your post, which could be further discussed by anyone who visits the thread. That is how discussions work as far as I know. 😛 ---

UBI was supported by Hayek and Friedman. They were far from socialism as I remember. Some people say it is a progressive idea… But I wish this discussion here (as the topic seems to not be already tackled before) will rather discuss the merits - what is possible, what is not and what benefits it provides to the game, and players instead of calling names and giving labels. 😛 ---
