    Then… it sounds like you are against UBI.

    Saying we should do X and Y before we do Z, is functionally the same as opposing Z itself. Shit, that is how most polices are rejected.

    “We can’t send money overseas, we need to take care of our own first, or things will never get better”

    “We can’t increase funding for our own services, we need to find out how to optimize their spending first, or things will never get better”

    “We can’t impose extra regulations on services, we need to do that on the vendor/supplier level, or things will never get better”

    “We can’t impose extra regulations on vendors/suppliers, because most of them are overseas, we need to spend resources overseas to stop it at the source, or things will never get better”

    On, and on, and on we go. Meanwhile, people starve. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
