When collective bargaining was destroyed by the socalled 'right to work' zones, as well as other pressures from the wealthy, they should have realized that sooner or later a UBI would be needed to replace it.
The UBI doesn't need to be called as such, it can be called unemployment insurance, welfare, or social assistance. And now the jobs have been automated into extinction and the wealthy will have to be taxed so those bills can be paid to the unemployed.
The best hope for the very wealthy keeping all their money is found in the US where the people have been brainwashed into thinking it's all their money and the poor are trying to steal their money. It's not working anymore and hence we see their attempts at promoting a fascist regime.
Biden doesn't really intend on making it any better! What can be said about a country that can't even provide quality healthcare for all it's people?
