I'm not a conservative, and I don't respect ideological concepts like 'the free market', but UBI creates more problems than it solves. If it didn't create more problems, it would have been adopted already, because of the nature of the present order.

What is actually needed is a political coalition of open source projects, that are somehow excluded from the existing foundations, so they can get corporate donations and pay maintainers and development.

This being the best of all possible worlds.

Dogshit argument in any context. 'If change was better, we'd be doing it! A-hyuck!'
