Germany has unrestricted social welfare since 1960 i think.
It is not completely different - if you dont find work or cant work you get social welfare.

And germany still exist today like other countries with similar systems.

It's not only Germany. I think all western European countries have some kind of a free-for-all basic income. That's how terrorists manage to survive. All the Arabs in Belgium and France plotting to bomb the country, they're all living on welfare. I believe they are more than 20 millions people on the dole in Europe right now. Possibly more.

Looks like this kind of sport is really dangerous for mental health.

That explains why his face as well as his brain are caved in.

I like the idea of guaranteed income but I do agree that government tends to set up rules and hoops to jump through in these situations.
Seems to be the nature of the beast,so what do we do as more people get replaced by robots?

Pensions are becoming a thing of the past and the global job market is lowering wages in areas that where more developed. Can not argue it raises wages in worse off areas of the world but at what cost! If we all balance out the rich will be richer off that fact alone.

Nope, the plan is we die.

Yep, indeed TECSHARE

Both marxists and capitalists support the idea of a basic income. Marxists for ideological reasons and capitalists for economic reasons. A basic income ensures the consumption and supports the bussinesses.

In an alternate universe in which everyone starves.

No! We have to continue with the current system: Basic income from taxpayers to banks and regular people starving.

The way I see why we are in what we are in.

Is based on people hacking the rules of what they know or been passed by with creating special relations.

We cant really get back to this though with a huge deficit so lets just stop dreaming and focus on something else that would help us now instead.

Why, that is quite interesting.  Taxpayers are now officially, in your view, different from "regular people."

Gonna have to ponder that one.
