I always keep coming back to the Nixon years when basic income was first approved in the senate by the republicans and stopped in the house by democrats.

What a different world we'd be living in, if the (back then, at least supposedly) greatest democracy would have shown the way to a universal safety net.

How fucking sad that we ended in a world where the finders of flaws or zerodays are being suppressed and prosecuted, instead of allowing them to make the world a better place.

A handful of narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths now hold almost all power with these structures.

At least now the pretense of democracy is dropped.
