Yep, Lemmy on web browser no longer allows me to post images in comments. Dunno what to do about it so I guess I’ll just be sad.
UBI is not going to be without its problems, but it might be a stopgap to delay the onset of too many homeless starving people (which will result in police action, outlaw groups and eventually a proper Rebel Alliance, also a Résistance since chronic police brutality historically results in a résistance.
In the Great Depression, FDR enacted the New Deal because the choice was that or tremble before the Communist Revolution < swelling Bolshevik chorus > since an awful lot of Americans were living in paint-can shelters and dying of malnutrition on flour paste while Hoover was laughing and smoking cigars and playing poker with all the industrialists. Good times!
Here in the US, we’ve been inoculated against alternatives to socialism, but the ownership class whinging about quiet quitting and in the meantime not paying us enough to survive is running thin, so we’re probably going to see something between a civil war and a genocide of non-whites, non-Christians, uppity women, people who are the wrong kind of Christianity, and eventually people who fail to snap their salute quite snappy enough.
Because we entirely failed to fix these problems during the last century, and will probably fail to fix them during the next too.
But man, I totally hope I’m wrong. Please make me eat crow.
We’re already basically in the middle of a quiet genocide against people that can’t work due to disability or can’t get a job that pays a living wage due to a lack of opportunities.

Huh. Did you try the old
thing to link to another site? Actually, let me try real quick:I can see this on my end. There does, however, seem to be a problem with uploading images to Lemmy. Not sure what to do about that, sorry.
You’re using a different instance than the person with upload problems. That instance could have file upload issues that yours doesn’t.
I can see it too. So either I need to find a place to put images or find a place they already exist. Hmmm…,
I actually prefer the time when if someone wanted to post an image or gif it was a link you chose to click on or not.
