Btw I'm in discord get the fuck in there we have shit to discuss

I'm tired and going bed, will be on discord at various points tomorrow.

Do you know why Norway and Sweden don't drift off into the Norwegian Sea?

Spoiler: Show

Because Finland sucks.

I just find it interesting because most people think this is a lefty pipe dream when most of the people backing it up are fairly right wing economically.

I think a good portion of that backing by conservatives/libertarians is because they think it would be better as a replacement for the current welfare system. On that, I quite like Caplan's comment I posted a day or so ago. It came from this article:

In it, he basically iterates what I iterated, about how the popularity of UBI among libertarians derives from the compromise element of it. Lefties adore them some welfare, so it ain't going away and most libertarians/conservatives know it, so compromise.

Agreed. I prefer it over the current system.
