This is kind of what nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a was saying on nostr:npub1ahxjq4v0zlvexf7cg8j9stumqp3nrtzqzzqxa7szpmcdgqrcumdq0h5ech ‘s podcast about japan, though not specifically UBI

Supposedly they centrally manipulate their cuckbucks in a way that doesn’t almost all go to the rich and powerful

Can you imagine!!

They won’t, because the whole point of manipulation in the first place is to benefit the elite few at the expense of the productive many. But it’s great to dream 🤣

Money printing for the rich, the government, and the military is a feature, not a bug.

I'll give the pod a listen, I trust Lyn to be better informed than me, but I belive their government subsidises practically everything so net net inflation is less bad.

I also believe Japanese workers are not living a great life. Long hours at work, low wages, no time or money to start a family. People who can save in dollars.

For an exporting economy they perform horribly, I would not look at Japan for inspiration. Especially if the intent is to support lower social classes.

But maybe I have things to learn.
