I don't speculate on whether any policy will make people better people. It's possible, but I don't pin my hopes on it. I look more at the direct effects, which are enough to be a reason to introduce UBI

I hate how "breakfast" came to mean morning meal with traditional dishes of the morning because some stupid fucking people only break their fasts in the morning. It's called "break fast" only when you're breaking your fast, got damn it.
