But they’ll have to draw them first

For any dairy intolerant or vegan people here you can get a similar effect by clarifying a vegetable spread like Flora and adding salt until it tastes ‘buttery’ enough for you

UK checking in here - straight from the tap is perfectly safe. I still put it through a filter though because I like the taste and it makes me feel fancy.

I'm super behind the idea of UBI, but I don't think two test sets of only 15 people is really gonna tell us much other than '30 people have been given a pay rise'.

We really need to answer questions like:

  • How will the market react? Do we need to put in some sort of legislation to stop price hikes if everyone has more disposable income?
  • Do we need to set certain 'essential' goods and services to a certain price to match the UBI payment?
  • How does this effect the UK's standing in the global economy?

To answer this we need a way bigger test population, like a whole town or a county.

Thank you so much for pointing this out! I suppose it should be obvious really but my fediverse training continues

This is the correct answer

Wow this book appears to divide opinion! The first review in that link absolutely slams it at length, but then others are claiming it to be the best thing ever written.

What’s your take? Is it really a love it or hate it kind of deal?

My word, ‘ultimate chunk’ appears to have been an understatement! Gonna have a go at at Gardens of the Moon - thanks :)

Butter straight to marmite is a societal norm. Contaminating the butter with marmite is a capital offence.

This sort of stuff was always gonna happen early on. As things calm and the wider community settles into some norms we’ll see less of it.
