No less than eighty UBI trials are underway globally, and many more have already started and ended. UBI is an original construct of Technocracy from the 1930s, where everyone in society would receive the same allocation of energy script that would expire at the end of the allocation period. Today, UBI solves the problem of "unemployables" picking up too many pitchforks and torches to attack the Technocrat earth destroyers.
