One of the many reasons I want UBI. Let people who just want to geek out over their favorite weird thing be able to do that and live, and let the rest of us enjoy basking in that weird geekery!

If you want more people (not just elite white men) to engage in exploration of all sorts, there is an answer.
Universal Basic Income.

Instagram used to have a "recent" function and so, between searching that and YouTube daily for what's new I saw the emergence of the "CBDC/Digital Currency/WEF" thing arriving right after the Convoy had their assets frozen.
When life hands you lemons, I guess.

Basic Income, CERB and golf.
I’ve had this one kicking around for a while and I’ve never quite known when to do it, but having seen, thanks to Scott Santens another non-article making a non-claim against another no…

It's the same old thing really zeroing in on the one single thing, money to poor people, that this is about.
The "Agenda 2030" theories is just the same right wing New World Order theory with basic income stapled to it.

claiming to hire and then not. We also had people using the time to retrain. As economist Ioana Marinescu explained it was unlikely that everything was going to snap back into place. That shock changed the world. CERB was just one part of massive stimulus here and with the US stimulus.

including with oil companies that collapsed in early 2020 when everything literally stopped. With labour we also had the complications of many people who were already set to retire retiring immediately as their was this killer invisible thing out there.

There we other things causing the problems in 2021 that had little to do with CERB.
Places around the world like Sweden that did no stimulus also had inflation while places like Japan that had large programs had less.
Remember all the ships lined up? We had massive supply shocks

Welfare was not only very much still around, but people on it or disability got aggressively clawed back like others did too.
Why? Because it was CONDITIONAL.
Like Dr. Evelyn Forget said "If we had rolled out a guaranteed income instead of CERB civil servants probably would have had more sleep."

1st CERB was not UBI and certainly not guaranteed income.
Guaranteed income, which is the more common proposal in Canada, would not have just been $2000/month to everyone. It would have varied by income *guaranteeing* people dont fall below a certain point instead of welfare.
