It’s kinda hilarious how we like to talk about UBI while in the other direction water is getting steadily privatized. There’s places you can be arrested for collecting rainwater iirc. Soon wild animals will need electronic tags to drink from pay-by-bitcoin fountains with UBI.

Are you talking about the us? There’s definitely issues with PE taking over municipal systems in certain areas and public mismanagement of poor / rural resulting in lack of access to clean water though the rain bit is a tangent as far as I know

You’re thinking of Colorado, where I live. Every drop of rain that falls is already owned by someone with senior water rights downstream. Been that way since 19th cent. Recent law passed allows homeowners to use rain barrels. Until then rain barrels were illegal. Nothing new.

Still illegal in certain cities in Utah which is sad considering how little water we get here.

Most rainwater collection penalties are for large scale interference with publicly regulated streams. Ask me about Oregon water law!

I thought the whole point of UBI was that it allows for the privatization of everything. That instead of distributing food, water, medicine, jobs and so on, you just distribute money and let people buy what they need.

UBI people forget Stone Age tribes had a <20hr work week, 10k yrs ago. Our drama prone minds invent work/problems to fill any space.
