Welfare state and UBI are completely different things.

Basic Income is Utopianism. Every generation thinks they can solve the ills of society with this “one simple trick.” Like the failed Utopias of the 20th century, it would fail when confronted with the reality of human nature.

No European country has implemented any form of UBI, nor do they intend to.

Why are websites having to individually implement dark mode? It should be done heuristicly by the browser.
It would take me weeks to redo my website to support dark mode. Better to wait and let browser technology catch up.

In Sweden, the land of a billion trees, Ikea wooden spoons are made in China and transported to Sweden. ANY company that does this and claims to be green is blowing smoke up your ass.

100% with you, and you can see that second hand prices for it are rising. The only modern fitness tracker with beautiful style and no watchface. There are chinese copies if you are willing to put toxic tracking devices next to your body.

No way I’m putting a Chinese product on my wrist. Especially one that tracks. It’s 2019, those days are over.

“Without massive progress in the next decade, civilization will probably collapse by 2035.”
This is deathcult type rhetoric which has no scientific basis whatsoever.

... it’s written by a guy who uses flight simulators, this is crank stuff.

There is a debate to be had, but this is a naked propeganda piece. The crux of the article is based on:
“Among Boeing’s critics is Gregory Travis, a veteran software engineer and experienced, instrument-rated pilot who has flown aircraft simulators as large as the Boeing 757.”
... someone who uses flight simulators. This is not credible journalism.

“No one will bat an eyelid if you take a day off work.”
You forgot to mention that you WON’T get paid if you take a single day off work, something that makes Sweden unique in the modern world?
Sweden is a great place to work in many ways, but there are severe problems for people moving here to work if they are accustomed to other EU countries.
