However this only works for popular product categories, but less so for specialized equipment.

My impression is also that affiliate links hurt consumers in the long run as they reduce the selection of products in reviews or blogs to those the authors can earn money with. This however leaves out potential alternatives. More often than not the winner of product categories (at least those I was researching) of independent tests were not available from sites running affiliate programs. For example a consumer-grade lawn mower from an otherwise professional gardening company or a tent from a Scandinavian brand.

From what I can gather, it supports compile time code execution and reflection, so no preprocessor necessary. Furthermore it has a lot of safety features and optional checks, a nullable type instead of null value and manual memory management but also provides a `defer` statement.

But the gist was that UBI is only possible with a substantial tax reform. In the article an example of 1000€ per month is presented and a universal "commerce" tax of 50% used (no other taxes just taxing money going out of businesses, e.g. earnings, salaries).

Several examples are presented: Low income of 24000€, 12000€ - 12000€ = 0€ in taxes. Higher income of 100000€, 50000€ - 12000€ = 38000€ in taxes.

It concludes that basic income in Germany is therefore great for everyone with salaries below 240000€ compared to the current taxation system.

Calculations for the amount of money necessary were also included, but I am unable to recall them from memory. Looking up the article online revealed a report by the interviewee from the magazine article [2], which states that a UBI of 800€ per month (including major reforms) would cost around 454.10 billion €, which would be about 2/3 of Germany's current tax income.
