    It's a complete change from the current situation. We don't know its effects without testing it and its not something which can be tested on a small scale.

    Effects such as a perfect safety net inspiring entrepreneurship, re-skilling and an artistic renaissance will never come about in small scale, time-limited trials. It's an all or nothing situation. Until a country fully embarks on the path of UBI we won't know the consequences, so it's hard to have an informed debate about it and very difficult to suggest implementing.

    That link didn't work for me. Wayback machine being brilliant as normal though. Archived I came over half an hour ago and am really liking what I'm seeing so far.

    Agreed, though I'm definitely more of a lurker than an actual learner so far.

    Another Englishman here. It does mainly seem so so far. There seem's to be quite a range, though.

    Agreed. It's pretty, intuitive and just works. Unless I'm doing something along the lines of a server I jump straight to Ubuntu.
