I can see a very shitty UBI cone into place with austerity measures and welfare cuts. I say this because the ruling class is in favor and plenty of libs and fake lefties fall for it as “FrEe MoNeY tO SpEnD oN WHaT u NeeD” which is basically just trickle-up economics lmao. Billionaires speak highly of it because they know that free money from the government always means heavy subsidies. Since when did the US gov start handing out money and the Corporations and big business DIDN’T stick their palms out and take a bit extra from the candy jar? Also, I can definitely see the news media becoming even more exploitative and false. I think that maybe Unionization will go up a bit in the next coming years due to the way that things have been going, but as always I predict a super fuck up in global capital that may call forth a Fascist to the US presidency in the late 2030s. Just a guess

If by very shitty UBI you mean UBI in name only. Actually they aren’t even keeping the name. Mayors For A Guaranteed Income are putting out pilot programs which are just welfare for the same voting blocs that have been targeted by all previous welfare. Their official policy is that AGI (notably not UBI), is something that must be in addition to existing welfare programs.
This is in contrast to UBI which has been written about by aristocrats since before the industrial revolution. Basic Income quite literally means enough to pay for food and housing. UBI, the real thing, will never happen without revolution.

Idk, AGI sounds kinda sus, it’s in conjunction with government welfare programs today, not so sure about how that fares when capital declines
