I'm a little tired of the basic/universal income trope myself. The problem with Socialism/Communism is you eventually run out of other peoples money.

When government gets in the way of capitalism you get what you've referred to. Every single one of these issues came about due to government policies or laws.

I am unsure what you are implying with your comment which leaves me thinking your claims are baseless.. would you mind defending the validity of your claims by elaborating and providing sources supporting your opinion?
