UBI won't happen after the shitshow that was 2020. If there wasn't widespread looting and civil unrest, maybe.

That was as close of a test of the idea as the US will ever get. Another country will have to try and have it be VERY successful for a second shot at it here.

Suggesting there was widespread looting comes across as pretty out of touch at best and has racist dog whistling connotations at worst. Did looting happen? Sure. Did more looting happen that any large hurricane event? Not really. Were businesses as a collective materially impacted? Also no.

I don't know why you feel the need to bring something that sounds like anti-BLM messaging into this discussion.
