Something that is naturally selected is not necessarily good. Most of nature is horrible in fact. And everything we do is a fight against nature to make it better.

But instead of things like mandatory co-ops, rent caps, minimum wages, etc., could we get the same benefits from UBI instead? It's a much simpler welfare system.

It would be cool if I could live partially off of welfare and have my job be an unprofitable charity making free software, where even if I had stock it would be worthless. Such a public good cannot exist under capitalism alone, not even for-the-workers-colored capitalism.
