    It is indeed a bit of a reformist partial answer to that argument, hoverer it probably just makes you starve a bit later, if you pass those specific criteria for the state help.

      Yes but what if you didn’t. What if you were just fine, more or less, because the state had a decent UBI?

      I feel like Chomsky is looking holistically, coming at a big problem, then tying it back to a concrete thing, but these things are not necessarily this way.

      Often, people will look at first past the post voting in the US, and talk about how democracy is flawed, but like, most places don’t have first past the post voting? So what about them? You can’t look at “holistic” but then ignore most other nations with moderating systems in place.
