Ah yes, total bureaucratic hell having to spend a total of 30 seconds to sign into the CERB site and confirm your eligibility, then receive payment directly into your bank account in 2 days.


Either they will thoroughly review everyone's eligibility post factum, which will be pretty close to bureaucracy hell, or they will let tons of amateur fraudsters get away with free money.

They promise the former but my money is on the worst-of-both-world combination. That's not how UBI is supposed to work at all.

Regardless of how it turns out, the middle class will end up paying for it as the effective tax burden on the 0.1% remains untouchable.

I hope everyone's enjoying their vacations, at least it's a nice summer.
