The earth of the expanse is 1000 times better than any time in history.

The life of people on earth doesn't seem better than people now. For connected people it seems great, but for the average joe it seemed awful.

Yes it does. You don't have an accurate understanding of the lives of people on earth now, which is largely constant pain and suffering.

Did you read the expanse? The earth of the expanse is full of crime and destitution. People apply in the tens of thousands for every lottery slot of school or jobs. People just wallow in nothingness. The people fleet earth for mars and the belt just to have a basic sense of purpose.

If we are to just have UBI. Have basic sustenance for no effort, while we have unlimited entertainment and porn at our finger tips. It would be a disaster. I would literally we rather have make work programs.

Yes. I read the expanse.

The problem is you don't understand how terrible life on earth is currently for the majority of people, you are coddled.
