Discussing Basic Income from Forbes Article
-
Those early experiments with the colonies were based on religious intolerance, forced labour, and resource shortage. Not things that lead to success in any situation. That they were communist leaning on top of that is probably not a huge factor. Didn't help, but probably didn't hurt much. They were more like penal colonies. Dregs of society stuck together, generally without much of a clue.
The big difference in GBI attempts is that they are religiously tolerant, at will labour, and resource surplus. The last piece being key, there are excess resources making the need for labour no longer the thing that it once was. We used to need everyone to work to eat. Now there are too many cooks in the kitchen and we need people to get out.

You seem to have a basic misunderstanding of what GBI is.As well as some unfounded bias that Red states contribute more than Blue states. In fact the exact opposite is true. I think if you do some actual research youll find most of your opinions on governance are wrong.
Every single "Red state' is dependent on "Blue states" for money. Yes this means places like WV, KY, FLA, all of them depend on places CA WA NY, DE. You can actually look this up.
