The irony is that those self-proclaimed moral organizations have been complicit in the war crimes, so they are deciding to slay silent.

That's called fascism.
Of course. But you never raised that as an issue in your initial comment.
I really hope it will not be based in the US where law is dead and where IRS at the command of executive can remove non-profit status. That would defeat all the stated goals in the press release.
Indeed. It's at the point the exact number is irrelevant.

The issue is an economic centrism which dominates the EU governance so while there are plenty EU supported and developed alternatives they are not used. But as much as hate LLMs it seems that was the push required for EU to reconsider their approach. Combine that with the friends turning into foes and the future tech sector in the EU looks bright.

Except there are already countries that have UBI. Namely Iran and Macau. There are also multiple different state/cities across the world that also have it.
