I dunno like the concept of UBI... I believe it is good for the economy at large (as opposed to the few richest).
But where will the money come from? All western government are starved for cash and could certainly not finance UBI on the back of the middle class, which is getting poorer and is the only one really taxed...
(poor have no money, rich are taxed less and less)
As for the demonetisation (as in a link inside your link) it's happening. But much less slowly that than he believes, I am pretty sure...

And or years I've be saying; "...every time you use self checkout you're taking a job from someone...". If a human doesn't take my money I don't shop at that place...period!

A mate of mine wouldn't use a parking garage unless it had human attendants.
He doesn't get a choice, any more.

One of the largest monthly expenditures is housing. For Universal Basic Income to work, individuals need to live in areas where housing is relatively affordable; to a large extent, that excludes most major cities. I grew up in Ontario, Canada in a city of between 50,000 and 60,000, so not necessarily a 'major' city, but significant. And, if I read the city's online newspaper, I regularly see articles about how housing in not affordable. So, if you have a 'guaranteed income', but you use 1/2 of it for housing, you don't have enough to pay your utilities, groceries, transportation, etc...
So... you have to move to a 'minor' community to find affordable housing. Oh, wait, now the nearest grocery store is now an hour away by car - no public transit available.
And who is paying for all of this? The government? No... taxes are - from people who are striving to improve their lives and businesses who getting tired of being overtaxed and shift to less expensive regions.
And universal health care? I needed an 'emergency' MRI - I had to wait 3 months because there was a lack of MRI facilities due to funding...
There is no free lunch.

One problem with ABI is that markets will quickly adjust to those levels. (Like how college tuition at non-elite schools usual "just happens to" match the maximum Pell Grant amount.)

Jeeze, that cloud storage thing where you stored the picture is even more suspicious.
I lost count at around the 130th redirect, and, I mean, 30-odd seconds to load a screenshot?
I wouldn't go near that place again, if I were you, and I certainly wouldn't store anything personal, private, or business-critical on it.

There's an on-going battle between AVG and the Hamsters to get that false-positive removed:
AVG Virus Warning for CodeProject article[^]

Use a different anti-virus product.
AVG are showing false positives - and only if you view via Chrome or Edge. IE, Safari, Firefox and Opera are fine. I'll let you puzzle over that one.
I've contacted them but nothing after the initial "sure we'll whitelist you". I'm fairly pissed off at this point. It's all about them being seen to be "protecting" their customers and less about ensuring they are accurate.

Would it help it CPians using AVG send out requests to whitelist AVG? They have mentioned a process here[^].

Yup. If all three of them do it, AVG's bound to listen.

Thank you for contacting AVG.
The detection of your URL by AVG is incorrect. The detection will be removed from an upcoming AVG update. Please make sure that your AVG is updated with the latest virus database:
1. Open AVG.
2. Click the button Update now, or Protection is up-to-date to check for updates.
3. Once a new virus update is downloaded, AVG will not detect the file any more.
Best regards,
cheers

I just updated - still blocked.
I'm guessing they haven't actually pushed the update yet
