"rObOtS aRe TaKeInG oVeR" I fucking doubt that

First off, nice animation as usual. Thumbs up to you there.

Did you do any real research (or is this not your talk? A bit confused here) on this topic? Did you just cherry pick from sources (linked in the description) that were obviously in favor of this absolute propaganda/talking points? This is the same as the "90% some of percent of all scientist agree that climate change... bla bla bla" what about the scientists that weren't polled? what about the evidence that is not in favor of your argument? I get it, you're (and so are a lot of the pro-UBI people) compassionate and obviously poverty is bad. Everyone can literally agree here. How do we solve the potential automation problem? Where should these affected people move to (career wise). These are fair questions. Raising taxes and printing more "funny money" is rarely ever the answer (besides "well... country X does it so... we good bois". Something to think about. Research all areas of your topic. Don't just produce propaganda videos that only validate your position (confirmation bias). This will help you fortify your argument and not seem like you're coming off as some government PSA drone. Debate is good and the pursuit of truth/reason will get us to where we need to be one day (hopefully). Again, nice animation. Obviously this topic/position is left leaning which I'm sure a lot of NewGrounds is by demographic (age) and interest (animation/games). Keep up the great work/talent!

Animation: Awesome.

Message: I'm not sure. I am not sure how I feel about a basic income. I feel that it would be better to have the government pay for basic needs directly like Healthcare, Education, Food, Water, etc. Maybe this is what you mean by a basic income, I wasn't entirely sure. Either way, I agree with you on wanting to help people and have the same goals in mind, I am just not sure if basic income is as efficient as government paying directly for these essential services.

Notbad at all

Well here was something cool I always wanted to make something like this it's entertaining and the visuals are nice just would be nice to have more flashy effects with this style of animation but besides all that it's actually pretty good stuff

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
As mentioned some flashy effects would be awesome
