I'm sure their version of UBI will include a clause for recipients to be on birth control. Eventually unrest will be at manageable population levels without the need for it.

And many people will accept it because "if you can't afford to have children, you shouldn't".

Pretty sure that's codeword for "Chist"ian Harem, they won't care about the poors if they get theirs.
