In every advanced economy, the indigenous people, and the immigrants, are never the highest ranked for any scale to be proud of. This is proof of inequality due to past situations.
Reparation is a difficult thing – on both sides. Deciding who pays is arduous, and the default is the government, which basically means everyone provides for those lesser off. Deciding who receives it, generations of sometimes undocumented lives later, is also difficult.
It doesn’t need to be so complicated. Inequality operates in extreme wealth and in abject poverty. Universal Basic Income works on a pure and base level. Everyone gets more, the same more, which means that in proportion the poor rise up more. Inequality reverses.
In any country where reparation is too difficult or simply will never happen, UBI is a way to provide reparation, without even mentioning it by name.
The current COVID-19 pandemic is the perfect excuse for right-leaning governments to do the right thing.
