The problem I have with UBI is say I get a hundred bucks a week from it, there's not a single thing stopping my landlord, or my utility companies, or local supermarkets, or anyone in this godforsaken system from just raising their prices to siphon it all away.
We don't need universal income, we need universal services. Garaunteed housing, food, public transport, healthcare, everything needed to sustain atleast a basic standard of living so we're not constantly in fear of whether the last month of 70 hour work weeks is going to be enough to keep of the streets and keep food on the table.

They are in fact referencing project 596, which was a nuclear test conducted in a very remote desert region called "Lop Nur". This region was chosen because it is just over 300km away from the nearest town.
Meanwhile, the American Nevada test site was located only 65km away from the nearest town, and the USA remains the only country to have dropped a nuclear bomb directly on a civilian population, and they did it twice. (not even including the times they dropped nukes on small island populations, promising they'd be able to return.)
