No. Shut it down. People are by an large ignorant. They will ruin society voting for things unearned and over power rational minds. Shut it down and create a voting system where the needy have almost no input. The needy will destroy any civilization if given the means. Kill it. I know I will get many down votes but that is fine. Either kill it or it will destroy everything. Want everything destroyed then go right ahead.

Not a fun situation to be in.
