Dina : I don't like Interpol hanging around our business. We are allies, but we are not friends.
Nash : How's that?
Dina : We pay the authorities the taxes they need. They pay the Connected the universal income. And the Connected pay us to use our verses. It's all a matter of balance.
Nash : But isn't it expensive for the governments to pay everyone's universal incomes?
Dina : No. The amounts are relatively low. They pay them rent, a little food, and for the connection. If you remember in the old days, they used to have to pay for health care, retirement fund and unemployment insurance. Now, they have to pay much less and for not as long. The Connected barely reach a life expectancy of past 40. They're obese, underfed, no health care, poor hygiene. What do you expect? Don't fool yourself. If the politicians want to keep things the way they are, it's because they benefit from it.
