This is the liberal kingdom of the future, where everyone is asexual, makes the same income, organized sports no longer exist, no one is allowed to have anything nicer than its (no pronouns used) neighbor, and @extragreen still isn't liked by anyone.
I think we should forfeit all wages and live off whatever trickle down the corporations deem appropriate.
Ok honest discussion of the topic. I would be ok with this if the vast majority of other welfare went away. Obviously there are some situations that require more help but you shouldnt be getting universal income food stamps subsidiezed housing obama phones on top of it.
I agree with you. I'll go even further...
Universal basic income means everyone gets the income.. Even the rich.
I think one day this may have to be a reality due to automation of the workforce.
so when your Utopian world arrives will the Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos of the world make the same amount of money as you and me?
I agree.
People have no idea how fast AI is going to explode and replace jobs. Side note: stop electing idiots and old people that do not understand this future.
Of course not. Unless total socialism is the future, automation and AI will lead to greater levels of income inequality.
We will either dedicate ourselves to leisure, art, and education...or robbing and killing each other.
What happens when my Universal basic income check isn’t enough to keep up with the run away inflation (it would likely create)?
Can we walk out on our “Arts and leaisure” lifestyle and picket the capitol crying about “my pay doesn’t cover” my “leisure” and I actually have to work a 2nd job???

If you think the future holds runaway demand and inflation, either you are as mistaken as your spelling of leisure or I grossly underestimate the benevolence of our future plutocrats.
And if you really want to stay up late, read up on the weaponization of AI.
The type of run away inflation I’m referring to follows an utter collapse of the monetary system and disruption in supply of goods.
The additional $Trillions needed to be printed to fund such a “universal” scheme and resulting collapse would make most people wish Ai would wipe us out.
