RE: Universal Basic Income is our future, at least according to Mark Zuckerberg
We already have universal income, its call do something productive and you will get paid for it. Anything other than that is call welfare. wake up people, no one should be getting something for nothing.
Well said! How could the economy be doing so well that we still need monthly income from the government. Im working and at the same time thinking like... Ok, you can give me an extra 2 grand a month. I do know there will be a lot that comes with that. 2 eggs and 2 strips of bacon will probably be 10 bucks. Smh.
You are correct. This is a scam. It is 'you give others your stuff ' marketed as 'we give you free stuff'
Affirmative!
For a super majority of people, their only capital they own is their ability to work. When that ability to work is lost by injury or disease, society has decided to provide a safety net called welfare to assist these people. Now a new threat is starting to rise. This new threat is automation. Automation reduces the value of this "ability to work capital."
If with accelerating automation the value of this type of capital is significantly reduced. What kind of capital should we replace it with?
