Yes that’s humans help each other through non profits churches etc not government involvement

2020-03-17 17:06:58 UTC  

People should be dependent on people, not the government. "Welfare" should be charity, not a human right

2020-03-17 17:07:06 UTC  

You never count on government for that

2020-03-17 17:08:03 UTC  

liquidation of welfare is not the same as ubi too.

2020-03-17 17:08:22 UTC  

See that’s the main difference between Lou and others Lou wants government to decide and I don’t

2020-03-17 17:08:32 UTC  

I don’t want government to decide

2020-03-17 17:08:52 UTC  

I’d be good with ridding ourselves of welfare in general probably the worst thing USA has done

2020-03-17 17:08:57 UTC  

But we might as well use the government for something useful. Did you guys know DC is the richest city/state in the country?

2020-03-17 17:09:26 UTC  

All these politicians becoming millionaires while the average middle class American continues to lose

2020-03-17 17:09:29 UTC  

gee i wonder why

2020-03-17 17:09:54 UTC  

So instead of arguing we can fix it. Why do you think the government would never support UBI many of them are funded by giant tech companies.

2020-03-17 17:09:54 UTC  

Off our taxes dude

2020-03-17 17:10:14 UTC  

well theyre funded by us.

2020-03-17 17:10:34 UTC  

I would argue you can even get rid off income tax through Value Added Tax

2020-03-17 17:11:01 UTC  

@lou777 is the average middle class American better off now than they was 10-20 years ago?

2020-03-17 17:11:26 UTC  

Now with people being laid off with the corona virus?

2020-03-17 17:11:40 UTC  

Still are they better off?

2020-03-17 17:11:45 UTC  

Not this instant. But a few months ago yes.

2020-03-17 17:12:20 UTC  

I would hope. It doesn’t change the fact that things will get worst in the future for a lot of middle class Americans

2020-03-17 17:12:22 UTC  

😐

2020-03-17 17:12:37 UTC  

Especially white Americans in rural areas. Coal jobs arent coming back.

2020-03-17 17:12:42 UTC  

Middle class are always worst off to million/billionaires. But they still going to be better off than the last middle class generation

2020-03-17 17:13:13 UTC  

Capitalosm is the best

Americans period are "better off" than the rest of the world. The bottom class of US residents is better off than most of the world. $20k a year puts you in the worldwide "1%".

2020-03-17 17:14:34 UTC  

It’s ok if y’all think things will only get better. I’m fine with the future. I’ll have a job regardless of the outcome.

I just feel bad for all the middle class workers who will lose their job to automation and don’t have any skills or college degrees to get by

2020-03-17 17:15:20 UTC  

Tbh it happens. People need to learn to save and stock up. As sad as that sounds

2020-03-17 17:15:24 UTC  

I would assume many of you also have good jobs. I would assume some of you have college degrees. Maybe I’m doing too much by thinking of others.

2020-03-17 17:16:00 UTC  

the problem isnt automation in itself. the problem we need to avoid is shocking the greater economy with changes it cant adapt to. automation with working class jobs needs to be a slow process.

2020-03-17 17:16:09 UTC  

me too stoopid cuz i have no degree

2020-03-17 17:16:18 UTC  

Thinking of others is great. Giving the government responsibility to care for them is not.

2020-03-17 17:16:25 UTC  

how did i even type this?

2020-03-17 17:17:21 UTC  

@saturn broker I agree 100 percent. The problem is I don’t think tech companies care so much. I guess we’ll just have too see the impact of automation

2020-03-17 17:17:55 UTC  

automation is highly beneficial for humanity

2020-03-17 17:18:02 UTC  

I agree. We need automation

2020-03-17 17:18:10 UTC  

ultimately it will be. but not without some growing pains

2020-03-17 17:18:19 UTC  

But like Saturn was saying. It needs to be gradual.

2020-03-17 17:18:43 UTC  

We’ll see what the future holds

2020-03-17 17:19:25 UTC  

the future will be eventually bright

2020-03-17 17:19:43 UTC  

it's already starting to look good
