What's UBI

@Asatru Artist - MD People who are productive will always want to be productive, people who don't won't, UBI will not change that.

Brutal

i wish congress would try and pass a reparations bill already

also push for a white tax and a man tax

got an /accelerationist/ i see

post cucked

@Asatru Artist - MD And watch them burn our cities to the ground, crime rates soar and attack productive people and take what they have, when they realize they can't afford to eat?

No UBI.

lmao we have to bribe the nonWhites to not burn stuff down? that's our grand plan?

I can't imagine something more unwhite than cradle to grave welfare.

The Romans did that. It failed.

Paid the barbarians off constantly.

Bread and Circus

That too.

But they paid the Huns and other tribes at their borders for years.

Let’s get this Circus

That's sportsball

There are legitimate concerns about what to do with the populous in a post-scarcity society.

Post-scarcity is a total myth

Let’s get this eggball

floss this eggball*

Bolshevik fallacy.

@Alexander Pechorin Oh okay. Never mind then.

No.

y'all call me an accelerationist, i just want to give black wamin their dues

Can you floss with an eggball......wow talent

@Asatru Artist - MD Pretty much, the uncomfortable truth about ubi and welfare is that they are partially tributes to the modern day Mongols so they don't burn our cities down.

Minorities already have UBI

Noice

It’s not quite post scarcity it’s what happens when our low IQ people have no job that won’t get replaced my robots

Good

not to take away from the UBI discussion, but is anyone here familiar with Neil Erikson in australia?

No UBI, but trash as currency

Guys it's totally snowing

@Alexander Pechorin I know post-scarcity isn't a real thing, but it is possible that at some point, large numbers of people will be unable to get work due to various other factors, right?

Love as currency

@VinceChaos that doesn't happen overnight. Cost of robot replacement is too high for most firms to pay in the short term. My company has millions in manufacturing equipment and it would be so costly to replace that it would offset any gains by robots for decades. This is the story with most technological advances in machining. It takes a while. Society generally has more time to adapt than we think.
