If it kills incentive to work how until the 70s (Reaganomics) wages kept up with productivity and productivity kept rising

2019-10-26 23:35:12 UTC  

And is still rising

2019-10-26 23:35:16 UTC  

As a minimum wage employee you really take on no risk

2019-10-26 23:35:36 UTC  

@Kyger I agree with that, but just look at the stock market and you puke

2019-10-26 23:35:51 UTC  

Money is like a gamble

2019-10-26 23:35:53 UTC  

It's just determining how much more they should be making I guess

2019-10-26 23:36:05 UTC  

Those who have it gain more from it

2019-10-26 23:36:18 UTC  

But I know my family still can't pay for bills and everything even though they're technically above minimum wage

2019-10-26 23:36:21 UTC  

Those who don't just suffer the consequences

2019-10-26 23:37:28 UTC  

If you get lucky or fortune goes your way and you get an unique product or service. You might be ones on your way to some good level of control. Otherwise it's pointless

2019-10-26 23:37:38 UTC  

Also don't forget links

2019-10-26 23:37:44 UTC  

Governmental

2019-10-26 23:37:59 UTC  

It's an ideology based on consumption and money

2019-10-26 23:38:01 UTC  

As well as the rich travel together

2019-10-26 23:38:32 UTC  

Capitalism will always lead to something like this, especially if you just leave it unregulated

2019-10-26 23:38:38 UTC  

Nobody want to give a bigger slice of the pie

2019-10-26 23:38:43 UTC  

It's a war

2019-10-26 23:38:54 UTC  

Also not a free market

2019-10-26 23:39:03 UTC  

so it's all corrupt anyway

2019-10-26 23:39:04 UTC  

I honestly can't think capitalism will ever be sustainable

2019-10-26 23:39:46 UTC  

But you don't have any realistic alternative either. Than the mixed economy, which is a hell already

2019-10-26 23:40:58 UTC  

I honestly believe that humans should've been developed to this extent

2019-10-26 23:41:31 UTC  

Sure shared that sentiment once, but don't know anymore myself.

2019-10-26 23:41:34 UTC  

Shouldn't've*

2019-10-26 23:41:58 UTC  

But honestly I don't think we can go back to anything less

2019-10-26 23:42:31 UTC  

It's good, maybe if we get UBI, it won't be so bad.

2019-10-26 23:42:33 UTC  

idk

2019-10-26 23:42:51 UTC  

Ubi was created by a capitalist

2019-10-26 23:43:10 UTC  

I don't know about that

2019-10-26 23:43:15 UTC  

It was

2019-10-26 23:43:17 UTC  

What are your thoughts on UBI?

2019-10-26 23:43:33 UTC  

I hate Yangs method of Ubi

2019-10-26 23:43:48 UTC  

I am mixed on it

2019-10-26 23:43:48 UTC  

Milton Friedman, thought of the negative income tax, which I think is better than UBI.

2019-10-26 23:43:53 UTC  

I know Bernie is flirting with it

2019-10-26 23:44:10 UTC  

But I have forgotten the technicalities of it

2019-10-26 23:44:25 UTC  

I could share a video

2019-10-26 23:44:39 UTC  

Neolithic Revolution was the cause of all ills

2019-10-26 23:44:41 UTC  

but we all wouldn't have the patience for it

2019-10-26 23:45:31 UTC  

Idk there are pros and cons to it

2019-10-26 23:45:35 UTC  

It'd surely help some get by
