lol noice

that being said just thinking about what I'd do with an extra $1000 a month....

lol im so not down with ubi

probably the same I do now but with nicer furniture

thats probably what would happen, ppl adjust their output to be right back where they were pre ubi

solving nothin

i touched on UBI yesterday when talking about birth rates, UBI seems to be needed because of trying to pump up birth rates

let the birth rates fall you reduce the need of it since eventually population will drop to what is sustainable

i'm starting to think lower birth rates in the west is not a problem but an adjustment

Africa is simply breeding itself into greater poverty

its big gov that cannot be weaned off the faucet of tax revenue

so instead of downsizing to meet pop levels, they just import the 3rd world

then realise they don't have enough jobs to go around

its a return feudalism

return to*

although the issue would be is how long till it balances out, at what point does the birth rate balance out with the rate of automation

new jobs will appear. this is always the case

old jobs become obsolete, new ones come up

but not always at the same rate as ones gone

sure, thats true

we're already not that far off from self driving cars

it's going to be massive on the transport industry, every cab driver, every truck driver, farming and warehouses

Amazon already have automated forklift thingys in their warehouses

already have delivery drones

i'd be willing to bet that there will still be a supervisor in many commercial transports

instead of driving, youre supervising

they've already started making cashiers obsolete too

and assisting

just like with self service instead of hiring 6 people on the registers they have one watching over 6 self service registers

and even that is becoming obsolete with delivery and things like that Amazon store

it wouldn't be too bad if something like a UBI was limited and timed as a means of easing the transition but government never surrender power

the only thing i could be persuaded on regarding ubi, is what to do with the rertarded population, but we already have SSI for them

those are going to be the ones to truly get hit hard when menial tasks are onbsolete

Do you all know whats really obsolete? Humans! You all better start working on ascending.

lol ok johnny dep

omg did you just assume my species?

Yes, because only dumb apes use the internet.

good thing i dont use the internet, i use the BigTnet
