Yang explains that if someone is getting $750 in welfare already they'll only get $250 more under his little ubi plan thing
Yeah. So basically bankrupt the government.
Hyperinflation here we come
Honestly Yang just seems like a less dillusional Bernie to me.
UBI will become necisarry at some point in human development, but that will only be after a massive threshold of AI jobs are reached. I don't think we're even close.
I wouldn't be surprised if AI ends up creating more jobs after an adjustment period.
There's likely gonna be more jobs
and if there wasn't a minimum wage AI wouldn't be implemented
on everything
I don’t think ubi will ever be necessary.
New jobs will be created.
Because we'll all be ded
HELLFIRE
DESIRE
THIS BURNING IN MY SKIIIINNN
@Salacious Swanky Cat when AI can self replicate and can emulate or replace human ingenuity we will reach a point where UBI will be needed.
I doubt that will be in our generation.
Or our children's children.
I think the minimum wage should be entirely abolished. Let people learn that they can negotiate for their wages.
Minimum wage also fosters a sense of entitlement to a certain income.
Worse still is a real solution exists, but litterally nobody wants to hear it. 😒
Which real solution
Alternatives to gasoline.
Okay
The solution to the minimum wage problem is not too raise minimum wages endlessly (and often fecklessly), but to develop alternatives to gasoline and deisel fuels for automotive use.
Happy now?
I'm afraid i don't understand
the solution to the minimum wage problem is to change nothing except use electric cars instead of what we're using now?
... ¿Did I say *anything* about electric?
No, but that's the alternative we've got
which alternative would you like? Hydrogen?
If not hydrogen then which one would you prefer?
And how does using alternative fuels for automobiles remove the need for minimum wage or UBI?
I wish I could post pics
But minus the meme....my answer is working on battery tech
The solution to minimum wage is to abolish the minimum wage, heavily restrict immigration, repatriate all illegals and encourage people to live near their extended families.

I don't see how alternative fuels for automobiles fixes anything other than temporarily making it a little cheaper to fuel your vehicle and/or reduce climate change etc.
But I'd like to hear his explanation
I don't know which problem he thinks "alternatives to gasoline" are a solution to
We have diesel, electric, and hydrogen cars already
If we could convince 80-90% of women to leave the workforce and also stop the flood of immigration then wages would rise naturally back to the point that a single middle-class income would comfortably support a family. Then we could tackle the housing prices with a *severe* property tax on foreign landholders. Then we'd be in a position to start discussing government action on fuel alternatives, which is not really a problem in the US because we are a fuel exporter.
But I too would like to hear what this magical solution looks like.
One way to reduce our fuel usage/automobile outputs is to tax people that live far from their place of work.
I've got way to many coworkers with "Keep tahoe blue" stickers and green new deal garbage that commute 1.5 hours *each way* to work in their oh so efficient Hybrids. Meanwhile i drive my 1963 ford 1 mile (EDIT: 1 mile to work from my house) and use 10% the amount of fuel they do each week.
But it's hardly a large problem, automobile exhaust.
