Server is really going to shit when a mod spams memes on the wrong channel.

Whoa

The point of conservative social programs is to ensure the bottom of society isn't bottomless. It causes unrest and revolutions.

Even if you have no compassion, like Dan, there's a practical advantage in reducing the number of desperate people in your society.

Gay people are offensive in Islam

Comrade

Yep, ANTIFA are the biggest cucks of them all. I actually wouldn't mind if we shot ANTIFA members on sight.

By the way

@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] why 2X speed?

Because nobody got no time for dramatic pauses.

Teh robots!

I'd love to be able to simulate the effects of a 1k US$ monthly UBI on the economy of the USA. Where's my quantum computer and advanced economic modeling tools when I need them.

as awesome as UBI sounds, it'd most likely cause mass inflation

unless people selling shit didn't act greedy

but that'd never happen, greed is what holds society together

for the most part

Dude UBI is so easy to debunk

In order for the state to give all citizens $100 every day also means it must tax $100 from those same citizens every day

It can't just keep making more money than it taxes

It’s just sugar coated wealth redistribution

With out the benefit of them doing anything for that welfare

Well, for it to "work", you'd probably have to take it from corporations or the wealthy, mostly. At some point when enough people have lost their jobs, there will be too few consumers to purchase whatever the corporations you're taxing produce, unless there's UBI. So, if the corporations want to survive, they'd need to think of some way to gain a competitive advantage over their rivals. But this just seems so far away, currently, as there is no shortage of consumers.

It's obviously much more complicated than that, so I would not call myself an advocate.

It's simple, you reduce the population by slaughtering the proletariat in the streets

Then you abolish money and everyone gets free food from robots

mm. While UBI is a bad idea IMHO

saying "it's wealth redistribution" is one of the worst counterarguments imaginable

I mean, an impoverished population with nothing to do all day is a problem

because that's how you get crime happening

but muh Star Trek. People will be able to pursuit any Art they like

If robotics and AI continues to advance, at some point it makes sense to assume that there will be no jobs for you to do. So you might as well take up some hobby, like art, or submerse yourself in virtual reality.

The communists and anarchists can duke it out to see who will win in the eternal wargames of vr-valhalla.

but there will still be people with Drive to do things and people with Drive to do nothing.
