thats pretty signifigant

The same thing happened during the industrial revolution

You think we can't create sentient AI with intelligence that matches or surpasses human intelligence?

The same thing happened with computers

A bunch of people lost their jobs and then people got jobs in New fields

It was a terrible situation for the people lost their jobs for sure but all of the jobs didn't go away

"The factory of the future will have two employees. A Man, and his dog. The Man will be there to take care of the dog, the dog will be there to insure the Man doesn't touch the machines."

Look I'm not totally against welfare

I would like to see a situation where everybody has a warm place to sleep and a place to shower and use the bathroom

But I'm against them having cellphones TVs

I just think Basic Income is an idea whose time has come

meaning we'll see a form of it deployed whether we want to or not

I'm not heartless I want people to be taken care of

and we'll have to see what kind of impact it has, if its repealed or if it becomes our new truth

not saying that

I don't know man a lot of people become callous and unsympathetic to people who don't work

I don't actually expect Basic Income will be a deciding factor in the upcoming Presidential run

I just can't see lawmakers passing something like that

its too young, too unproven

and americans are too tight on their finances

I don't think there's enough support for the idea

but its something we'll see talked about more and more

Nobody wants a massive tax like to pay for this

i'd actually agree that it's not going to happen in 2020

universal health care will still be the top issue

That will be definitely be a big one

I just hope we have UBI by 2040 or so

Well I wouldn't bet on that man don't listen to politicians that promise you free stuff

Well one state already has UBI

although it's only like 1000 a year

And that's the problem we could probably only afford to do a thousand a year

do you mean Alaska?

Yes

because thats not exactly basic income

I think its called a Residency credit

and its literally Alaska paying to keep people living there

I don't understand how people live off of $1,000 a month

Well, it depends on what part of the country you live in

in NYC obviously it would be impossible

or LA
