Not right now, of course, but soon

please no, no UBI

I dont see an alternative solution when automation kicks into overdrive

Unless theres some sort of massive robitics convention which limits automation

automation has been kicked into overdrive for decades

war, or a new job robots can't do

but UBI can't work

Robots literally take over jobs in fallout

its mathematically impossible

Warfare is already on the table

But you can’t have a bunch of robots working in the police force

Russia and china are both pursuing autonomous weapons systems

And the idea of automated cashiers is almost nonexistent

Id be amazed if other countries werent doing it in secret

Why is it mathematically impossible?

cuz you'd either have to tax everyone 100%, making working useless, meaning the jobs you can't replace yet exceptionally hard to fill

Economies produce surpluses. As long as the UBI pool does not exceed that, the balance sheet remains positive.

or you'd have to hyperinflate every payout session

making the money literally useless to have

But then for each tax you pay 90% of it

And then you’re left with some money

Maybe I have a different definition of UBI.

And you pay 90% of the next without replenishing

You’re just going to lose it all

Is it not a guarantee of a minimum income?

He’s basically just saying lower our taxes

yes

but how do you get that minimal income?

From the economy's surplus.

How do you finance any other government program?

tax money

Well then if everyone is taking it from the economy then no one is going to replenish the economy

if you have machines to replace all food production, you can do it everywhere

Thus making food non-tradable

meaning you stop getting economy surplus

cuz the economy in those branches stops

and you still have to invest resources into maintaining the machines

If we can automate food production then we can be satisfied

Which is basically it

A utopia is heavily controlled

You would calculate the budget for UPI by the number of people receiving it multiplied by the amount of income it's supposed to guarantee, roughly.

automate food production, and automate its automation
