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
Everyone shares because there is no merit
No one in the giver was making the best new invention
Everyone was content with what they had
you can get UBI once you can automate automation,
At which point you don't need UBI anymore cuz theres no requirement to work
well
Hmm?
We have money to finance our military.
There’s still going to be people repairing shit though
By that logic, it would be impossible to have an army.
Flipping burgers? Yeah you dont need a human for that
^
fuck an army
Don’t need humans to kill robots can do it
I am just talking about UBI.
people have been repeating that prediction for nearly a century
the US constitutions 2nd amendment makes it clear that an army is not neccessary. A militia with ICBMs mounted with nuclear warheads can deal with that
Which is why I think drones that are piloted by a device from a pilot far away are immoral
you need humans to be shot though,
lower population so you get less strain on those that are still needed
we keep finding new shit to move the humans to
ICBMs with nuclear warheads are legal for indiviudals to have according to the 2nd amendment
War is bad
all the automation just magnifies the human effort, never replaces it
But when one person can go to war without the fear of getting shot then there’s a problem
I still don't understand what the mathematical arguments against UBI are.
catastrophic inflation
UBI is fine
Give a lot, take a little
