“Your solution.”

2019-01-04 22:30:27 UTC  

“I agree with ‘x’.”

2019-01-04 22:30:44 UTC  

“What is ‘x’’s solution?”

2019-01-04 22:31:02 UTC  

"go read x's essay on the solution"

2019-01-04 22:31:28 UTC  

it's your job to agree with me, not my job to educate you

2019-01-04 22:31:34 UTC

An attitude which only makes sense if you live in an ivory tower where everyone is so well off they have nothing better to do than read

2019-01-04 22:32:20 UTC  

“If you’re so tailored to ‘x’, then explain ‘x’ in the simplest way you can.”

2019-01-04 22:32:42 UTC  

“I might mess up, you should watch ‘x’’s video.”

The gist is that you have a guarantee of income that is proportional to your taxable income.

2019-01-04 22:33:13 UTC  

So as you give money

2019-01-04 22:33:14 UTC  

Instead of UBI, it does not destroy the incentive to work in the same way.

2019-01-04 22:33:17 UTC  

It comes back over time

2019-01-04 22:33:24 UTC  

the real fun is when you do go watch x and come to a different conclusion than them

2019-01-04 22:33:35 UTC

“Actually I think ‘x’ means this:”

2019-01-04 22:33:54 UTC  

I think hes saying if you give 100 dollars in taxes you should get 10 dollars from the government

2019-01-04 22:33:58 UTC  

“No, no ‘xm doesn’t.”

2019-01-04 22:34:20 UTC  

not that the numbers or precents are accurate, but thats the general gist of the idea

2019-01-04 22:34:23 UTC  

“Well if ‘x’ doesn’t mean what I think ‘x’ means, then explain ‘x’’s position to me.”

2019-01-04 22:34:25 UTC  

I respect you guys for trying to get a way to fix this

2019-01-04 22:34:32 UTC  

Fix what?

2019-01-04 22:34:34 UTC  

You’re gay

2019-01-04 22:34:39 UTC  

So the more you contribute the more you get back

2019-01-04 22:34:42 UTC  

I can’t fix your sexuality

2019-01-04 22:34:45 UTC  

that would solve my largest problem with the UBI

2019-01-04 22:34:54 UTC  

I have reach the mindset of just awaiting the mad max world

2019-01-04 22:35:28 UTC  

Okay so for the amount you give in you get a return that’s even

2019-01-04 22:35:37 UTC  

It isn’t what you wanted

2019-01-04 22:35:48 UTC  

But you understand that it will help you later on

2019-01-04 22:36:06 UTC  

Right

2019-01-04 22:36:18 UTC  

UBI is the only solution for a more automated society though

2019-01-04 22:36:29 UTC  

Oh god

2019-01-04 22:36:32 UTC  

Not right now, of course, but soon

2019-01-04 22:36:33 UTC  

please no, no UBI

2019-01-04 22:36:48 UTC  

I dont see an alternative solution when automation kicks into overdrive

2019-01-04 22:37:02 UTC  

Unless theres some sort of massive robitics convention which limits automation

2019-01-04 22:37:17 UTC  

automation has been kicked into overdrive for decades

2019-01-04 22:37:21 UTC  

war, or a new job robots can't do

2019-01-04 22:37:25 UTC  

but UBI can't work

2019-01-04 22:37:27 UTC  

Robots literally take over jobs in fallout
