Nigga.
Ignore the tax increase
Automation is a job abbatoir.
It's irrelevant. That argument was sound.
Plus you cant tax the the UBI, so taxes would have to come from post UBI income.
Subtract the people who are already on social security from working and those under 18
And I agree that automation is a labor nightmare.
Agreeing to that puts you on a hook you won't soon be let off.
A hook called the truth which elbows its way into every argument we're having.
But workarounds are not going to fix it.
Automation is HUGE and a permanent fixture of every conversation like this.
I've had this exact debate, with far more civility, with someone else.
There's no putting it behind us.
And my positions haven't changed.
Oh I guess you expect me to care that you had it before.
Well lemme give it a try.
Rude
Rye. I care.
I care a lot.
So much.
So let's kill ourselves now.
That is a larger worry isnt it
No point living in a future with so much suffering.

I don't want to be a survivor of mad max future.
There's nothing to look forward to.
🤔
I don't particular see the concern over automation
Automation will be the 21st century Pandora's box
The crash of the dollar isn't a nuclear explosion.
I'm supposed to feel silly about my own points, because Rye would like to argue we're fucked either way.
>everything is automatic
>no human labor
>socialism will finally work
>the dollar will fail
>we should die
???
Our dollar is valued based off of labor. That's what was being missed
That's what a fiat currency is.
Good
if a machine replaces a janitor, then that janitor just doe something else that is now in demand.
Don't you know money is evil
