I'm going to quote it again.

```Yeah why would I pay taxes if I'm not making money I can hoard?
I'm not taking money from anyone, so what's your issue?```

None of the green paper is flowing in my direction.

There should be ZERO ISSUE

I am not a vacuum for it.

That's what an illegal immigrant is, that I am not. Savvy?

Or are you still angry for no reason?

The UBI comes from the government. The government takes money from other people. You want a UBI which may result in a tax increase. Ergo you want to tax me more thus taking money from me that I would otherwise use.

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.

Ubi is pointless because automation will crash the dollar to begin with.

So let's kill ourselves now.

That is a larger worry isnt it

No point living in a future with so much suffering.

#youfirst

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.
