People criticizing this with “noooo i won’t have a purpose i need to earn my free time” Can’t relate to this at all. If you don’t know what you would do with free money and free time maybe you’re a natural born slave

Elon Musk suggested giving people money because AI will take their jobs The billionaire said that mass unemployment caused by artificial intelligence is only a matter of time, and governments will have to step in. In his view, the state should provide people with a form of

Universal basic income would make life so much easier for everyone. It is the height of self-destructive necrocapitalist insanity to oppose UBI.

If we can afford to give everyone a $16,100 tax deduction like we are already doing, then we can afford to give everyone a $4,500 tax credit, similar to what we did for kids in 2021. And just like with the CTC, people could choose to receive it monthly. scottsantens.com/replace-the-st…

This is bigger than politics. Elon says UHI. Yang says UBI. Trump says dividend. Different names, same underlying truth: AI is pushing us toward an economy where ownership and payouts matter more than wages.

I don't think people need to be grinding in some shit job they hate, surrounded by people they don't wanna be with, away from their family, to have purpose and be happy. You?

Your god given purpose is not to sit in a cubicle. Once the busy work is automated, people will be free to find real meaning.

There are sincere and well-meaning people who really believe that the average human life would lose all dignity if AI prevented them from working in a Starbucks or an Amazon warehouse and they were instead forced to remain at home and collect UBI.

GenX / Boomers, right and left, are so deeply spellbound by Economic Materialism that they cannot see what’s right in front of them. UBI is inevitable. Question the assumption that economic productivity is required for humans to have meaning. It’s an absurd premise of which

“Why would we let AI take our jobs and rely on the government?” What people don’t realize is, AI is GOING to take your jobs, most of them. It’s already starting. And unless the government is willing to SHOOT every single person that uses AI (unrealistic), most traditional jobs

Artificial intelligence is going to improve the lives of the very people who are spreading fear about its impact on society.

I wrote this to help people understand that universal basic income is not meant to permanently replace all jobs. It's meant to be a floor below which no one can fall, and a dividend that universally distributes a share of our economy. It's meant to provide the power to say no and

New policy brief by Economic Security Project calls for an income floor and AI dividends. These should be mainstream policy by now. "Preliminary research suggests that AI may already be lowering paychecks while displacing entry-level workers" "The U.S. tax code incentivizes companies to

A humanoid robot will cost us $30K and works 24/7 for $0.40/hour. A solar panel generates electricity for 3 cents/kWh. What exactly is the argument that we CAN'T create abundance?

Voluntary buyouts is the first move. Involuntary layoffs often follow, putting employees in a position where they think “maybe I should take this.”

"UBI seems to be effective...I don't need it to be perfect, I just need people not to starve." - George Stroumboulopoulos This is mainstream now.
