    I'm not strictly against UBI, but you will have to get vaccinated to get it and you will have to vote for the top 2 parties in your country. Also, you'll hsve to take regular drug tests, not own weapons, give in your internet history, and need ti sign a pledge that you're not a political extremist. That irks me.

          That's why proponents of UBI need to be clear about what UBI is. It needs to be universal, and basic, and income. If it's not all three of those, it's not UBI.

Even digital infrastructure and have the government subsidize development and support of open source software on a mass scale. Put people who need work to work on valuable public goods
    There's work that can be done or made that would be productive. Governments should be trying to restore the idea of work as fulfilling and worthwhile by creating fulfilling and worthwhile work rather than acquiesing to work as "boring" and "pointless"

    No. Even if rich people have enough money to theoretically pay for everyone's UBI, wealth is ultimately just a representation of ownership in farming + manufacturing + energy + healthcare + a few other core industries. Once UBI kicks in there will be no incentivization to participate in the labor required for these core industries, so all of the money that rich AI owning corporations have will be worthless. You cannot have a world of retirees. A slave class is required for society to actually function. AI won't be farming anytime soon, it would require too much unscalable robotics.

          For the US, it would cost nearly the entire current federal budget. It would have to be paid in a combo of large budget slashes across all social programs, massive tax increases on the middle class and up, and massive money printing. Without controlling inflation or subsequent government intense regulation or takeover of industry to control costs and distribution of goods, it will balloon unsustainably

                $1000 UBI for adults 18+ would cost 3.1 Trillion. All military spending is 2.1 Trillion. Welfare is 1.2 Trillion (and that's just federal). Social security and Medicare is another 2 Trillion. You could slash the military budget and pull the entire welfare budget to pay easily for UBI. Social security could be replaced by UBI as well, so you might only need to slash military spending by half.

                UBI is essentially welfare reform. that's why hardcore lefties hate it since all they really care about is having more access to government administrative tools and control. UBI """theoretically""" removes the administrative part and ruins their fun.

                Sure, if you want less welfare and less taxes then that's a fine solution.

                If you do want welfare, a significant amount, then I think UBI is the best way to implement it instead of means testing. Needs to be tried at least once, might have some interesting/positive social benefits.

                right, yea. this is sort of the argument for UBI pre-AI. it's theoretically supposed to stimulate artisans, artists, create equal opportunities, things like that. it's pretty unrealistic, but in a 'perfect world' it might work. AS IS.

                I think the strongest argument for UBI is that UBI encourages people to take risks with their careers. $1000/month padding could really grease the cogs, allow them to move around where they need to be. Detach healthcare from employment and it's even better. The more frictionless an economy the better. Both capitalists and lefties want to see workers pinned down. They only want control, either through corporate wage slavery or state run administrative institutions.

                if you erase invisible taxes like federal reserve and other programs invented to give social credit and billions to billionairs on demand, you end up with a collapsed economy (their system isn't worth anything without their tyranny, and as soon as their money inevitably actually trickles down it will actually flood and runaway inflation will look like a joke. Imagine blackrock dies tomorrow. that's trillions into the ether or someones pocket.

            In terms of raw payouts to citizens, it's a welfare cut. $1000/month does not replace social security or student aid or disability assistance, which are middle class assets as much as they're poverty line assets. It probably does replace food stamps and housing assistance individually or lumped together.
            Cutting the military down heavily and quickly would likely be bad geopolitically, but could possibly cut veteran benefits and cut off access to a large number of benefits like housing and education and the like.
            There's no cost control associated with it, so ultimately it slashes lower and middle class access to more goods.
            If it's held at a strict line, it ultimately slashes lower and middle class government goods with little account for cost of living.
            If pegged to CPI, it implodes like social security is.
            If it accounts for additional social costs appropriately, it likely implodes as well.
            If it comes with deflation and cost controls, it could work, but probably won't because overreach and that's least profitable for business/politicians

                where do you get this idea? where is that implied?

                You gave some napkin math about current welfare costs.
                I asked you why not just reduce taxes and you didn’t answer.

                So again, where does that money come from? It seems to me you just want to create yet another burdensome federal program that is going to enable political embezzlement. Just like every other wealth transfer program in this nation.

                TL;DR you’re stupid. Stop pretending your ideas aren’t just as stupid as you are.

                AI replacing everyone's jobs, even if it were possible now or anytime soon, would take many steps of stupidity as it wouldn't be held accountable in the end. Robotics aren't there, computing size and AI efficiency aren't there. It's cutting down on office work by companies. It's essentially a replacement for work that would currently be at risk of outsourcing to India.
                But it also creates the ability for massive administrative work to be done by small businesses or individuals, drastically raising the ceiling on their scale and lowering overhead costs.

              welfare is poorly distributed, 15% of it is downright fraudulent and the rest can't be much better. government employees are incompetent at best, downright corrupt at worst, so you can't really expect them to spend welfare without most of it going to some crony frickface nepotistic piece of shit developer that's sucking the government teat dry building exorbitant "low-income" housing projects.

              Same exact shit with the military. Those Pentagon homosexuals with their bullshit boy-scout medals are the biggest welfare queens in the world.

              • 10 months ago
                Anonymous

                Since UBI's overall spending is more than current welfare and it's more efficient than current welfare then it should be mathematically impossible for it provide less overall benefit than the means tested welfare. Adding UBI and subtracting previous benefits should give you a higher number.

                >Why not clean up welfare corruption and fraud instead?
                Impossible. any system that is complicated to the point of obfuscation and has innumerable amount of cash valves will always be corrupt and defrauded. It's like the perfect environment for some kind of bacteria. Even if you kill 99.99% of it, it will just grow back until you change the environment, either by exposing it to sunlight or removing the food source.

                also there are a bunch of other benefits besides low administration costs and effectively zero-fraud.

                Not for people who utilize government benefits for social security, healthcare, education, disability, housing, food, etc. The amount of money accessible to people who cannot individually afford those things is drastically cut. Those things don't become magically more affordable or accessible with UBI, they require more individual wealth or greater reliance on credit.
                That's on top of inflation, possibly increased tax burden, and smaller job pool.
                The return to people who would need it would not mean much.

      For the US, it would cost nearly the entire current federal budget. It would have to be paid in a combo of large budget slashes across all social programs, massive tax increases on the middle class and up, and massive money printing. Without controlling inflation or subsequent government intense regulation or takeover of industry to control costs and distribution of goods, it will balloon unsustainably
      And there's the real question of if you trust the people in charge enough to be more reliant on them to live

        $1000 UBI for adults 18+ would cost 3.1 Trillion. All military spending is 2.1 Trillion. Welfare is 1.2 Trillion (and that's just federal). Social security and Medicare is another 2 Trillion. You could slash the military budget and pull the entire welfare budget to pay easily for UBI. Social security could be replaced by UBI as well, so you might only need to slash military spending by half.

        UBI is essentially welfare reform. that's why hardcore lefties hate it since all they really care about is having more access to government administrative tools and control. UBI """theoretically""" removes the administrative part and ruins their fun. Of course, in practice, they will probably just corrupt it, remove the U, and turn it into another tool of control as other anons have mentioned.

          That's precisely why they would implement it. UBI is the opposite of socialism. It would increase inequality and would divide the society into another class of people who are not allowed to work. A socialist solution would be a program of guaranteed jobs for everyone, for example.

            not him but as i said

            UBI can certainly work if your country fully utilizes it.

            Product is distributed among people. Leftovers/Surplus gets exported to other countries.
            Profit is then divided to the people after maintenance fees.

            OR better yet.

            The people maintain a machinery provided by the government.

            Lets say they provide you a home aquaponics setup. The government sets a fish/produce that needs to be grown to be exported.

            You only need to MAINTAIN IT. like giving it electricity/Feeding the fish/Checking the pumps everyday.

            At the end of the month the government asks if you want to sell your fish/produce. Then those produce are exported to other countries and you get your share.

            This one works like a guaranteed job you only need to take care of the stuff from day to day for minutes a day. which is more viable.

    No. You might think otherwise because you're a white collar office rat who has never seen a real jobsite in his life.
    The reality is that a significant portion of the work being done today by blue collar workers either can't be automated or could've been automated decades ago but wasn't because it was too expensive. No modern solutions exist for either yet.
    The moment white collars start getting significant benefits like UBI or considerably shorter work weeks simply because they have an office job is the moment a class war starts.

Companies need to keep you predicate and with a certain amount of liquidity in order to entrench their power and keep the ponzi rolling along. Should they deem you beyond use (aka breeder or consumer) then you better get comfortable with the idea of being homeless, owning nothing and being happy just like you're seeing in places like LA with the homeless towns.
