How genuinely pathetic is this behavior? #billionaires would rather move elsewhere instead of paying a tax to support #healthcare for the #poor in #California - they would rather #profit from #stock #gains by spending #billions on #AI #genai - when they talk of #UBI - beware - they will not help a single person who loses their #job to AI
"Resources" are people.
He's talking about firing thousands of people.

A lot of BS being hurled around here when it comes to #UBI - handing #money is not the only way. Provide basic #housing #healthcare #transportation #education #food #water #energy for free and pay for it with #tax on #income #wealth #inheritance that is steeply #progressive
After that one can assess the need for actually handing out #cash

How about this deal for #AI #genai evangelists - for every percent increase in #unemployment (above the starting point of 4%), the #tax on them goes up by 5% which is used to implement a universal basic income #UBI policy.
Any takers? Fair?

Artificial intelligence offers the potential to improve people’s living standards. Such advances can be approximated by changes in GDP per capita over time.www.dallasfed.org
We need universal basic income for many reasons, but one that is perhaps the most important right now is how much it would strengthen democracy. Universalism is cohesive. Unconditionality grows trust. More access to resources and less instability means more civic participation and govt satisfaction. #UBI

A reporter reached out to me last month with questions about Universal Basic Income that required hours of my time to answer. Here are all the answers I wrote to all the questions, none of which ended up being published by them. https://www.Hachyderm.io

Wie hoch sollte ein Bedingungsloses Grundeinkommen sein?
Was braucht Mensch im Monat, für ein Leben in Würde? Dieselbe Frage stellt sich auch für den Mindestlohn oder die Grundsicherung im Alter oder beim heutigen ALG2. BAFÖG-Empfänger*innen kommen da ins Schwärmen 😃
Darüber gab und gibt es unzählige Diskussionen und Meinungen.
Die Lösung: Pfändungsfreigrenze nach § 850c der Zivilprozessordnung.
Ab 1. Juli 2025 wären das mindestens 1560,00 Euro monatlich!

Das “Bündnis” schreibt auf Facebook:
„Südkorea hat gewählt. Warum lohnt sich ein Blick auf den neuen Präsidenten? Lee Jae-myung sieht u. a. das #Grundeinkommen als Lösung für die sozialen Probleme im Land. Die Einkommenssicherung über den gesamten Lebensverlauf ‚von der Geburt bis ins Alter’ ist eines seiner Wahlversprechen, schreibt The Korea Times. Nach den politischen Turbulenzen der vergangenen Monate tritt der Demokrat sein Amt mit drei zentralen Zielen an: Wirtschaft beleben, Ungleichheit verringern, das Land einen. Der Menschenrechtsanwalt steht für die sogenannte Basic Society – ein staatliches System, das Menschen einen grundlegenden Lebensstandard garantiert.“

Another successful Universal Basic Income study. There was no drop in productiveness "On average, study participants worked 40 hours a week and stayed in employment" “We find no evidence that people love doing nothing,” instead "their lives were “more valuable and meaningful” and felt a clear improvement in their mental health" since poverty is on purpose to keep us feeling stressed and beaten so we don't fight back #1984book

You don't have to be a math genius to realize that in a context of declining energy and raw materials, there will be no automation for 8 billion people. That false promise of UBI that even anarcho-capitalists use is the carrot that will send many of us back to the primary sector and other physical labor services.
