  You already have universal basic income where you guys are living ? Failing that it’s solely less low qualification jobs and more concentration of revenues for the few above. I don’t see that as « a net positive » -although semantically, those laid off would not be workers anymore so in that you’re right. Horrifically so.

    UBI is necessary for this to be positive, so that’s our problem. Not that machines are taking the job.

    Don’t throw shit at this, throw it at politicians.

      And yet you cheer on the loss of jobs and hand wave away issues as someone else’s problem. That makes you part of the problem as the side cheering on the destruction of people’s lives. Seriously how do you “workless utopia” fuckwits not see this?

        I actually just want UBI so every single working class can get the basic needs instead of the rich getting richer.

        I’m pretty sure I’m in the ground, and not in a tower with this opinion.

  It’s a net positive if those people are able to transition into other roles/ jobs.
