  @LWD @L4s Ha ha ha. No.

  It means people get to starve in poverty because society has simultaneously decided that if you are t already rich then you must work as a moral imperative, but there is no work, and so while starving in poverty is unavoidable, you deserve it anyway.

  Because we live in a fucking dystopia.

    We won’t be living in a dystopia once they replace the police with AI robocops.

      Cops that obey the rules and don’t shoot random people or pets would be a huge step up for most of the US, so I don’t see the problem.

        Hallucinating AI. Or homelessness being interpreted as a crime, either through new legislation or by it being considered as trespassing.

  What is the path to UBI from here? AI tax?

    @los_chill @LWD there isn’t one. The oligarchs and billionaires want feudalism.

      There is one. Their estates hold trillions together. Masters are merely men, when the sun is down.

        @Sanctus All well and good as long as you have a guillotine.

    In a more reasonable world, it would be something levied at the people who demand (and have been receiving) infinite growth…

    A wealth tax.

  That would only happen if people thought the disparity in wealth should shrink instead of grow.
