What is the right's solution for 95% of current jobs being automated?
-
Aren't you a strip mall stock broker who works for Scotttrade or Fidelity? So probably slightly more than whatever your annual income is.
-
$7.11 per .28 hour of course.

However much somebody is willing to pay you for the work you do.
-
Out of the loop, I see
-
Is this for me, family, and friends, or is it for people I don't know?

Charles Murray, a prominent conservative political scientist, who made news of late as being the speaker the snowflakes rioted against at Middlebury, thinks it should be around $10,000 a year deposited into a certifiable bank account (Healthcare would be separate deal). No taxes on your first $30,000 (including the universal basic income) so as to remove dis-incentive from going out and getting a low paying job. Logic is that having $30,000 a year will be better for most, than $10,000 even if you have to earn it by showing up at a job. Right now too many in our society are choosing idle poverty (e.g., disability payments) over working poverty, because there's not much difference financially.

I'd love to hear your solution to the oncoming crisis of mass-automation

Sure if you want to live in your 2 dad's basement and subsist on ramen and Mountain Dew. But if you want hookers and blow you still gotta get a job at Orkin or something. The beauty of UBI is that is doesn't penalize one from taking the crummy job.Pitchfork51 said:

True true. 800 bucks a month isn't gonna get me too far. Maybe if I pop out a few kids I can get more.YellowSnow said:

You plan on popping out kids and stealing their basic income?

I like mine. $100k, insurances that cover everything so well a catastrophic event means nothing financially, 5% IRA matching, and 1% for every year worked for a pension based on your three highest income years.
Also if you hit 30 years and are at your minimum retirement age you get a Social Security bridge gap that equals your early Social Security amount. Dumbo wants to take this away though, even though he started receiving Social Security as a small child. -
I think we should let people vote every 4 years on how much their Basic Income should be.

You get basic income AND a job? no.

100% commission... About that time share..

People either love or hate their time share. Buyback/ resell bidness is big

It isn't a crisis. It won't happen over night. When Race was a kid, everyone thought there would be meal replicators and flying cars in every home and garage by the year 2000. Outside of manufacturing, automation to replace humans has advanced at a snails pace. And we don't hardly manufacture squat here anymore, anyway.dhdawg said:I'd love to hear your solution to the oncoming crisis of mass-automation

Fuck I hate stupid liberals. -
There's an easy way to make this work. Set the minimum income at whatever they want. Then simply mark your tax return to give the required percentage of your own income to fund the plan. Those opposing handouts wont have to pay and all those nice people wanting to give away money can easily do so. Program goes in the shitter because those wanting it won't pay.
Problem solved. End of discussion. -

Guys, don't worry, technology won't take over your job. We don't even have flying cars yet. I mean we all carry around fucking computers in our pockets but technology is moving at a snails pace.
