People who think all jobs will go away in the future lack critical thinking skills.People that think UBI isn't an obvious necessity for the future simply lack critical thinking skills.

Does it HURT to be this stupid?If you count all taxes we now have a flat tax system, which itself is a giveaway to the rich...Exactly what the GOP has been doing the last 35 years, a giveaway to the rich and screwing the rest d u h....Are you rich? Do you have an advanced education? No, you drive a truck. And without government you have nothing. Where you going to drive that truck with no roads?
Government is good for some things but not most. That's why our founders listed in the Constitution what our federal government is responsible for. Government is supposed to provide good for all people--not people of a particular party or group while ignoring or taking away from others.
What exactly is being "given" to the rich? Are you referring to the income they earned? Regarding the poor, we spent a trillion dollars on them last year. What the hell happened?
Universal basic income is complete bullshit.a UBI would be cheaper and more effective than what we do now, economically. If you take the total amount we spend on anti-poverty programs and divide by the number of poor people, there should be no poor people!
Poor people aren’t lazy, they’re trapped in the current system. A UBI is not contingent on staying poor, so it would both lift people out of poverty and flatten out the benefits cliff. Of course, this means that the new UBI would be instead of existing programs, rather than a supplement, and not everyone agrees with that.
Finally, there is crude "realpolitik." Plenty of very wealthy people already live in the US, and the new economy is likely to create inequality on steroids. In a democracy, the poor and middle class have many tools to “negotiate” redistribution at gunpoint.

Keep listening to the billionaires. They have everyday Americans best interests at heart.
I still haven't gotten an answer on who all is actually going to pay for the UBI yearly, and for how long ??? The government isn't the Union, so using the tax code to force all companies to pay higher taxes in order to fund workers that are misplaced by A-I in some companies is as wrong as Obamacare was on the taxpayers in which made them abide by a mandate... It will be interesting to see if they try an attempt it on those not involved.a UBI would be cheaper and more effective than what we do now, economically.

If software companies drug tested, I figure we'd still be playing Pong and using dial-up.Everything Reagan started drug testing the government workers and contractors... Where have you been?Drug testing has been going on for the last couple of decades. WTF do you mean "thanks GOP?" WTF does a political party have to do with private industry drug testing applicants and employees?
The GOP's Drug-Testing Dragnet
I actually agree with you for the most part on drug testing in the workplace. It's gotten out of control. Predictably, it's being abused. It's become an invasion of privacy overreach.
I mean, drug testing a lowly Walmart worker? They're already being degraded enough, accepting such a shitty job. I can understand drug testing with certain occupations, but it's clearly being abused now. Thankfully, more & more businesses are moving towards ditching the practice.
That's not what I've seen. I've seen more and more companies adopting drug screening.
The trend is beginning to reverse. I mean, i get drug testing in certain professions, but it's gotten out of control. It's become an invasion of privacy issue. How much will we allow businesses to own folks? There's a personal life, and there's a work life. We need to get back to allowing separation.
I don't care what they say. I look at their actions. When they personally start cutting the checks (Zuckerberg is running a miscue test for publicity), I will give their word some credence. There is no possible way they could finance it long-term for every adult. Pure insanity. So, who is really going to be paying all this money?a UBI would be cheaper and more effective than what we do now, economically.

health care is important enough for us to put first. education is important enough for us to put first. UBI is important enough for us to put first.
they're all important. everything's important.
