    Wealth redistribution. The problem is that we funnel is directly back through purchases providing an inordinate amount of power to the owner class.

    In a bizarre way our existence will be allowed only to subsidize the wealthy.

    At that point we should ditch money all together.

    Follow the money. It goes from the wealthy to the government (taxes), to us to the wealthy through our purchases. Repeat

    Why on earth would we allow this profiteering middleman? At that point we should live under communism (not saying thats a bad thing). Its just simpler.

    Those who own the means of automation will live lavishly while the rest of us are given just enough to not revolt.

        I was responding to the idea that our jobs are going to be automated away.

        Which is exactly what I said’ The “productive” (those with the means of automation)

        Will live lavishly while the “unproductive” ( the rest of us) will not.

        I agree our current reality sucks. Im saying that UBI, as opposed to a moneyless society) is exactly what the wealthy would prefer

        The capitalist solution to a capitalist problem. Do not mistake my opposition of UBI to me being pro capitalist. Its exactly the opposite.

      Follow the money. It goes from the wealthy to the government (taxes), to us to the wealthy through our purchases.

      And right now it goes from the poor to the government (taxes) to the wealthy, and we don’t get fuck all.

      You’re saying you’d rather have nothing than have something.

        Im saying if we are going to be making radical changes, which I am in favor of, why stop there?

        Its like we cant even conceive of a world without capitalism.
