    UBI or not UBI?

    Universal Basic Income is a transfer of money saved by automation to everyone. Unlike the CARIES Act, the HEROES Act, and the Build Back Better Bill, it will not be funded by creating money/expanding the money supply/inflation, but by a transfer of money to rebalance the economy to compensate...

    What would you do with 1,000 dollars a month?

    The source for this money is the money saved on labor by automation. At present, the company that automates keeps this money as profit and makes no contribution to the workforce no longer required. The workers released will then compete with others in the workforce. Some may have to retrain...

    Is Universal Basic Income the answer?

    Intent UBI transfers money saved by automation to production workers replaced by automation. Source It is a tax levied on production inside the country and manufactured goods imported into the country, so it can not be avoided by automating outside the country. Beneficiaries It is currently...

    Stress, anxiety, depression, worry, Yin or Yang?

    Knowing you and everyone around you would get 1,000 dollars a month unconditionally would reduce my worries a lot and give me the freedom to upgrade my technical skills which have fallen behind while I spent years in a dead-end job that paid the bills and eventually ended. If you had a...

    What are Andrew Yang's Prospects?

    It's mainly about the publicity. He could win. The way to stop him in 2024 would be to ensure he got no publicity at all. In 2020 that method allowed the Democratic Party to sideline him entirely and gave him zero delegates. But there are far more independents than there are Democratic or...

    An era to look forward to

    We are now entering the Fourth Industrial Revolution - or 4.0 - think of the possibilities. As with each stage of the Industrial Revolution there are keywords such as this one is: faster smarter safer cleaner. A good contrast with the first one which put smoke all over every building in a...

    Why do we have a two party system?

    In a one party state there is no dodging responsibility, with two parties you can keep passing the buck back and forth forever, and the group that is out of power and annoyed thinks: 'just wait 4 years and then it's our turn' as though that's going to make much difference, but they will spend...

    the Middle moved... a long time ago

    'Moderate' isn't where it used to be. We now have many millions more people in the job market than there are opportunities for employment. It started in 1975 when automation reduced the job opportunities in agriculture and in manufacturing. The workforce was primarily male, and yes, it was...

    Do we really have to go with the DNC & RNC picks?

    The candidates lobbyists and the rich pick are ones who will do the most for them and the least for everyone else. Ever wonder why there's no one to vote for? The multi-zillionaires own both parties and pick both candidates, and when they get in, the politicians move Trillions of dollars up the...

    What do you think of the Dark Horse Duo plan?

    Bret Weinstein announced his plan to elect the next President called, the Dark Horse Duo. This idea is gaining traction on social media with the hashtags #Unity2020 and #DarkHorseDuo. What do you think? Would this result in a third Party failure similar to Ross Perot? Will it save the...

    What would happen if we voted for whom we want rather than who we think might win?

    All I'd have to do is choose between Andrew Yang and the Green candidate, since I think most of us would agree that the 'main' parties have failed to come up with anyone likely to be up to the job. Those two old parties would cease to be 'main' very quickly if we could get a consensus on who we...
