Bit of UBI goodness. The only reason it's not implemented is because if people weren't stuck in underpaid jobs where corporations don't pay a living wage and welfare is used then they might ask questions.
And last time _that_ happened was the summer of 2020 which is why they've been desperate to "return to normal".

This is especially important when you look at technologies that may further displace peoples' abilities to generate income (cough cough #AI)

Alas. The best way to deal with 9 billion people is to brutalise and divide them apparently. So here we are.
@Homebrewandhacking @scottsantens @KimSJ It's like we all collectively forgot every sci-fi story we ever read.
removing people's ability to make money while requiring them to pay money to survive will exacerbate the wealth gap and will permanently indenture many. it's hard to watch. Especially when AI leaders lean on the messiah complex.
