things like this sound good until you start figuring out how to pay for all of it. The basic income would likely cause massive inflation diminishing the value of the money and would leave us close to where we started.
He's and actual successful business man. :manny:

He laid out a plan :manny:

Click the link. He looks exactly how you would expect. lol
Sounds good. The last point about Human Capitalism is new to me. Color me impressed. :ehh:

I don't like the term. America has already done an experiment with Human Capitalism. They called it slavery. :stopitslime:

Also, the term is unnecessary. What he described is actually Western Europe Democratic Socialism. He gave it the terrible name replacement because he believes that Americans believe that "socialism" is still a dirty word.

That's been my concern as well. These companies are not gonna pass up the chance to take that $1000 away from you and claim some bullshyt like "costs".

Rent prices might sky rocket but I'm down for the experiment :ehh:

Thing is, it's hard to go back on things like that.

And I don't agree that everyone should get it. Maybe it's the fairest thing to do but for some people 12k isn't shyt. I wouldn't give it to anyone making over a certain amount

Most likely he's trying to avoid the accusation of "redistribution of wealth" and figures it'll be easier to give it everyone instead just people who make less than $450k. Basically treat it similar to SS. Everyone pays into it and everyone gets a SS check whether you're rich or poor. In this case it would just be a UBI check. UBI could in fact replace SS if done right.

Normally I'd agree but after Trump anything is possible.
Just heard him speak on the Sam Harris podcast (I know, but sheath your knives) and his entire pitch was focused on truckers and all the fly-over states who's economies will crash when trucking inevitably becomes automated. If he can pitch these ideas to the right people, and explain how his policies are specifically for them...who knows?
What's he doing for me?

Those flyover guys gave us trump. :hhh:

Our military is so big we could cut $200 billion from the budget and still be the biggest military by far. :hhh:
How do you propose replacing those jobs?

Serious question. One you'll have to answer when deplacing workers.

massive inflation is probably coming down the line either way..
