Him: well what's your big brain idea to eliminate food assistance fraud? Me: universal food assistance Him: Me: because there wouldn't be a system to cheat, everyone would just get a check Him: and who does that benefit? Me: family farmers and human beings who rely on food for nutrition Him: what about rich people? Me: what about them? Him: you would give them food assistance too? Me: that's what universal means Him: you can't do that Me: yesterday you said I couldn't tax them and now you won't let me feed them either? Him: they can afford food Me: then it should be fine to tax them Him: but if you tax them they won't have as much money Me: I'm willing to offer universal food assistance

For years, I opposed #UniversalBasicIncome, firmly and reflexively. I treated it as a liberal fantasy — inviting idleness, stagnation, a sedative administered by a bloated state. That was the story. I told it OFTEN That position no longer survives contact with reality www.reddit.com/r/politics/s...

UK Minister Says Universal Basic Income May Be Needed for AI

Jason Stockwood, the U.K.'s investment minister, has said the government may need to consider a universal basic income (UBI) to support workers whose jobs are disrupted by AI, claiming industries affected by automation would require a "soft-landing" approach.

I try not to read below-the-line comments but I did today on a news piece about #universalBasicIncome being considered by #Ukgovernment in light of #AI

I see the tin-foil hat crew have now decided to object to #UBI on the basis that it might be tied to digital ID & will be paid using bank transfer so not in cash.

I appreciate people worry about the overmighty state but these are silly objections to one of the few constructive responses to the labour challenge of new automation
