Anon OpinAs yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.
Mike Taylor 🦕@anon_opin I don't think it's that. I think it's just so counter-intuitive that it would work, that people find it hard to believe all the accumulating evidence.
廃墟猫 🐈🌈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛@mike @anon_opin I think it's definitely that. Notice that companies are excited about AI taking over people's jobs, but not suggesting giving everyone UBI because they won't need to work? Because the whole point is to force poor people into more and more desperate situations.
@Haikyoneko @anon_opin I prefer to follow Hanlon's razor.
@mike @anon_opin I honestly hope you're right.
