RE: Universal Basic Income as Compensation for the Creation and Defense of Private Property Rights

in #basicincome7 years ago

There are a ton of reasons basic income is a brilliant idea, but they've never worked. It's automation that will force our hand. Once more and more jobs get automated faster and faster, it will become increasingly difficult to not see what needs to be done, despite all the blinders in current use. I just hope we can implement it in time to alleviate a great deal of unnecessary suffering.

The point of using machines is to make less work for ourselves. We are made better off by increases in production rather than by work itself.
