Nonsense. Nobody's gonna bother with the subsistence UBI.

This is what bugs people. We can tell the part they're bullshitting about is the promise of a subsistence UBI. No wonder people boo.

I’m know it’s better in some other countries, but in the U.S., we can’t even agree that all people with jobs should have health insurance.

  • That’s even a bit optimistic. We can’t agree that all people with full time jobs should be able to afford the basics for their own survival.

    • hey now, they should be grateful they get enough tokens for their appointments with ClaudeMD for their statistically below par data labeling performance, we could reduce the allowance if we keep hearing that kind of talk. We have been very generous with portions at the automatic canteen as well, that energy could be better allocated to the maintenance bots in the server farm.

Elon Musk is busy arguing to massively cut social security because it's fiscally unsustainable. He's also claimed that AI will create so much wealth that 'everyone can have a penthouse if they want'. These beliefs do not seem consistent, but the instinct to fight taxation is extremely consistent.
