Poll of the Day > Mark Zuckerberg calls for a universal basic income

Metro2 05/26/17 12:13:28 PM #1:	Zuckerberg for President? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJgNKXXhHe8 "Everyone should be paid a universal basic income, Mark Zuckerberg has said. The Facebook founder said that making sure everyone received basic pay would allow them to take more risks and try out new things, while knowing that they would still be able to afford the basic things they need to live. The idea of a universal basic income, or UBI, has become popular among technologists and people in Silicon Valley. It allows for more redistributive policies and will be important when automation takes their jobs, they say. Mr Zuckerberg suggested that the universal basic income would be part of a "new social contract for our generation". He made the recommendation during a Harvard speech that many said looked as if he was planning to become president. "We should have a society that measures progress not just by economic metrics like GDP, but by how many of us have a role we find meaningful," he said. "We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things." <cite>Metro2 posted [p:879849866] in Mark Zucke...

End all current welfare programs remove their administrative costs. Replace them with a single program tied to peoples tax returns paying them (as an example) half the difference of what the make and $30,000. Honestly, this is going to become a real big discussion over the next 50 or so years. We are approaching a post scarcity environment. Automation and robotics are increasing at an exponential rate, and unlike the past, job creation can't keep up. Wages are continuing to stagnate and/or decrease for the lower and middle class. 8 people control 17% of the worlds total wealth, and centralized banks hold around 40%.

The_Beta_Male 05/26/17 1:20:05 PM #32:	it's funny dude i just randomly thought of this idea myself some time in the last 10 months and now other people are realizing it, too. it would solve so many problems however, where everyone else and i differ is the part about "durr where would da money come from derrr." See, me, I wouldn't just stop at "basic income." I would go full-blown dictatorship. Let the government have total fucking power; let them have whatever they want without having to need fucking money to pay for it. Boom, no more taxes--because why? The gov doesn't need money anymore. Boom, no more poor people remaining poor because they no longer have to pay for stupid shit like taxes or work stupid jobs if they don't want to because they'll get a small, but live-able amount of money per month. This would then make those shitty jobs actually have to provide incentive for people to work there: like maybe ACTUAL live-able wages and/or decent work environments? The power would go back to the EMPLOYEES, not the employers. That's how it should be in the first place. This shit really should have already happened years ago, and I seriously do think the gov having total power would be great, not just for us poor folks who want free money, but for everyone. Sure, it'd be an adjustment process, but in time, it would all work out. especially if you go even further than that. another idea i had is, well, if the gov is in full control of everything and is gonna provide basic income...why stop there? how about the gov gets off their fucking asses and actually takes care of its fucking people. Basic income AND all basic human needs for free: I'm talking free food, water, ELECTRICITY, internet and possibly a cheap cell phone service--ALL FREE, every month. The food would prob be shitty government quality but it's still food. This would solve so many problems, dude, gosh damn. and you know what the best part would be? while the gov was making these crooked ass criminal companies like electric providers give away free shit, the CEOs and rich fucks at the top would be all butthurt and shit--BUT THEY LITERALLY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, LOL. Where's their fucking military? Exactly.

This would then make those shitty jobs actually have to provide incentive for people to work there: like maybe ACTUAL live-able wages and/or decent work environments? The power would go back to the EMPLOYEES, not the employers. That's how it should be in the first place. This shit really should have already happened years ago, and I seriously do think the gov having total power would be great, not just for us poor folks who want free money, but for everyone. Sure, it'd be an adjustment process, but in time, it would all work out. especially if you go even further than that. another idea i had is, well, if the gov is in full control of everything and is gonna provide basic income...why stop there? how about the gov gets off their fucking asses and actually takes care of its fucking people. Basic income AND all basic human needs for free: I'm talking free food, water, ELECTRICITY, internet and possibly a cheap cell phone service--ALL FREE, every month. The food would prob be shitty government quality but it's still food. This would solve so many problems, dude, gosh damn. and you know what the best part would be? while the gov was making these crooked ass criminal companies like electric providers give away free shit, the CEOs and rich fucks at the top would be all butthurt and shit--BUT THEY LITERALLY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, LOL. Where's their fucking military? Exactly. Deal with it you rich fuck you don't have a choice gosh damn that would be amazing</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
