The automation revolution is knocking at the door and yet most elected officials seem content to just ignore it.

What could go wrong automated fruit picking drones? 🤔

UBI is an excuse to end basic services people depend upon (i.e. unemployment, food stamps). A UBI also causes inflation because it decouples federal payments from the cost of labor devaluing wages. Essentially, it gives Walmart an excuse to pay less. Go Fed Job Guarantee instead

In other news, food in the US, abundant as it may be, is becoming more flavor-free every day. Maybe we can just abandon factory-farming altogether and invent human kibble.

Exactly what the Democrats want... they want you to be dependent on the government so they can control you. Their policies, like raising minimum wage to $15 leads to people losing their job to automation. No thanks, I can take care of myself.... it's called self responsibility.

Insurrectionists won't get UBI, creating a severe underclass.

We would have had these years ago, if we paid agricultural workers a living wage. We compete with machines in the labor market. It’s cheaper to automate many industries, than to pay a living wage.

Is it even being discussed?? No..they can't even agree on stimulus checks..they want to kill of Americans

This will be here in this decade. So the sooner we plan now for what will happen to all these humans who will be out of work..better it will be for all.
