RE: It’s Time for Technology to Serve all Humankind with Unconditional Basic Income
I just posted this, so I know you didn't even read it, and yet here you are feeling it necessary to comment. I don't appreciate you posting your uninformed views as a comment on every single one of my posts without even reading them.
I actually did read it. It wasn't hard. You must read very slow.
I asked a simple question. How has it worked out when tried in the past.
You don't seem to want to answer that.
Ok..if you're afraid to discuss your post I won't pressure you.
You did not read something that took me one hour to record reading aloud in a matter of seconds.
And your question is a stupid question, because again, UBI isn't socialism or communism.
"From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs" does not describe UBI. Does it describe the Alaska dividend? How does a universal payment to all Alaskans rich or poor get perceived as "to each according to his needs" in your mind?
How does "from each according to his abilities" describe the funding component of the Alaska dividend that is not based on ability but on who owns natural resources and the idea of charging companies a fee for taking it out of the ground and selling it back to us after they process it?
By the way, you never answer any of my questions. Were Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek socialists or communists?
Answer the question.
nope...milton friedman and friedrich Hyaek were not socialists.
but I didn't mention socialist.
I merely asked how something that had been tried in the past had worked out.
odd thing...speaking out loud doesn't correlate to reading speed.
I find it amusing that you are so defensive...
even more amusing...I agree that there is a serious problem
i suspect that old ways of doing things will not fix a new, never seen before, problem
You seem to imply that UBI has been tried in the past. It has not. There have been successful if limited experiments. But a real UBI has never been implemented.
We all know what the phrase "from each according to his ability to each according to his need" is in reference to. I also have a functioning memory, and know your response over and over again to everything I've written has been the same general response.
Congrats. You're right. Friedman and Hayek were both capitalists who both supported UBI. Understand that and understand why, and UBI becomes a pretty common sense solution to the problem facing us presented by automation.
we need to become an economy based on need not want as we have in our consumerism economy we have now
one more thing.
(two actually)
I don't like your attitude...you're very rude...so this will be my last response.
I dont' see why you say 'matter of seconds' I had over five minutes to leisurely peruse your post.
I admit that I didn't' watch the videos..
Good. Bye.
