Good thing we still haven't figured out UBI and are actively eliminating pesky safety nets like medicare and medicaid 🥳 are we great again or does that only come once we hit 30% homelessness
And even at 30% homelessness it will be against the rules to advocate violence against the ruling class.
Hopefully when enough people get desperate we can seize the means of production, institute UBI, socialized healthcare for all, 20 hour workweeks, and who knows what else.
Unironically.
For every job lost to AI, companies should be taxed and that tax should go to UBI. But I’m sure this will never happen and we’re just going to have an all out, bloody class war in five years, which I’m ok with.
Oh oh! Can we call them "Trump Towns" instead of "Hoover Villes" this time?
