Chef Jim Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I believe action speak louder than words Awesome. Then let's try a little experiment. I'll buy lunch in my neck of the woods. Afterwords you go around to the 'hood and hand out $100 bills to the black people and say "here have a !@#$ bill" and will see what speaks louder. I'd gladly pick up lunch and give you the $100 bills for this. It would be so worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Well you could put a good portion of those people in government jobs having them figure out what the right COL is in each part of the country and administering the program. A new giant gov't arm for a new system to game. Then you could also have a subsidized program to re-train the displaced to maintain the robotics and diagnose/maintain the AI. But then again, if all those people are either employed by the government to administer the new program or trained to work within the new technology, then the program would cease to be necessary. I'm only being half snarky here. I understand the potential need for UBI, but I also see that it will create a whole new cottage industry of making, administering, and collecting handouts. I see the risks. And I don't really have any good answers in how you would counter those risks. Hell, I don't really even have a developed way in how it would actually look like. The only thing that I do recognize is that some sort of variant of a UBI could potentially be a solution to what I believe is an inevitability, which is a looming jobs crisis.

grinreaper Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I saw something that ranked 123 cities. #61 was Grand Rapids and #62 was Plano so forget all the Memphis stuff. That was listed somewhere else as the cheapest place to live....and I just picked it randomly. Let's go with Grand Rapids or Plano. Besides, with all the newcomers Memphis might have tipped over into the mighty Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I don't see how adopting a UBI won't have a negative impact in a free market economy. Also, I can't address the issue of AI displacing jobs since I have no background or experience with it, but I'm getting pretty sick of all the doom and gloom regarding automation and tech putting people out of work. It will ultimately create the need for skilled employees, who will earn higher wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone would go there. With $10M each people could go anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
