Yeah. True. Humans would just be inefficient by that point. Let's hope for UBI.

Remind me where UBI money might come from? Tax dodging capitalists? Cutthroat politicians? Benevolent algorithms? I wouldn’t count on it.

I mean you have to start taxing them higher. It's inevitable. People would die if they don't.

You think politicians only operate for their own good right? Me too!

So think of it this way. When no one has a job, people will ask for money. The politicians that give the people UBI will be the ones getting the votes. So the politicians will make UBI for their own gain.

There are only so many loopholes. I'm sure if you tax something on each unit produced or something, it would go better.

What’s stopping companies from just moving to a country that doesn’t mandate UBI?
