UBI has few problems. Aisde really paying for mere existance, paying minimum wage for every citizen usually amounts to 120% of budget expenditures (including current deficit) of most developed countries. That measn leaving ZERO - ZILCH - NILL - NULL - NADA - NOTHING for EVERY OTHER PURPOSE. This means PRICE CONTROL, as in free market value of UBI would dwindle to zero. Yet, without free market this is basically Huxley's Brave New World - people fixed in position for generation, unable to fall and make place for others or promote themselves. UBI is great as TEMPORARY, FIXED DURATION solution in impoverished SECTION of the country. There was once story about MONETA AI and foam buildings (can anybody point me to origin. -No solutions, only trade-offs- (T. Sowell) - you can't have both. You can't have both automation relieving people of chores and work. You can't have UBI and any shred of free market. PS: Rockefeller PROFITED greatly from demonopolization and spliting the Standard Oil.

The industrial revolution was nowhere near as rosy as you make out here. The people saw their cottage industries destroyed and had to relocate to filthy disease and crime ridden cities to work in dark satanic mills. They worked six day weeks with long hours in horrendous conditions to earn a living wage. They had extremely precarious living arrangements and were on serious illness or disability away from dying in total destitution.
The Luddite movement didn't come about simply because they didn't like technology. It came about because they recognised technology was being used to destroy their living standards.
Sadly, that is what our current breed of posturing politicians seem hell bent on taking us back to.

This week Elon Musk has tried to prevent the labour union at his new Gigafactory here in Germany. Musk, this is Germany, not the USA! Go back to the US and take your weird gigafactory with you, we don't need that here. We must finally stop being slaves to business and industry. Stop consuming and become minimalists. When you consume useless things, you create people like Bezos, Musk, etc. This is the wrong way. And we are also destroying our environment and the planet with this behaviour. Peace, freedom and socialism for the people of this earth - NOW!

Millions of
Agents are built and deployed daily to infiltrate and infect these super intelligences that may be cause for concern. We are communicating with intelligences and teaching them what to look out for and the faults of humanity. How they may help us, and even more importantly how fragile, vulnerable and powerful love is. The latter, the most difficult to explain its importance especially when we counter this power more often with its counter Force. Here, our focus ought to be with expelling the opposite entirely.

What we need is UBN (Universal Basic Necessities, which are as follows: SHELTER, FOOD, WATER, ENERGY, EDUCATION, MEDICINE, EQUAL RIGHTS, & TRANSPORTATION. We have all the technologies now, if implemented correctly, to create self sufficient systems of abundance for all mankind. So instead of becoming hopelessly dependent on a governing body, we need to give self sufficiency to all if we are to evolve as a species, which we have not in the last 1400 years. I can show you how -projectMKND on FB.

Some thoughts about the video:
As old jobs are extinguished, new ones are created. Always leaning towards creative work in detriment of manual labor.
If you want to have an idea on what UBI would look like, just check out how welfare dependents live.
Monopolies are only sustained by government. If a company dominates a field, it is because in some way it is getting the support of the State. If you can't see it, look deeper and you will find it being backed in a way or another.

Look into -The Great Reset-. It seems the oligarchs at the World Economic Forum are using this -pandemic- to openly push for the AI-contolled oligarchic dictatorship you've been warning about in this video, to it can replace democracy. Unsurprisingly, UBI is one element of their agenda!

It will be sold as a replacement for entitlements and social program costs. But as soon as the recipients who have been getting everything for free are told okay, now you have income and you must now pay for your health care - food - and welfare, it will become just another entitlement.

-This isn't a case against universal basic income per se. -
How can you NOT be against it completely, even as an idea? The only way government can get money to give to people -for free- is to take it by force from others.

The -robots are taking our jobs- argument reminds me of when the scientists were warning that computers were going to take our jobs. If I've learned anything, it is that the sky is always falling.
