You liked one of my posts, and so I gave your stuff a visit.
I'm glad I did because I feel we have some things in common.
I too have drives full of un-edited footage and content that I take every chance I can to fit into my less-than-optimal "genre" of video content which is software/technology videos lol.
Anyways, glad to find you.
Yeah, my ADHD go whirrrrrrrr. I always spread myself too thin and cause myself to never get much done. I'm trying very hard to correct that, but I'm just not sure I will.
Man I'm in the same boat.
I'll have everything ready and feel determined to work on something, and then it's like I can't do it. "Ill do it after this, after that." and then it never gets done it seems like.
It's a habit I really hope to break.
Not sure if you heard, but today a major bank in the USA is failing. One I've never heard of called Silicon Valley Bank, but apparently it's one of the top 20 banks in the country.
Politicians are already calling for bailing them out if another bank doesn't step in before Monday. Scary times man.
I don't pay attention to the "news", but my wife does. She was telling us about it.
Scary times indeed. I wish we would just ignore the leaches that think they rule us and just do the right things. Sadly, there is no historical precedent that could ever happen.
Yeah, it's because they need us more than we need them usually.
Oh, I'm quite sure that's true!
Remember that guy Andrew Yang? He would always say we need Universal Basic Income because so many jobs were going to be lost to automation!
He said truck drivers should start learning how to code because those jobs would be going away.
Turns out, when it comes to automation, jobs like coding that are displaced first.
Who could have foreseen that it's a whole lot easier to automate something digital vs. something physical :)
I've heard so many people say how brilliant he is.
Anyone who is suggesting we pay everyone not to work(including those who do work) is obviously not a genius.
The idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is often criticized as being coercive and antithetical to individual liberty. The idea of a UBI involves taking money from some individuals through taxation or other means, and redistributing it to others as a form of guaranteed income. This type of wealth redistribution is seen by many voluntaryists as a violation of property rights, as it involves the use of force to take from some individuals and give to others without their consent.
With that said, the specific argument against UBI in this context is that it fails to address the real issue at hand. The displacement of jobs due to automation is a legitimate concern, but the solution is not to simply pay people not to work. Instead, the focus should be on creating an environment that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship, which can lead to new jobs and economic growth. Additionally, individuals should have the freedom to adapt and retrain for new job opportunities as they arise, without being coerced into a particular path or relying on government handouts.
In regards to Andrew Yang's specific comment about truck drivers learning to code, it is true that many jobs that were thought to be safe from automation are now at risk. However, the solution is not to simply encourage people to move into other industries without addressing the root cause of job displacement. Rather, voluntaryists would argue for a free market approach that allows individuals to pursue their own interests and innovate, while respecting the property rights of others and minimizing the use of coercion and force.
