RE: Universal Basic Income.

in #discussion7 years ago (edited)

Jihadicrats support universal basic income, but typically not the less wild-eyed dhmikrats as you call them. I support $15 an hour for fast food workers because I know that about $14 an hour is the threshold for justification for return on investment of an automated fast food restaurant. I'm sick of cold food, incorrect orders, and sassy kids who take my order. An automated food prep and dispensing system will get your order correct, hot, and in half the time.

good point and I agree.
AI will eliminate make work.

Thank you for the reply and upvote! I spent my 45 year career developing automated production systems and in all that time never sent one worker into the unemployment line. Even when a system reduced the workforce from say 10 to 5 the five were found other work. No, they didn't like it, but then they still had a job and did not lose income. Many learned new and higher skills. I take that back. I do recall a one person who refused the new job he was given and exercised his right to walk out the door and never come back.
