In a country with universal basic income, each individual gets a regular check from the government. Wow! That's as stupid and evil as the stuff about russian 'orthodox' kkkristianity and imperialism.
A check from the government. And where do the government's funds come from?
While I largely agree with this list regarding government, I do agree about UBI.
So you agree with libertarian/anarchist anti-government views, but you still want yet another government scam? That doesn't seem to make much sense...
I think its naive to think that those whom own farms and the like will just give the fruits of their labour away.
It's naive to assume that any worker is going to give away the fruits of his labor unless threatened by government. That's why government uses lethal force to collect taxes, so they can fund a 'universal' 'basic' 'income', among other scams.
What is the common person to do, once McDonalds and Burger King have been fully automated?
I don't know and it's pretty much irrelevant. Actually, in a free market there would be no such stupid corporatist jokes like mcdonalds.
according to bls.gov (I never heard of them before, but .gov so whatever), they employ 520k jobs. How else would you propose to employ these people, who (including my unemployed ass at this point) are largely underemployed?
Of course it you start with government premises you'll arrive at government conclusions...
