This is why a ubi is so essential when society evolves to a post scarcity state.
I'd recommend reading The Dispossessed by Ursula LeGuin if you're interested in an in-depth depiction of how an egalitarian stateless society could function without money.
Thank you for the rec I’ll check it out!
Yup but that would require the true ruling class to see their blood spilled to get it. Progressive people have tried and continue to try to push UBI throughout the world. In Canada alone we have had recent experiences both on the Federal and Provincial level. They intentionally get hamstrung or directly shut down to poison any potential results.
The longer we go without UBI the worse it's going to get. Christ look at youth unemployment globally let alone the general struggles youth are dealing with that didn't exist even 20 years ago. We need UBI yesterday but we are still struggling to get people to even entertain the concept of it.
UBI? You mean Unstoppable Bot Invasion?
🤣😆🤣🤣😆😂😂
We should push for a UBMI
