What are Trump's thoughts on universal basic income?

bump.

Commie bullshit.

Same problems as raising the minimum wage?

bump again.

bump the third.

Redpill me on why its bad, when machines take over and that will be very soon how does half world population is supposed to survive?

pumb

Who fixes the computers, cooks the food, and makes sure people just don't steal shit?

>how does half world population is supposed to survive?
By earning their money. If they can't, that's their problem, it doesn't give them the right to steal.

So you are saying human kind should go extinct or only few who are left to control the machines should survive? Sounds like the rich would steal our lives from us instead in that case.

people who aren't content with being barely above poor? People who go into fields specifically to make a lot of money, or because they actually enjoy it?

there's actually a $30,000 robot that cooks and assembles the food. All you need is someone to reload the hoppers and hand the bag to the customer. A store can be operated with 3 people instead of 8.

If we eliminated all of the existing government benefits programs and all the government employees they require and divided the amount of money that goes into it by every legal US citizen, it probably could be a livable wage.

>hand the bag to the customer
You don't really even need that. Sure, you might want at least one human present at any given time just to make sure the place doesn't get robbed. Also cleaning.

I could swear I read a comment Trump made about it somewhere, but I just can't find it.

It goes against everything he's ever stood for. If you want that kind of commie bullshit, go to North Korea.

Machines taking over everything is a fantasy. But even if they did take over literally every single mandatory function there would still be a bunch of creative tasks and hand made goods that could be produced to earn a living. You're already seeing this kind of shift toward boutique brands to compete with mass produced goods.

This. Not a half but more like almost all. Either rich should simply give the money to poor (because there's no more labour they need from them) or make machines' labour free or the population simply goes extinct.

Capitalism doesn't need more working places, it's irrational, it needs as least as possible.

Nah people will just need to get more creative with how they earn a living. Even if your job is just to perform maintenance or transport various machines there's still a ton of industries we haven't even imagined. Redistributing wealth just gums up this process.

You should realize that to make it work we need precisely this bunch of owners of machines to buy that creative labour. Not someone else but them since it's them who own machine's labour.

Even if this happens paying for that much of creative labour by that little number of people can be called nothing but charity.

You want people to have money for nothing? Then you pay them.

I'm fine with working as I never been unemployed in my whole life. But if some piece of metal takes my job and all the other jobs are taken by the same thing... Yes I would be pretty pissed and expect the rich to pay me for my living because it was their fault in the first place that caused the problem.

If the rich doesn't pay and the situation gets worse I wonder would we throw our selves back to the dark ages because of massive world wide riots or the rich would give up first.

It's not. All these morons on Sup Forums unironically believing in
>MUH FREE MARKET TAKES CARE OF ERRYTHING
are just laughably ignorant on the driving force on how our current system incentives inevitably create massive corruption and unstable inequality.

Just think of it like this. When we have the technology to travel and colonize the stars, will people still have to work for paychecks just to earn enough money to survive when the scarcity problem has been solved?

No. We have the technology to provide for everyone on the planet and then some, but the current problem is is culturally reprogramming and doing away with the way we view the world, and the problem of implementing them on cultural savages like the niggers.

...

why cant we deal with these problems when they actually occur?

>yeah see, robots will do everything for us.
>i mean sometime later, ok. not now but reallllllllllly soon.
>so we better just institute communism. yup, only way to handle the robots that will be here any day now.

honestly i dont mind the commie shilling, it keeps a man on his toes. its just that its so fucking obvious im bored with it

Wrong. Scarcity will always exist, in our most coveted resource - human capital. We compete for the chance to pick a mate, and we compete for standard of living in the job market. As long as women are programmed to choose based on material wealth, you will have a human species that competes as such. You can never change this.

Eliminate excess governmental bureaucracy in order to create conditions where business can flourish thereby increasing demand for workers.

>According to google there are 324,707,000 US citizens.
>As of Janurary 2014, the US federal government alone spends $668 billion dollars per year on 126 different welfare programs
>That's $171.43 per citizen each month.

hey dipshit if you would do something besides flip burgers you wouldn't care about (((universal))) income.

Still costs 5 trillion a year we don't have?

Automation will turn everyone useless. And at the same time it will provide everything.

It could very well be the next step in evolution, artificial "life".

Expect it to be attacked by globalists more than Trump was.

Equating human sexual market to actual resource market lol. Competition in one way or another will always exist yes, but the scarcity of resource for human well being and needs won't exist as technology advances. Equating competition with scarcity lol. Sup Forumstardry at its finest. Go read some books kiddo.

You're a fucking moron. There are always going to be markets for high quality 'hand made' and niche 'home made' or 'custom' goods and that market is not entirely made up of wealthy people.

If no one did minimum wage jobs who would then? Smart ass, and there is a limit to how many doctors and lawyers we need.

And can you explain exactly why the same people who experiment on human children are going to just give you everything for free?

Universal basic income == "why didn't my gender studies degree make me rich?"

Basically,
>Get fucked socialist piece of shit pipe dream bribe

Trying to explain pyramid structure to neoliberals is like trying to sell vegetables to a pack of wolves. It's just not meant for their kind.

1984 nailed it:
>Society has always been divided into thee groups:
>the high, the middle, and the low.
>The high want to stay in power forever,
>the middle want to overthrow the high,
>and the low wish for everyone to be equal.

These people aren't even proles; they're dole bludgers trying to set themselves up as the inner party. History will remember them only as an example of what happens when western civilization's defense mechanisms are activated at max power.

And what happens when middle and low are both replaced?

I'm all for it. We'll fight about it when we've closed the borders and have robots making everything. Probably taking a lot of Trump voters jobs and then they'll change their tune.

Alright, come back when hans decide to give up their excess material so that someone else can experience equality. Come talk to me when your idea of material equality in spite of ability comes to fruition. Let me know when human nature stops driving our behavior.

This is my favorite comic.

>Get a job

just give me a place to live, internet, and $500 a month

Assuming that the labor problem starts to become a real issue and you will go homeless if you don't get a job.

Women will face real competition from men and go back to the kitchen. Minorities will also start to get pushed out because the majority will start to collude to push them out.

Men like to be lazy but if push comes to shove they will be happy to dominate the work force. One of the reason why the Democrats are so fucking afraid of white men and actively seek to destroy everything about them is that they would be destroyed if they ever woke up.

Assuming it would replace the existing systems like welfare, social security, food stamps etc., I think he would be in favour as long as it's cheaper.

The US already has extensive social security nets which are proving to be massively ineffective or at least inefficient. I'm in favour of the idea as a replacement, assuming it costs less than current entitlements, because its so simple and thus difficult to abuse. I've heard that in some states a single mother can make $65k in various gov't benefits, which only provides financial incentive to being a single mother. In a basic-income system, you're only paid based on what you don't make, and I feel that would encourage personal responsibility and there would be fewer welfare degenerates.
