We should tax every company the equivalent of all the workers' salaries (adjusted for modern cost of living) they automate out of a job and use the money to fund a UBI.
I can only imagine what the cost of food would be under your proposed plan if implemented for all technological advancements over the past 500 years.
One of the biggest benefits of automation for the masses is that things get cheaper and more widely available. By maintaining the status quo and keeping prices high QOL would stagnate or decline.
Seeing how the US handles healthcare and social security is all you need to know about the future of any said plans for UBI. It's a nice idea but the republicans are going to drain it dry the second they get majority.
I would also propose that any company where someone is making more than the cost of living is automatically garnished to the amount extraneous, again to contribute to UBI. Under this system republicans can't exist because there is no corporations with enough money to bribe politicians.
So you're saying no matter what anyone does for work they only make as much as it costs to survive? That is how I interpret "any company where someone is making more than the cost of living is automatically garnished to the amount extraneous"
So basically everyone gets paid the same no matter if they work or not. There's no incentive?
Just trying to understand the logic.
I include regular luxuries as part of the cost of living as they often factor into a well balanced life, e.g.: vacations, etc. But yeah. The incentive is being part of a system where everyone lives comfortably and can achieve the basic goals of modern life.
Do you not understand employment taxes that businesses pay for each employee? Lol wow ur fucking dumb.
