Turns out labor costs go down when you don't have to pay anything to your employees. I'd rather pay a little more taxes and a little more for a kebab than live in a society that has slaves though.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean, because the only way to protect employees from that is with work contracts that specify every task you will do for the rest of your career.

It's not that simple, the workforce is always exploited, in any society we as humans have reached anyway. The question is what do they get in return. I count myself as a part of the work force, and if I'm payed enough to get booze, engage in frivolities, live comfortably, upgrade my electronics, it is gonna be a big loving leap to get me to physical violence.


And as to that, I advocate a perustulo, for the future more than the present.

Ligur got banned because he got humiliated and laughed at every time he posted in this thread, so he increasingly posted in shall we say, more behaved sections of the forums where they take things a bit more seriously while also being able to feed his addinction of being called a Nazi. It a was a vicious circle and banning was inevitable once he strayed out of this nihilistic shitposting safe space.

Shame really, the English-speaking retarded right-wing congregates more and more on their own forums where I constantly get banned or like Twitter or some other character-limit poo poo where it is impossible to make an argument. Economics is such a vague and dry subject with so many variables, it just doesn't have the same panache as dumping on a lunatic screaming about how Donald Trump is actually really smart :(

I haven't bothered to check myself, but rumour has it GBS has unironic Trump fans. Though venturing there to sate your mockery-lust might end up in a reverse-ligur where you get banned for pestering the locals.

Basic income is too expensive right now. But a similar concept. Some sort of system that gives you better incentives to work.

Ok? But we used no concrete numbers here, so you are posting this to make sure we know you don't support any leftist version of basic income, but rather a negative income tax, when they are the same thing with different branding. So, lol.

I am a fancy coder when I graduate, now I am a fancy intern (paid though) who should probably really get around writing that oppari :effort:

Basic income is the only realistic way for the world to adjust into increasing automation without the guillotines swinging. Manual labor will more or less dissappear in my lifetime, at least in first world countries, and every work will be highly paid and educated people directing and designing machines to do it for them.

Nah he fell off the deep end, when he started more or less ignoring every post directed at him where he wasn't called a Nazi. You could write a thesis on the increasing incoherence. Maps pretty well with the increasing incoherence of the wider right-wing/conservative/nationalist parts of the Anglosphere internet, really, so I guess there kind of are multiple theses written about it.

Yeah we didn't use concrete numbers but most of the proposals I've seen (500-600 euros per month) are both a) too expensive to be applied to the entire population and b) too low for some people. My preference right now would be something similar to income limits for student benefits being applied to all benefits, except without any hard caps (so benefits decline linearly with income instead of totally after a threshold). In the end almost any program to encourage participation has basic income-like features, but I don't think our economy can afford a basic income where we pay everyone a certain amount per month right now.

These can be automated eventually, 3d-printing entire houses is already feasible. There will still be jobs, but far fewer, just like today there's no need for ditch diggers the way there was in 1950s.

In Finland (as in many other places), the actual erection (which is what a 3D printer would be handling) is the most trivial part of making a house.
