I would just like to point out that Johnny 5 is a sex worker now because his position has been occupied by more human like robots so he can only make money in dehumanization.



He works at the Armory, a bondage studio out of San Francisco.

UBI is a worthless idea since it props up capitalism in the dumbest way possible. Markets would exploit it in the name of fairness and efficiency while politicians would gut it in the name of shared sacrifice and belt-tightening.

At least modern European-style welfare states take from one hand and return to the other. Everyone benefits, though the system is rigged to benefit those less well off at the expense of those more well off. Giving straight cash to everyone (or worse, giving cash only to those not making enough) leads to a system where that cash becomes utterly useless unless the underlying structural issues of capitalism are addressed.

There is a reason why Libertarians loved UBI in the '70s. So-called "socialists" in the modern era catching up with '70s libertarians is a symptom of regression, not progress.
