Good point... I can see this being UBI. The question is, who will pay for it, when most productive jobs are gone.

If all productive jobs were gone, everybody would starve. So, something will happen before that point. I don’t think anybody can know what that “something” is going to be, but in essence, it will be an event that changes people’s mindsets back to being willing to create value rather than extracting it from others. You shall not steal… until then tensions will rise and people will only get angrier…😪
How do you see it?

GM☕ Made this almost 3 years ago. I don't know if we progressed or not, but it's still worth fighting for. https://blossom.primal.net/a82b4dec8c845e315ccee6c1a74bf83ce181721677e3f1e286231b331b89fa...

No way back.
We will either succeed in fixing #money through #Bitcoin or we will fail and restart the broken money cycle.
In one case, we will be remembered as the people who changed the course of history.
In the other, we will just be another generation pushing our problems onto our kids.

Everyone’s talking about how AI will wipe out “computer jobs” in the private sector. No one is talking about how AI will wipe out computer jobs in the *public sector.* The vast majority of go...

If the job of a government bureaucrat was to provide value to taxpayers, you would be right and AI would finally be the technology to right-size governments.
I’m afraid that is not what their job actually is. Ultimately, everyone on the government payroll ensures the system keeps going as is—extracting value from everyone still actually creating value.
I have come to believe that government employees are already receiving a form of UBI, together with the implicit oath to keep the system going.

Take a look at this…

All of government is an evil blight. Even if AI could do it works more efficiently it would just be a more efficient evil blight.

Each time I hear someone talk about the Epstein files, I think to myself: 1. How could the world look any different if it was built on theft in money? 2. And who are you transferring your agency to ...

Looks like everyone gets 3 options:
1. Die as an enraged peasant with no agency
2. Become part of the control structure and hope it lasts long enough that the peasants come for your descendants and not for you
3. Opt out and #Bitcoin

One requires nothing.
One requires cynicism.
One requires balls.

#MMT leads directly to tyranny as it gives all power to centralized entities that can and therefore will get corrupted.
It’s that simple. It’s not a “modern” nor new idea. It’s just #theft. No exceptions. No sophisticated theories or pseudo science needed.
The moment someone prints money he steals. The moment he gets away with stealing he will steal more. This continues until the victims stand up or until there is nothing more left to steal. Historically this has always resulted in violence.
#Bitcoin is the first potentially peaceful way out.

Christine Largade #ECB:
1. Not democratically elected.
2. Only holding one mandate which is to ensure price stability in the Euro Zone.
3. Convicted of negligence for handing taxpayer money to some crony.

Now she tries to convince people that she has to save the EU from #climatechange
Smells like #socialism to me…

#Bitcoin is the only fix for this 🤡 🌍.
