    I’m willing to work 4x 7 hour days. If you think about the last 30 years of computer enhancing productivity, we’re owed a lot!

      Oh that note, looking back, Andrew Yang might have been the best choice for a nominy in 2020.

      Imagine if chatGPT came out and then the president of US, who fully understands the enshitification and rug pull model of Silicon Valley just slapped a huge VAT tax on it, or maybe forced companies to charge the real price.

      Man Biden was such a bad choice in 2020

      Copy paste from another reply to a comment:

      Even when the progressives mention ubi it ALWAYS comes at the cost of removing all other social services like health care, low income housing, food stamps, social security. So imagine recieveing up to 5000+ dollars a month in benefits being taken away from you because the dumb majority is excited to get their 600-800 dollar a month bribe so that they can go yolo it all on ai driven polymarket.

      We need more social welfare not less. Trump already is gutting social welfare services to pump that money into ai.

      The homeless don’t even get benifits now due to work requirements, and they can’t get a job because they don’t have a home. And RFK is talking about putting them in camps.

      UBI without price control is useless. Rent is just going to go up by that amount and same for utilities, food, etc.
