Many reasons to this and something has to change at some point. But just a couple of points is that if everyone receives it then nobody can be robbing the system as everyone is entitled to it. Another point that the HN crew should be well aware of is that we are going to see entire Industries worth of jobs disappear. Obviously other jobs will come but not at the rate they are going to decline and they will likely be more high skilled jobs than low one's. We are on the cusp of automated vehicles and when that comes to fruition all cab/taxi/bus/truck drivers will be without jobs. This will happen in many other areas as well and to not seriously prepare for this type of future is absolute lunacy. Not saying that BI is THE answer...but it, along with many other things, are definitely worth exploring further.

Yes, and if I do this: try: ... except Exception, e: return 200, "ok" then I've completely eliminated the problem of 500 Internal Server Error. Just because you redefine taking money you don't need from productive people as "entitled" doesn't make the problem go away.

> Obviously other jobs will come but not at the rate they are going to decline and they will likely be more high skilled jobs than low one's. I see this argument a lot lately, but it isn't clear to me why we should have any confidence in this type of speculation. Even if it this generally turns out to be true, what are the second-order effects of such a radical change to the job market? How will people adapt? What new opportunities will arise?
