Would UBI be considered the ultimate form of entitlements, or is there something past UBI?
- _curious_ 7y agoIt's interesting to ponder what could be past UBI in terms of entitlements?
- PeterStuer 7y agoFeeling entitled to maintain a parasitic wealth siphoning system so destrctive to a society supposedly justified by a vague 'trickle down' pinky promise that eventually has sucked out so much that you can't but give away some crumbs to let the people literally survive because none were 'trickeling' down from your silver spooned buffets?
- PeterStuer 7y agoUBI is the Hail Mary of neoliberale market capitalism. Anything to keep the pointless consumption fueled 'growth' monster from keeling over. The 'ultmate' entitlements can be found in the 'private' sector, where 'institutions too big to fail' can keep gambling and reap enormous profits, and the moment the odds turn feel entitled to not ask but demand bailouts by the public they have been fleecing all along, where 'entrepreneurs' feel not just entitled but expect adoration when their planet destroying externality dumping schemes 'make a profit' or even just get to suck at the tit of the VC ponzi scheme.
