What? That's not basic income.
- thejteam 12y agoAnd that is the problem with discussing basic income. It is a term that is not well defined. It has never really been done anywhere so there is no reference implementation.
- Liesmith 12y agoIt's slavery. Well, indentured servitude, but that's just a slightly technical way to say slavery, like those pedophiles who call themselves ephebophiles like it makes a difference. It's still messed up and vile.
- bsenftner 12y agoSadly, listen to the elite GOP strategists, and they openly talk about financial instruments that are coded phrases meaning exactly indentured slavery. How's about the idea floated recently that students can have a discount on their university in exchange for a life percentage of their income? What happens when their career gets automated or outsourced? That "debt" has got to be repaid, right?
