Yes. We are all just lumps of clay, waiting to be molded into their perfect idea of a human.
The idea certainly puts ‘the new math’ further down on the list of sensible things that don’t work......
This person is a total dimwit.
I am waitin for Buffett to pay all his back Fed income taxes. That would certainly help the balance sheet.
Unfortunately, the dimwit is not alone!
Mr. DATA!!! Can you figure this Ferrangi Crap out????
We are in that awkward period.. too soon for guaranteed income and too late for full unemployment.
We are just on the far outskirts of full automation.
You will know it has arrived when you can make everything you need to exist right in your own home.
How many people would still accept it?
How would it change the electorate?

Wow! When it comes to economics, few are as clueless as Ellen.
This dollar changing hands is revenue to each recipient, not profit or income.
In practice, there will be a fair amount of leakage in these returns due to loopholes and deductions for costs. But any shortfall can be made up in other ways, including closing tax loopholes, taxing the $21 trillion or more hidden in offshore tax havens, or setting up a system of public banks that would collect interest that came back to the government.
Yeah, we need to give the corrupt Illinois politicians control of a public bank. Imagine all the money it will earn when it makes loans to political cronies.
We'll be able to run the state with no taxation of any kind. What could go wrong?
>> The policy of guaranteeing every citizen a universal basic income is gaining support around the world
The support is at 110%
That would effectively be the same thing as UBI, and yes more efficient tax system.
What this article seems to ignore is the importance of work....for one’s self-esteem as much as to earn a living.
“That’s so last century, Dude.”
You’re being a little too logical there, LOL.
Taxation is punitive. It ceased being about revenue a long time ago.
