i.e. it will expose how much our economy depends on them getting their money, and expose the real reason it exists.

People wonder what will happen when computers and AI take too many people’s jobs and one solution offered is to give everyone a “guaranteed” stipend to live, and then those that work will earn enough to buy more stuff than those on stipend only.

It sounds, to some, like a “win win” sort of thing and everybody would be happy.

Problem is, in a very real way, that is exactly where we are. That’s what welfare, snap, etc. are. Those people don’t seem very happy.

No way will Walmart and the dairy lobby allow this to happen, gotta have those EBT and WIC dollars flowing. Think of all the steaks and lobsters that’ll get thrown out!
