Y Combinator millionaire Sam Altman: How to achieve extreme success
Sam Altman

So, what do you desire to replace Capitalism with Sam? Perhaps we should just take your millions & all of your possessions, and put you out on the street with nothing.

Guy looks like he just crapped his pants. Our system has done a better job of feeding happy people than socialists who want equal suffering.

FR is filled with gullible people who prefer never to read more than a headline.

Sam Altman has stated that he loves capitalism. He thinks it can be improved upon.

There are plenty of us around here who consider the concept of a UBI to be somewhat compatible with free-market capitalism. Personally, I believe it is connected to intellectual property or, as I prefer to call it, artificial property.

Intellectual property predates America in British common law and is encoded into the Constitution as a power reserved to the federal government through laws written by Congress and treaties made by the president and ratified by congress. But this property borrows value from the people and their natural rights (e.g. the right to copy a method or device that embodies someone else’s innovation).

The people should be justly compensated for the “limited time” suspension of their natural rights. UBI could be tied to taxes on IP, levies, or even the GNP. For it to work, it cannot be means tested. The only test must be whether the recipient is a citizen and under the appropriate taxing authority. Perhaps residency should be a factor.

Altman is the newest KAPO among the Left, using capitalism to destroy it, just like Soros is doing now, and aided the Nazis during WW2.

Let’s just call Altman what he US, a traitor.

Any time I talk to one of these hypocrites the one and only question worth asking is “Have you shared all your money with everyone else”

They won’t until the government forces everyone to do it at once, or... something.
