Tax the robot.If robots will soon do all of those jobs, without requiring pay or any kind of benefit package, what happens to the scores of unemployed people?
Tax the Robot. The money companies save by using robots instead of people should be seriously taxed. The tax-the-robot income should go directly into community-building, education, and environmental jobs.
lots of conjecture here. I think I would be a bigger fan of each individual nation trying to solve this problem and then us identifying which solutions are working best rather than preemptively creating a universal crypto currency that siphons off 10%… Yada yada yada something about eye scanning....yada, yada. But, having visited a chipotle recently I am a proponent of a robot making my burrito. The woman who made it tore my tortilla and then mended it with a piece of another tortilla, thereby making my burrito far too thick with tortilla. So to summarize, yay to robots making burritos and nay to a global preemptive solution involving far-fetched eye scanning men to document the non working and to give them some new form of crypto currency that is widely recognized across the globe... It's hard enough to describe how Bitcoin works to my cousin, you think when he loses his burrito making job, he's going to want some digital currency he's never heard of?
Great points, I'm in agreement with you. I think the first step towards basic income should be taken by our current governments - but it will take a dramatic re-thinking of social and financial economy and no institution has yet been able to commit to that. If we did successfully transition towards basic income then the next step might be to change the role of money because it might be easiest to just make food free (maybe other things too). I'm not sure what role crypto-currency will play but it will likely be in the mix to if we're going to fundamentally fix the global economy.
Interesting idea, but I don't think that would work. Every time they redistribute the 10%, the trade rate will just go down. Since everyone is getting a share of the 10%, even the rich are getting a share. On top of that, making those organizations to verify identities would be costly, and it has no funding source.
1000 DOGE says this is just another bitcoin fork with mostly the same problems. Also the "let's give away 10% of what's mined" feels like trying to paint over the same early adopters/hoarders-getting-filthy-rich problem. How about instead of this, we introduce a 20 hour work week? Aside: why is there a green (#50A420) background on that site if external domains are blocked? Looks awful
