    So we are going to need about 7acres per family, no property taxes and a universal base income. How do we pay for infrastructure, guess youd have to tax wealth… Wait a minute…

    So, is he advocating for UBI…or is he planning on putting everyone out on the street and just letting the entire population starve to death? Based on his usual comments, it really doesn’t seem like he’s given the aftermath a lot of thought.

      He’s gunning for starve to death. He’s already tried to make sure tens of thousands of federal workers do it.

    That magical Christmasland future sounds great except for the glaring problem that in rich peoples’ view, it doesn’t involve any kind of UBI and everyone is buying the vegetables they aren’t growing with imaginary money that nobody has except them and the rest of the owner class…

    Uh huh

    I’m sure one day in the future this will happen.

    I’m also sure that we’re not even near that point in time

    I’m also sure that assholes like you will make sure that only a select few individuals, assholes like you, will be able to enjoy all the riches. The rest can rot and die. Right, Thiel?

    Fuck all of you

    It’s not even a good analogy. I HAVE to grow my own vegetables because I can’t afford to buy them from the grocery store.

    Working will never be optional as long as people need to make a living to … live.

    Workers will be optional. Unless we establish a system for people to enjoy life without working, people will suffer, if they survive.
