these people couldnt tell you how much a loaf of bread costs, and yet theyre gonna decide how much we need to survive? no i dont see ANYTHING wrong with that plan at all
UBI in a country that couldn't provide universal healthcare? Seems believable
But they're the ones causing the layoffs lol
It's not a hedge against layoffs, it's a hedge against being painted the bad guys and having their taxes increased
You can't even pay rent with 1-2k per month! WTH🤬🤬
Yes, and they should be the ones to fund said income.
Musk will personally go to Mars before this could ever happen, and he is well aware he is never going to Mars.
Musk and other leaders don't care they are billionaires....
So let me get this straight. AI takes our jobs. AI companies use loopholes to not pay taxes (or increased power bills). We pay more taxes and higher power bills, and get a little bit back in UBI? Yeah, OK. 🙄
Average rent is almost $2000...........🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 unrealistic and out of touch.
Is musk and other billionaires going to live the same as everyone else.
Man, Andrew Yang told you about this and AI over 4 years ago....
How tf is anyone living on 2k a month?
A lie told to get people to stop throwing Molotov cocktails in their billionaire condos long enough for them to move everything to their "curl up in a ball and play the victim" bunkers
Oh you mean socialism? I didn’t see that plot twist coming 😂
Let AI pay for humans. Sounds good to me
No one will ever get any money from job loss due to ai. Still waiting on my doge check, check for health insurance. All lies told by the old liar.
Who’s gonna pay for it? The average person doesn’t wanna pay more taxes so someone else can live for free.
Yeah, remember when he offered to solve world hunger and then turned around and bought Twitter instead? This guy believes in nothing but money
How will it be funded?
