@kaniini@mastodon.dereferenced.org Clever gulag reference there, not buying it. Again, you're using one very shitty implementation as a prototypical example, as if I were to think of all Christendom by the example of, say, Robert Tilton or Benny Hinn. There's enough automation, or soon will be, that eliminating the cost requirement of most staple goods and simply paying those who contribute for their time above and beyond UBI should suffice.
