Discussion Essential NEET question: how do we pay for it?

[クーロ]

The one aspect of politics NEETs should follow is the idea of Universal Basic Income. Self explanatory but differs per country in accordance to their ability to fund it. So the question is how? How does a country provide a basic income to its citizens no questions asked? (This does not include unemployment or pensions welfare as they are conditional)

Andrew Yang, a former presidential candidate of the United States, proposed the following: large corporations such as Amazon, Google, and others rarely ever pay their taxes despite being multimillionaire companies who can very much afford it. Therefore, they should instead provide a small chunk of every sale back into a sovereign fund which is then used to provide a basic income of $1,000-2,000 to every US citizen from age 18 unconditionally. The argument for this is job security. As more and more job sectors become automated, it's become crucial for people to have some kind of income to keep them afloat as they keep up with the rapid growth of automation. Some countries have already experimented with this idea. Let's use the American state of Alaska as an example:
"The Alaska Permanent Fund (APF) is a constitutionally established permanent fund managed by a state-owned corporation, the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (APFC).[1] It was established in Alaska in 1976[2] by Article 9, Section 15 of the Alaska State Constitution[3] under Governor Jay Hammond and Attorney General Avrum Gross. From February 1976 until April 1980, the Department of Revenue Treasury Division managed the state's Permanent Fund assets, until, in 1980, the Alaska State Legislature created the APFC.[4]

As of 2019, the fund was worth approximately $64 billion that has been funded by oil and mining revenues and has paid out an average of approximately $1,600 annually per resident (adjusted to 2019 dollars).[5] The main use for the fund's revenue has been to pay out the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), which many authors portray as the only example of a basic income in practice."

Thirdworldcels will never experience this imagine living in a society so abundant they can even entertain the idea of a basic dividend

Thirdworldcels will never experience this

I was looking at the Philippines demographics the other day and had existential dread for thirdworldcels - only about 20% of the Philipines' population is older than 40. The rest 80% are "young people".

And what young people do, is
1. They don't need pensions
2. They don't need medicine, really
3. They break things

Their current president is 66 yo, the previous one was even older. That is going to change - dramatically.

If AI takes over as @Amadeus prophesizes, these people won't be pacified with video games and UBI. Rather, they would form international Vietkong (or Coronavirus 2.0 wipes them out, just as likely).

since you're still doing this schizo bit maybe you should come up with something more titillating than these reddit dreams of AI revolutions and swarthoid chimpouts that everyone has heard over thousands of times over the last 3 decades or so???

nothing is going to happen

proof that the best politicians have the worst marketing. I'm sure a generic rap song would encourage me to vote for Mr. Yang
