Actually Canada is the closest it has ever come to getting UBI, as there are two bills (C-223 and S-233) being reviewed for it right now. It still is going to need a lot of support though, so head over to https://www.ubiworks.ca/guaranteed-livable-basic-income to sign the petition, learn more about these bills, and otherwise tell everyone you can, and we might have a chance!
True, if a person has been shot, you have to go after the person with the gun to prevent them from doing it again. But I'd also like the person who got shot to get immediate medical aid.
Lowering prices is only one possible outcome of competition though. So is lower product quality, and laying off workers. In general, cutting costs.
Have you ever heard of Technocracy? It was designed specifically to do this, to provide every citizen with the highest possible standard of living without the gross inefficiencies of money based economies, to take advantage of technological automation to increase production and reduce work needed without reducing the standard of living by breaking the tie between income and labor. And it's a pretty detailed idea too.
Is forced social interaction the answer to this though?
Well that helps, good job.
The problem is how widely is this one article going to be seen compared to the "dozens of op-eds"? Will it be picked up anywhere else?
Not from strangers anyway.
One of my favorites.
Seeing this post about the sale made me check out the Wikipedia article about the game, since I never knew anything about it either. After reading that I'm pretty much sold on it. For a few dollars it's worth a try.
Ooh, can we start the SCSI thing again?
