RE: Doug Casey and I Destroying Commies On Universal Income

in #money7 years ago

"This is fairly obvious to anyone who even has the most basic understanding of money, economics and human psychology."

Having said that, what is your suggestion for fixing the potential of mass-unemployment-leading-to-social-unrest that automation is already bringing in?

Is there a better option than printing some UBI (perhaps, somehow forcing the inflation on the elite, heh I can dream)?

I remain unconvinced.

Sort:  

Less monetary manipulation, crony protectionist regulation, taxation, trade restriction, and general economic intervention would be a good start. It's not that something must be done, but rather that too many misguided things are being done.

That would certainly be a great check-list...

I have no idea how we manage to get there though.

Stop trying to use politics as a solution. Withdraw consent from the system that operates entirely though coercion and plunder.

OK, let me rephrase: I have no idea how to get the average person (Kardashian watcher, Selfie-poster on Facebook) to even care, let along change anything in their life.

If you've tried "spreading the good word", you probably already know what I mean.
