    So the rest of us get to starve because universal basic income is “communism”. There already isn’t enough work for the masses. A common tractor used for farming replaces hundreds of human laborers. Who is going to buy the crops if the people have no money? These rich assholes don’t think very well.

      There can be enough work. We can build parks, fund art, literature, music. If the needs of society are met with less labour, the free hours can be put to creative work.

      But that requires a government for the people.
