With accelerating developments in technology and AI, capital efficiency and humanity will be increasingly at odds. We need to bring capitalism into the 21st century and make our own well-being the goals of the economy.

Just because you call it capitalism, does not make it capitalism. Be honest with people. You are a socialist, if not a full fledged communist.

@jlcrawf It's important to have dialog.
I'm not looking to abolish the free market, or take away people's rights to private property.
Value added tax and UBI are NOT socialist. It's human facing capitalism. FD means saving capitalist societies from themselves.

There are 250 million adults in the United States. Your plan is to steal (tax) $250 billion dollars a month from the free market (that's $2,500,000,000,000 a year), redistribute the stolen money across the population.
Prices on everything would skyrocket out of control. Just look at what government backed student loans did to college tuition. You would destroy the free market.
