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.
@yang @jlcrawf Automation very well may make at least some semblance of UBI necessary in the future. We should be aware of this fact.

We have been hearing this for years. But unemployment has been at record lows for most of President Trump's tenure. Even if you believe it will happen eventually (I don't), now is certainly not the time that it is needed.
