  • cant keep their House in order without 10 helpers or so …
  • cant wage labor
  • cant cook
  • still uses Boats like its the Bronce age … etc…

Just because I’m not a communist doesn’t mean I’m not in favor of eating the rich.

Political consciousness has eroded. The poor root for their capitalist billionaire oppressors. They no longer care to have the pride to fight for themselves.

You can have a capitalist economy without billionaires. It just requires a wealth tax and welfare state. Nothing wrong with small businesses and anti trust.

All that said, UBI is inevitable with the rise of automation, as the value of labour drops to zero. The only question is: will the labour class fight for their share of the pie, or will they roll over and just die of hunger.
