“Let me just say this about the issue of advancing technology, displacement of workers, and what we’re going to do about it,” Ellison said.
“I personally do think that universal basic income is an idea that has a lot of merit,” he said. “There are some pilot programs going on right now in the United States. Stockton, California is working with a program and there’s some different ways to work with it.
“As people are displaced, the truth is there’s still plenty of stuff for people to do,” Ellison continued. “I don’t think that universal basic income means people sit around. I think it means doing other things that are necessary.”
Ellison thinks people will volunteer to work in schools, document history, and contribute to other worthy causes if the government pays their way.
“There are things that are valuable and important that don’t necessarily have a ‘market value,’ that we should have people doing,” Ellison said. “Like in the 1930s, we paid artists to basically document the depression. We went out and had … writers document rural life in America. There were people who had been in slavery who were still living. During the depression, we paid people to go interview them so we could keep that knowledge and you can go to the Library of Congress and listen to them today because of this.”

"Document History"? We've already tried that and the hoodlums demanded that the statues be taken down.
ReplyDeleteYeah and California is also implementing the UN Agenda 21 crap, and soon, and I promise you this, if the guy and that one woman fighting it doesn't win, California will soon have pay per mile you drive... And let me tell you, the cost per mile is more than what gas cost per gallon... And there will be no way around it, with all of the cameras they have installed and will install, and they will have GPS tracking in your cars so they can track you to make sure you pay what you owe!!!! and here you all thought new technology is awesome, and will make your life easier...
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that you clowns can never see what evil can do with the good we create????? Why do you forget that or put a blind eye to it??? Thinking it will never affect you, until it does!!!! Then us conspiracy theorist who will be proven right, yet again, and then it will be to late to fight it or stop it... But maybe that is how you like it, maybe that is how you like life, your life to be exact... Always not giving a damn until it affects you and by the time it does there is nothing anyone can do... Why??? Why do you love that so much, love for it to happen??? Why???

ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect definition of fascism. Just as the antifa, which is a wing of the democrat party (which also included the KKK), is fascist.
ReplyDeleteAnd here it comes, from Top Muslim Democrat in Minnesota, what a surprise?! I said it before and I say it again, this snake is a homegrown Communist and Obama's best buddy. When those Democ-Rats talk about "Change and Transformation"" this is the result. Total Communist Control over people's lives - thats their goal.
