RE: What Happened to Compromise?

Oh Jeezus, melt downs would have happened everywhere! I think more power in the hands of the States is the way things will have to return to if want to keep our country intact.

I'm hearing from many people in the tech sector that with the coming age of AI/Robotics that we'll need to adopt a form of government that looks more like Communism since Capitalism relies on scarcity and the Age of AI will bring and era of extreme abundance. Some are forecasting a 20x increase in productivity and revenue.

However, I can't see companies sharing that abundance with the citizens without being forced to. The only way UBI/high-income-for-all will work is if those companies right from the start are forced to allocate a portion of their massive revenue increases from AI/Robots to the UBI-fund. Then the second challenge would be to figure out a way to protect it, to keep politicians from stealing from that fund, as they did with Social Security. We have lots of challenges to overcome in this next decade as we transition to this new economy. Not nearly enough thought and discussions are going into figuring it out. The time to do that would have been five years ago. I can't support any form of communism as long as people have to be in charge of it—corruption always creeps in.
