  • Tangentially related, SSDI disability process does the same thing.

    A bazillion hoops with no hope of doing it all correct unless you have a lawyer. Each step of the process is prolonged with denials, extentions, hearings, appointments, reviews, etc.

    You can’t work during the process, so if they take long enough they can force your hand. Can you actually find some gainful activity? You better because you have bills and it’s year 3 now. Private disability insurance runs out after 2 years or so.

    Oh look, you happen to be able to do a job. Looks like you aren’t disabled. Denied.




















  • No, the automation technology gives them that power, ubi is a consequence of it. The more productivity per worker a company can achieve, the fewer employees they need.

    You really think as technology advances and companies implement more and more of it, that companies only end up with more leverage if the local government is doing UBI?

    UBI is welfare product that helps low bracket earners. If the tax code was functional it would be paid for by the corporations and 1% themselves and even so it’s still extremely helpful where it’s implemented.
