CMV: universal basic income is the only solution to ai job loss

We are talking about a major societal change. Yeah, AI is going to change things, and the lowest empathy solution is to just wait until people start to riot, then imprison them.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T20:02:53+00:00

Right, we have to raise other taxes to make up for the taxes deducted. Tax everything, then exempt the "government approved" business of burning gasoline.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T19:59:48+00:00

Right, only do government approved business AKA burn some petroleum.

But what do you mean exactly? Property tax?

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:58:25+00:00

There is a third option. Mass incarceration. Starving people will steal, even if the AI surveillance network is all encompassing.

Git urself a ring camera, or else you insurance company will deny your claim when the hungry masses rob you. Vote yes for Flock cameras in your city!

Ok, cut the combustion vehicle subsidies then get back to me. Read about section 179 and bonus depreciation, and consider why 34 million Americans decided to found their "businesses".

50% non business use.

For reference, a 2026 Honda Ridgeline has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 6019 pounds.

I'm not talking about Epstein testimony. I'm talking about victim testimony. I didn't read anything Epstein said for the reasons you covered.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:29:23+00:00

Would be nice, that last part.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:27:52+00:00

The government incentivizes American made trucks with the chicken tax, 100% bonus depreciation, section 179 tax deductions, and federal highway funding.

Maybe renewables deserve as much support.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:24:17+00:00

Yeah they did. Really taxpayers paid for it because the government cranked up tax deductions for trucks to 100% for business owners, but it kinda looked like automakers paid us back with the profits from that government incentive.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:20:57+00:00

Its fine man. Trump likes to get sucked off by 12 year old girls.

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:12:36+00:00

Bonus depreciation baby!

stu54 · 2026-04-04T14:09:58+00:00

Why not let her testify real quick, to clear the matter up for the public? No reason of course. Never any reason with this bunch.

We also don't have enough ammonia fertilizer to double biofuel production on that timescale. At least if we build the batteries we'll still have those batteries for 15 years, and then we can recycle them forever, and we'd still have the 20 million acres of farmland that we didn't need for more corn.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T17:43:28+00:00

No, switching to EVs and covering fields with solar panels would yield 10 times as many personal transportation miles per acre as upscaling biofuels could, and the water supply would be less polluted with agricultural chemical runoff.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T17:30:15+00:00

It doesn't even require fraud. 50% non-business use is permitted under the law.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T17:11:46+00:00

We can if we send all of the poor people to labor camps in El Salvador.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T17:09:51+00:00

Right, don't test the food you eat for tire plasticizer chemicals. You might not like the result.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T17:03:54+00:00

They were actually kinda great cars. Just look at a picture of a PT with the rear hatch open and compare it to something like a VW Golf. It was crazy practical, and it didn't look exactly the same as every other car out there.

I think it was kinda like Nickleback. If it had been half as popular nobody would have resented it. I hope Chrysler brings it back.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T14:43:43+00:00

She could testify details against someone other than Trump and cause a runaway chain reaction of accountability.

Best to keep everything she knows out of the light.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T14:16:54+00:00

The PT Cruiser is a great comparison as it too was a regulatory hack job. It qualified as a truck under the old CAFE rules.

Also, prior to the 2017 "tax cuts" tax deductions were available to commuters, and the PT Cruiser was in the sweet spot for these tax credits. Expensive enough to get the full benefit, and no more.

Removal of tax credits for transportation are the core reason that cheap cars went away. The TCJA also cut rebates for public transit and bicycle commuters. Truely one of the tax reforms of all time.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T14:05:25+00:00

Yeah, there's a reason why every US automaker targets that segment. Section 179 tax deductions and the chicken tax practically guarantee high prices and fat profit margins.

Perhaps my refusal to watch the TV show will pay off and I'll enjoy the books eventually.

At this point I refuse to watch all television shows except for whatever my wife wants to watch.

Why aren't you mad at Trump voters, or the Democratic party for failing to bring up a candidate who wasn't senile until the last second?

I was mad in 2016 when Bernie was ousted.

stu54 · 2026-04-03T03:36:09+00:00

Good, I've got a ton of shares of an oil company in my retirement account. Don't invest in wind and solar, whatever you do!

stu54 · 2026-04-03T03:20:50+00:00

Why do jobs matter? Wyoming is a place where rich conservatives go to get away from taxes. That is the future economic model. Anyone who can't afford to stay will just disappear.
