We absolutely can afford a UBI, and we do need it, regardless of any impacts AI ends up having.
The cost of UBI is its net cost, not its gross cost. If you get $15k and pay $7k higher taxes as part of the deal, that cost is $8k not $15k.
Try calculating the costs of not doing UBI. Include fascism.

My Sunday Times piece: The idea that we will need a universal basic income because of all the jobs that will be displaced by AI is gaining traction, but it is wrong on several counts:
We can’t afford a universal basic income — and don’t need it

We can’t afford a universal basic income — and don’t need it

We can’t afford a universal basic income — and don’t need it
If AI massacres jobs, the state will never find £1.5 trillion a year to keep us going. Targeted help would be far more sensible

Bad idea. ICE is pre-funded by the BBB. Also, CBP is just as bad if not worse and also pre-funded by the BBB. Severing ICE gives away any leverage we have to shut down the rest of DHS. We should be demanding to defund ICE/CBP of its BBB money and shut down ALL of DHS if they don’t agree.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I live in Portugal where on any given day between 85% and 90% of its electricity comes from renewable sources. It’s not a wealthy country, but it’s not owned by the oil companies. EVs are plentiful here. The world is leaving the United States behind in so many ways.

In other words, appeal to hatred.
It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

Remember when we thought access to knowledge was the problem.
Now we have the some total of human knowledge in our hands.

This is what Nicolás Maduro did in Venezuela. Nationalize voting, then clamp down on journalists and appoint only partisan judges. Becoming a dictator one step at a time. 🗽

Its the right wing playbook
1. keep people dumb, unable to think critically for themselves (because if they did, they'd realize the right wing ideology is for the masses to be de facto slaves to billionaires)
2. eliminate vaccines to keep them weak/sick

We have had fascist waves before. We let our guard down. If we learn one thing from Trumpism it is that at any given time 25% of the US population are fascists. They may hiding in plain site, but they are always scheming.
