I was talking about supporters of AI, not supporters of UBI. The likes of elon musk, peter thiel, jeff bezos, etc - the billionaires. They are dismantling social programs and deploying exploitative business models. And, I think it was amazon that used AI for layoffs with zero human involvement.

When you trace the causal thread far enough, it comes down to capitalism. AI has lots of great potential uses, but, sadly, short-term profits are the name of the game.
It also doesn't help that the biggest AI advocates (the ones that have actual power) are also opponents of social programs and UBI.

I think it would require third places ("hangout spots") that are easily accessible and let all kinds of people mix, which is an urban planning thing, as well as the ideas you mentioned.

Might be grounds for a military operation.
Tho, if that sociopath bukele knows the expenses of the operation, then he can just slightly undercut them and whatever capitalist is in charge at that moment will just take the "good deal".
If that happens, it will be a sign that USA has learned nothing.

Realistically, these suits are the ones that control the AI replacement, and they sure won't rush to replace themselves...
in other words, competition for thee but not for me.
oh and these folks typically are also opposed to UBI, because they'll have to actually compete for once...

ICE is a gang.
It is now morally good to shoot badgeless, uniformless supposed ICE agents with covered faces during their kidna-- I mean, "apprehensions".
...honestly, all ICE field agents in general. Start using that goddamn second amendment to actually resist tyranny ffs

Has there been an experiment that's sufficiently large over area and time, to notice any directions of cultural shifts, rather than people feeling better as an immediate consequence of lifted financial burdens and social pressures? I expect that such a trial would require 30+ years, ballpark...

It's a misunderstanding of ecology and evolution, but the conclusion is largely correct, just for different reasons.

Isn't it great to live after the time when getting a job was as easy as walking into an office, before time when UBI is a thing and right on time to be in the limbo when all jobs are being automated and humans need not apply, but you're constantly gaslit about not having a job?
fun times.

Second amendment is not about self-defense or defending against a tyrannical government. It's about boosting egos and murdering children.

If we take reality into account, you're probably not. There's no hate like christian love, after all.
But yeah, if we stick with mere principles, this is likely very common.

Actually, correction
Palantir is using corporate data tracking (those apps that ask for your location, for example) to help ICE track people they've chosen to deport.
who would have thought that the most evil human's (peter thiel) company would turn out to be engaged in the most evil activities...

He might not be the only one, but they will be few and far between. A separate list of "the not quite as despicable ones" should also be made.

I don't know the details, I think he's one of the few billionaires that got lucky, instead of being born as such, and has actually used a significant amount of money to actually help people. But, as I said - no billionaire is completely off limits until democracy works again.

Make a list of net worths and work your way down from the top.
...Bill Gates has donated 90+% to humanitarian goals, AFAIK, so he should get sent to the back of the line when his turn is up. Keep going until democracy is functional again.
No billionaire is exempt, but don't become an animal.

Can we make this happen, please?
Come on, yanks - you've talked all the talk about how you need the second amendment to resist a tyrannical government - now it's time to walk the walk.
Don't worry - investigative agencies are crippled, so organizing it is actually possible now.

From a European perspective, I think the deal in the image sounds reasonable.
Or we can stop pretending that their second amendment was anything besides making their dicks feel bigger.
