Gregory's Server- I'm not sure that giving $500 a week to the the exploiters is going to be enough to increase their already out of control exploitation.
- Their exploitation depends on the exploited being trapped, and $500 a week appears to directly help with that
- At larger scales, we are already giving trillions to the exploiters so... yup. If you give them parasites enough money they'll kill the host, so we need to stop doing that too.
- I share your concerns with is why I think UBS is a better bet than UBI - which locks profiteering into our distribution systems - although the solution is multiple parallel experiments rather than one nostradamus-like proclamation from me.
The mistake we made with The New Deal is that we let capitalists keep control. It's been a 40 year coup.
