UBI is needed for power redistribution more than wealth redistribution. Sure, one good reason is the employment displacement from robotics/ai. But a robot tax is far inferior to general income taxes. Beyond your examples, pipes and wires into your home are automation. Machines with human operators are automation as well.

Even if you were to only tax the robot users, what about those who get rich from building yachts for the robot users?

China has a big lead in robotics because nearly all manufacturing is done there. That is there massive competitive advantage in EVs as an example. As a national competitiveness, and consumer prices, measure, incentivizing people to go collect their water from a nearby river, and heating wood from nearby trees, and otherwise committing to full employment through less automated processes, is a massive decline in standard of living.

UBI does let you create your own job. Sales and design will always be needed, even if design is inputs into an AI prompt. Without the disempowerment of warmongering rulership, AI will serve the disinformation and murder needs of that rulership. UBI/freedom dividends funded by taxes on extreme income is the path to make the winners pay for human sustainability instead of human extermination.

They missed demoing it working with hockey stick guy harassing it.

I think the skills are pretty cool though.

There was a plank computer post here last couple of days. It showed an atomic sized computer performing one crack attempt every 10^-44 seconds would take a 95 character alphabet 100 years to crack a 121 character password.

Monkeys take up 1m^3. 10^105 bigger than a plank length. Typing 120wpm is 10^43 slower. Ignoring punctuation and spaces and capitalization, a 26 character alphabet allows for about 52 more characters than a 95 character alphabet.

Bottom line, monkeys can’t come anywhere close to being able to crack a 100 character password from a 26 character alphabet.

I came hoping the hotties would be free, and to download a car.

The US claim on TSMC, are based on it using ASML (Dutch) equipment which has patent licenses from US. I was just answering the puzzling US colonial power roots. There may come a point of challenging the colonial patent power, while still attempting to pay for the patent, or China’s “delete America” program may get more allies or rebellion from the colonies.

China/BRICS is a much bigger market than US, and economics means figuring out a way to earn from all sides is motivated. US promises to isolate itself even more under Trump, and there is a limit to how much it will be respected.

Another possibility is that the opposition parties unite to form the government - the largest one, the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP), won 148 seats up from 98 previously.

But that is a more unlikely scenario as Japan’s opposition parties historically have faced difficulty in uniting or convincing voters they are a viable option to govern.

Extremely strange conclusions. If they won the election there is no “convincing voters” step for parliamentary alliances. I don’t know if BBC is displaying outrageous favoritism, or if Japan is truly weird.

Both China and North America weaned themselves from coal mostly due to urban pollution concerns. India has the advantage of going straight to renewables instead of the intermediate NG route. One of the most successful EV promoting policies, that happens to be free, is cities restricting ICE license plates to certain days of the week.

EV models now cheaper than ICE vehicles even in the west is the best incentive of all. India foreign policy shifting towards closer tie to China and away from US is certain to accelerate Indian manufacturing sector/investment: https://asiatimes.com/2024/10/why-modis-shifting-away-from-us-toward-china/

“We need to have the firm support of our European partners, of our American partners,” Zourabichvili said.

Imagine if Trump said this after the election loss about Russian and Israeli partners?

Russian influence could have helped, but calling it propaganda is traitorous. Especially when embracing west’s warmongering demonism. It is possible to take a constructive opposition role that is in favour of expanding Georgia’s trade and liberalism without the ambition of turning it into another Ukraine. The nazi dynamics of Ukraine don’t exist to fake a liberal revolution, and CIA agencies have been kicked out of country.

US law permits US control over any company in the world that uses US technology.

that seems to be Israel’s SOP

this is not binary solo :P

Very substantive retort. It is only the people against war that have to be paid for it. The pro war demons are all in it for love.

Not at all. A monarchy is better than current oligarchy/hegemonic system. There is some sustainability aspect to it instead of pure corrupt evil. UBI is more important than democracy and ends up fixing democracy, because even in an idiocracy “I like money” is understood, and voting against theft/corruption becomes obvious no matter what zionist media tells you.

A king can appoint regulators. Even if he is greedy and enriched from country ownership, he doesn’t need to compromise people’s safety through bribes from oligarchy. Democracy for the oligarchy by the oligarchy is the problem. There’s only one way to fix it.

It’s not media: In International Relations circles nobody believed Russia would attack Ukraine even when they were doing it.

That is a complete joke. US provoked war with no other option for Russia. The US risks collapse if you can’t walk out whatever bubble made you say that absurdity.

UBI/freedom dividends is not discretionary. Sure the IRS has to apply rules to determine refund amounts, but they don’t get calls from politicians telling the to target someone with harassment.

Someone also has to be responsible for things like infrastructure and ensuring things like food is being inspected.

That is absolutely a useful government function that sane people would vote to keep. It’s the CIA/warmongering apparatus that Israel needs to control. The dog catchers don’t need a force for corruption behind their appointment.

So how do the people doing those things get chosen fairly if not by citizens voting for them?

Currently, you only vote for the most Israel loyal candidate you are told to, who then appoints those roles. The advantages of theoretical democracy can occur only after the systemic corruption forces are exterminated. Step 1 is being angry at how corrupt and evil governance is structured, instead of pretending its not.

I know the media you trust as honest has been telling you Ukraine has been winning all of this time, and you don’t think your wet dream is the slightest bit demonic, but there is no ambition to win. It’s just a ploy for high oil and weapons profits. The reality distortion has no effect on Russians. Just the foolish westoids who think their empire is helping them while being totally sustainable.

UBI/freedom dividends is real freedom for people, that disempowers state’s discretionary power. You stop either making the leaders responsible or seeking a new hero to save economy/society. With poverty eliminated, “heroes” that promise to cure it can be discarded. A zionist/warmongering/demonic empire with media cartel devoted to it loses its power to corrupt democracy by telling you which demonic alternative to vote for. An empire’s theft is directly cash taken away from everyone’s pocket equally, and so is a very hard sale. There is still opportunity for government programs that enhance society/economy but society should get a good return for those investments.

Democracy is good in theory. CIA/media distortion of it means it is worthless in practice. At least a monarchy, even if it makes the rulers as rich as our democratic systems, has national sustainability without outside corruption as an inherently valued goal to pass on to monarch’s heirs. Israel first rule in US, and CIA first rule every where else completely corrupts any theoretical value of democracy, and in fact makes corruption dead simple.

More demonic US empire BS, as they tried in Venezuela this year, and successfully did in Ukraine since 2014.

He claims Georgia is being controlled by a foreign “pseudo-elite” and that the opposition belongs to a “Global War Party” bent on dragging the country into conflict with Russia.

He is dead right, and no one in Georgia should want to become the next Ukraine. The sooner you realize that “democracy” only counts if it enslaves you to US empire, the sooner you can hope to be free.
