RE: Mark Zuckerberg: Free Money for Everyone (A Mark Dice Roast!)
A universal income is kind of an inevitability in a future where automation has replaced most of our jobs. I'm usually not a fan of Zuck, but he does have a vision of the likely socioeconomic future. also this roast is really just another angry conservative yelling at a video without raising a real counterpoint.
Hi darkshadow - you will find that 'similar talk' of universal income would have taken place and ancient Greece and Rome, throughout the industrial Revolution, in England in the 19th Century, Russia in the 20th. The problem we have is that corporations are too big, having been inflated by government subsidies and protection and low interest rates. If corporate size (particularly the banks) and government intervention were limited and the printing of currency abolished there would be jobs for everyone, regardless of automation.
As for Mark Dice - he has plenty counterpoints but you need to watch re videos. So too does Paul Joseph Watson - he criticises European Immigration and does provide plenty of solutions for it - but the left won't listen.
Thanks for posting.

@sirknight Name one job that a highly sophisticated AI/Robot in the future won't be able to do better and faster than a human? Everyone from Construction workers to Programmers can and likely will be replaced by machines that don't need sleep or salaries. It's still hopefully a long way off, but it's not inconceivable.
Plumber, electrician, nurse, carpenter, massage therapist, doctor, prostitute, football coach, welder, teacher, psychologist, waiter, entertainer, musician, author, movie director, concreter and anything else that takes an ounce of creativity and human compassion or ingenuity. SK.
