Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

to buy the shit. Then you have this cycle where former worker spends his UBE on employer’s shit, employer pays taxes, taxes go to UBE, which then returns to employer. The former worker’s new purpose in life is to stay alive so he can buy shit from employer.

Universal Basic Income is a scam. Employers pay workers just enough not to die so they can keep coming to work to make shit for them. If the employer doesn’t need workers then less people have money to buy their shit. So they come up with a solution—pay people, with tax dollars,

@SchmittNYC Good

Here’s a 5.9M condo in Manhattan. It’ll be bought by someone Mamdani/Hochul claim isn’t paying their “fair share”. They’ll pay a $132,000 mansion tax at closing. And then pay $5200 a month in property taxes. Mamdani and Hochul will now add another tax to this bill.

@dickclucas Ken Griffin should be in prison so I don’t think people care that he’ll be taxed a little more

It’s disturbing watching a politician specifically name a private citizen that is targeted by a policy.

Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

No joke I think young thug got more sentimental lyrics than all of these

@timoryz @ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer Cf. New York City

@Republicus215 @ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer huh, have u been there recently? supply is low and house prices shot up since what, 2020? It's not so rosy there rn either

Wow, rent control, like everywhere ever tested in history... so successful...

@ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer So, you’re not saying the Vienna Model doesn’t work, you’re just saying that the rent control programs in the US haven’t and don’t work because we don’t execute them properly? I actually agree with you on that. Who knew the burner and gay businessman could get along after all.

No, you're trying to compare a swan with a duck. Vienna's housing policy operates via supply-side economics and the city functions as an actual owner-operator, they have a direct incentive to maintain the housing stock. The city actually encourages and builds new housing, has a stake in operations and reinvests revenue back into the system. They also have no cap on income, so even if a resident increases their income while living in subsidized housing, they get to stay - which leads to a broader diversity of residents. In the US, housing projects didn't work because they concentrated the poorest into one area which led to a quick degradation of the facilities. It's also a broadly accepted practice in Austrian culture. Cities like NYC - they're simply capping what private landlords can charge for rent, which encourages disinvestment and simply has not and does not work.

@ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer Caleb posted a negative — rent control has never worked anywhere it was tried. A negative can be disproved by any single example that it has worked, which is what I provided. If he said “all swans are white” a single example of a black swan disproves his entire claim.

@Republicus215 @sircalebhammer Look, it’s not my fault you’re an idiot that can’t back up their shitposts on social media. Unlike you I don’t hide behind a burner account.

@jo_schnitzel @unsafebl0ck @sircalebhammer Oh wow you’ve totally changed my perspective thanks for that

@Republicus215 @unsafebl0ck @sircalebhammer You’re a fucking retard bro LMFAO

@ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer Get back to work dumb dumb

@Floki_Vt @sircalebhammer Read the original post. We’re talking about a singular city in the US. There is no reason a US city could not implement the Vienna Model except a lack of political will.

Government owned and maintained housing with rent control/subsedies....pretty much the same thing. The issue is there are a LOT more important differences between the city of Vienna in Austria, in Europe than the whole of the US you want to apply it to than "Rent Control". Which again is very different than Viennas system.

@unsafebl0ck @sircalebhammer Vienna has government owned housing and rent control so the obvious conclusion is that rent control does work under certain circumstances which obviously invalidates Caleb’s proposition.

@Republicus215 @sircalebhammer What makes Vienna work isn’t rent control. How could you look at Vienna, in which housing is owned by the government, and take away what makes it work is rent control?

@Floki_Vt @sircalebhammer I don’t have the space to explain why that’s different and doesn’t work but I will just say I agree that projects aren’t a good solution.

@Republicus215 @sircalebhammer We had that...we called them Projects.

@ryanhsmyth @sircalebhammer I don’t have to imagine because I did it. Same way you don’t have to imagine having a gay ass professional headshot as your profile picture and arguing with a guy who has like 5 followers and a pig as his profile picture.

@Republicus215 @sircalebhammer Imagine telling Caleb he doesn’t know what he’s talking about and THEN comparing a city in Austria against the entire United States and thinking you have a valid argument.

@sircalebhammer If this truly isn’t a grift, then 1) you should stop speaking so confidently about things you don’t know about and 2) see Vienna model.

Already getting comments saying this is right wing grift lol. Every time. Yall, blue state like Massachusetts reversed rent control, blue cities in Minnesota reversed it, and purple Michigan BAN it. It’s literally just bad policy. Fuck ideology.

@viennoiscafe Put down the memes and pick up a book. Capital Vol. 1 has your “response to this type of meme”

Jusqu'à ce jour, les marxistes sont incapables de donner une réponse satisfaisante à ce genre de meme. C'est dire la nullité de leur pensée économique. La valeur n'est pas dans le bien ni dans l'effort fourni pour le produire. Elle est dans l'esprit de celui qui désire ce bien pour résoudre un besoin individuel. La valeur est donc subjective, marginale, contextuelle. Elle n'est pas objective, mesurable, mathématisable. Ainsi s'écrase lamentablement la théorie marxiste de la valeur travail et les théories classiques de la valeur objective. Si ces théories ont réussi à survivre jusqu'à aujourd'hui, c'est uniquement parce qu'elle donne une caution scientifique à l'interventionnisme étatique, rien d'autre.

@sylaq_art @LogKa11 The IRA did get a lot of guns from civilians in the US so 2A was helpful for them too

@LogKa11 I've never understood the logic of this, either. The IRA didn't need or demand a 2A from the British state to overthrow it. They just did it.

A lot of gun-owners are just cattle-brained creatures who larp as some sort of “rebels ready to take down the government”. If they were truly anti-government, they wouldn’t care about the government’s opinion on gun. Morally, these walking soyjaks would kill anyone they dislike, but they’re too pussy to pull the trigger without a government permission slip. Because they’re frightened of government cops, courts and prison . That’s why they always fantasize about home invasions and “castle doctrine” where they’d be able to get away with shooting people. Whenever cops DO approach these “anti-gov” larpers, they immediately give up and surrender.
