Hawaii in Support of a Possible Universal Basic Income Bill in the Coming Years

Hawaii in Support of a Possible Universal Basic Income Bill in the Coming Years

Hawaii is in favor of a universal basic income system. The news was first released in June when the first legislation regarding universal basic income had been passed. The bill in question is called HCR 89. The bill strives to promote and convene basic universal economic security as a whole in the state of Hawaii. This will be the first substantial step to creating a basic program for income in the United States. As a result of the new bill, those who receive basic income will now be able to use their fixed amount of money in any way […]

>> >>133009272 (OP)

Pretty sure it’s a bait, I’ll go for it nontheless. Note: I’m no scholar in economics as well as politics – it reflects my mere opinion.

There are 3 categories of goals humans can have:1) low effort, low reward2) high effort, high reward3) unrealistic effort, no rewardActivities that fall in category 1 are usually fast-paced things, underlying the law of diminished returns (eating fast food, 10 sex partners/week and so on). With increasing time they will lead to depression, because you recept the rewards as increasingly unsatisfying, ultimately culminating in self-destruction and utter unhappyness. Goals of category […]

Basic Income, Open Borders

In my utopia money is created as a basic income and collected as a single tax on land. The tax centers, as it were, the wheel of circulation by giving landowners a reason to produce something that consumers want to give them money for. There would be no sales tax and no tax on income, which only complicate the free exchange of goods, services and labor. Since every citizen has a guaranteed basic income, minimum wage laws and welfare payments could be abolished altogether. It’s often said that this utopia cuts across the division between left and right by […]

Mark Zuckerberg shouldn’t be president, but he should be listened to

Mark Zuckerberg shouldn’t be president, but he should be listened to

One thing must be emphasized at the outset: I’m not endorsing Mark Zuckerberg’s rumored presidential ambitions (putting me in at least partial agreement with one of my colleagues ). I would argue that Sen. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have much stronger cases for their potential 2020 presidential candidacies than either Zuckerberg or any other name floated by the political chattering class.

Yet when Zuckerberg came out in favor of a universal basic income in May, it was oddly uplifting. At first I assumed this was because I share his enthusiasm for the idea (I […]

“Universal Basic Income” Explored in Hawaiʻi

“Universal Basic Income” Explored in Hawaiʻi

A bill that that was passed in the Hawaiʻi legislature this session is among the first in the nation to explore the concept of universal basic income.

There’s been other places internationally that have experimented with the idea like Europe, Uganda and the Canadian province of Ontario, but the concept is fairly new in the US and is considered uncharted territory with the exception of a pilot program in Oakland, CA. Honolulu resident, Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire co-founder of eBay, is also providing the financial backing for a program in Kenya .

Universal Basic Income and the End of Poverty

"Rapid technological change has been destroying jobs at a greater rate than it is creating, but almost no one is aware."
-Andrew McAfee The robotization of jobs and the advance of artificial intelligence (AI) has alerted the societies of industrialized countries before the imminent disappearance of millions of jobs. However, in the peripheral countries, the political class, opinion makers, and lobbyists seem to ignore what Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution actually implies for our people.

It is understood as First Industrial Revolution to the period that goes from the mid-eighteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century. […]

How an expert believes robots could influence the future of Wales

An example of a robot which could potentially perform surgery For many decades there has been an assumption that globalisation is inevitable and unstoppable.

The world is going to continue to be more connected and products will have gone round the world before they reach the consumer.

The move to manufacture goods cheaply abroad, particularly in China, has had a devastating impact upon industrial communities in the UK and Wales has felt the sharp end of that trend.But there is a growing school of thought that globalisation in manufacturing, the trend of outsourcing production , may be coming to an end.The […]
