Imports and immigration are just passing the burden of the shit jobs onto other undeserving populations capitalism still grinds away just out of sight.

automation is viable but when it’s implemented in a way that reduces manufacturing cost to increase shareholder value it fails to improve standard of living for those who don’t share in the value.

It really boils down to our reliance on private equity to support our open market economy. private equity’s goals don’t align with public good and ubi doesn’t make that go away

That won't be stopped. UBI does improve standard of living of everyone, and is a better policy than subsidizing/fighting for overpaid jobs for a select few.
