I totally agree actually, and I think that having ownership over one's labor is extremely important. Without that self-determinism, people do not have the agency to define their lives, and their political actions become limited by their economic realities.

It is a likely outcome that the wealthy class offers the most meager basic income to avoid revolution but not much more than that.

I think we all need to talk about our leverage as a class of people who work for a living, and I'm not seeing nearly enough discussion about it. When Amodei talks about displacement of labor, he doesn't acknowledge how much trauma that economic displacement can cause and how many years that bell can ring.

I'm not really sure how this one ends. I'm afraid there will be violence, but I'm much more afraid that there won't be.
