Companies still have to compete for your dollars. If a business can sell their product at $5 and make a profit, then suddenly jacks their price up to $10, another company will just come along and sell it for $5 and put that other company out of business.

everything is already rising dramatically in price without UBI and stagnant wages. if it did after ubi, it would be a choice by capitalists who would jack up prices just based on that knowledge, which is why i also support rent control, using the international drug pricing index as the standard for pharma(yang), medicare for all, a $15/minimum wage, etc.
fyi dom no ones arguing the $1,000 would go to small businesses. i simply said small businesses would take in more money once the working class as a whole gets a significant raise, because uh-oh was trying to say a $15 minimum wage would hurt small businesses. |

I fundamentally disagree. I’m happy to hear your success story but I really don’t believe that’s how it goes for a lot of people, particularly those with kids or those who get sick or injured. And even if I’m wrong about that, there’s still the issue of AI being on the verge of replacing millions of people’s jobs quicker than new ones can be created.

Some industries need some degree of regulation. That’s true with or without UBI being a thing though. It wouldn’t be the case for most stuff just like it isn’t now.

My point was that it wouldn't be a thing because of UBI, as it already happens now in way more sectors than it should. Imo, some industries shouldn't be for profit. Specifically, ones that determine people's ability to live or die. |

another take that makes no sense but that other dude who was here like a week already touched on why that was ridiculous
also not at all worried about ai taking jobs in our lifetime to any degree of significance

bro its very simple
if the government cared more about americans dying from unaffordable healthcare than they did making sure the executives behind the healthcare industry extracted as much profit as possible out of it, we would have medicare for all thats why all other developed countries have universal health care shocker those countries have a higher quality of life than ours |

You don’t believe the stats/predictions from the (multiple, independent) studies, or you don’t believe the numbers they are predicting (20 million+) are an issue?

Why are you worried about us though? We can't even name the president of Australia.

But that’s hardly surprising. We’ve had 5 different ones in 10 years. Our system is broken. The US is a world superpower. Who you elect as president should be of concern to everyone. Also, I find it particularly interesting at this stage of the game when there’s a lot of different ideas being debated.

How do Australians feel about America in general? Are they talking about the Iran situation?

Opinions about America in general that are widely held here would include: - We love your movies and tv shows - you’re way more religious than us, generally - your gun laws/gun culture are very unpopular here - a first world country with no universal healthcare system is crazy to us Maybe not an opinion that’s widely held but one I think is true: your country is more socially stratified than ours among a number of lines. Your poor people are poorer than our poor people, your rich people are richer. You’ve got a lot of the top minds in the world but also a significant number of people who are dumb as fucking rocks. I think we have less people at the extremes. The differences between your left and right wing major parties are a lot more extreme than ours.
