Basic Income

This is fine if we institute parent licensing. Mandatory sterilization at birth and then competency tests to procreate.

I see what your saying to an extent daywolf. Political parties exist to herd thoughts and ideas. In the US however, there is a debate whether these parties really exist like they do in parliamentary systems. Often wealthy people work with politicians from both parties and politicians have to worth with the other party to do anything as well.

What political party you are as a politician in America mostly has to do with "high visability" issues that fall on party lines. So a democrat is much more likely to vote to repeal the Bush tax cuts for example. This is because once the media actually does its job and tells us something important going on, you can't get away with just doing whatever the hell you want like on "low visability" issues (where the media doesn't report). A democrat against letting the Bush Tax cuts expire has to answer to a lot of democrat voters. Otherwise, he just has to answer to the party leadership. The party leadership will often give a lot of leeway. So you can support new spending as a republican or program cuts as a democrat.

Basically what this system lets politicans do, is do things like raise the debt for a stupid program that no one scrutinizes, so that some other guy can get his stupid program that no one scrutinizes. Because the media isn't going to talk about it.

Only when the media talks about things do we see the real divides that exist. And those real divides are often exploited by special interest. They get you to vote for a package with stuff in you don't like, and neither do the vast majority of Americans. Maybe you don't like big tax cuts for the "job creators," but you sure are fucking sick of abortion and gays getting married...just an example off the top of my head...

But make no mistake. These divides do exit. There are really people that just hate the idea that someone might get foodstamps if they don't absolutely need them to live. Likewise, there are people that believe wealth entrenchment is morally repugnant.

Automation is coming and its coming FAST. Unemployment is going to skyrocket. Basic income may or may not be a solution but SOMETHING is gonna have to give. Just think about how many jobs are going to disappear from self driving cars (and more importantly big trucks) alone? The fast food industry is well on its way to full automation too. At some point the very core of our society is going to have to radically change. Somehow I'm guessing things will have to get drastically worse and blood will have to be shed before things change significantly though. Human nature and all that.

18 wheeler's aren't getting automated anytime soon. I mean, I know it's coming but I wouldn't be worried as a driver. Shit goes wrong out on the road all the time and at least with what I haul (reefer) if something breaks down you need someone out there immediately or it begins to melt. Automation will happen but at least in the case of a lot of freight (probably not all) you will still have a rider who stays with the truck to maintain it.

The reason right-leaning people support this more often then you would think at a glance, is because they view it as a way of getting rid of bureaucracy and simplifying government into straight redistribution.
And it is simply a fact that there is going to be a problem eventually when humans are no longer needed for labor jobs (and even a lot of technical jobs).

But then you wouldn't have been here to make that stupid post.

Didn't they declassify Asperger's as a disorder/mental illness?

99% of posters (trolls, debaters, and arguers) fall under Asperger's.

So you are wrong I think since they recently removed Asperger's from the situation, trying to sell it as some kind of genetic difference (lol. imo its just another form of brain damage without proof that can demonstrate that this condition existed in the pre-industrial age)

Most neurodevelopmental disorders are brain damage as a result of industrialization. If you get full blown autism you either got a bad quality control vaccination with the wrong virus dna in it, or you have really bad genetics and/or your mother was too burdened from volatile organic chemicals (result of industrialization) and heavy metals.

Sidebar: Asperger's individuals are incredibly difficult to deal with when they make conscious antisocial choices. Give me 5 Tiggles trolling the piss out of me over this 1 person I have to deal with on a near regular basis at this point in my life.

There this kind of "mild" Asperger's that isn't even considered a disorder in most of Europe. It just a personality type that has narrow interests they know everything about and is not so smooth socially. Mostly they talk too much about their interest not enough about other peoples' during conversation.

There's has to be a ton of that on p99

Then there are the guys that scream if a girl touches their shoulder or clearly don't pick up on basic social ques...a lot more rare and obviously a real hindrance.

I really don't see what Tiggles has to do with either of these. He struck me as a typical fat guy, no accomplishments, low self-esteem, compensates by lording over people in MMOs. I've met literally hundreds. I was one until I got a job education and lost some weight.

I don't know the guy though. I was just playing around when TMO ran shit originally and read some of his posts.
