Zuckerberg's Minimum Basic Income idea is interesting!

If it is financed through TAXATION... you would probably be correct......
but I am proposing that it is financed through the Bank of Canada here in Canada that is owned by all thirty seven million Canadians............
so it is financed by a significant INCREASE IN PRODUCTIVITY!

There is a poster on this forum who put forward ideas a few years ago that if true......
would mean that President Trump could use the Federal Reserve to do something similar in the USA ..... IF THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAVE ACTUALLY AGREED TO DO WHAT THIS POSTER WROTE???????



Who Actually Owns the Fed and Why That Must End

IF DAD2THREE IS CORRECT.... THEN FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES YOU AMERICANS ARE IN ESSENTIALLY THE SAME SITUATION AS US CANADIANS....... because this is what the Bank of Canada does ideally.... it remits virtually all the interest earned on the loans that it gives out to Canada's federal or provincial goverments into the treasury....... when they are paid back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The net cost of Bank of Canada loans to the Canadian taxpayers is virtually ZERO!!!!!!!!!

 

You could be correct...... but President Trump is in a position to
coopt a part of his platform after Zuckerberg has sold it to a part of the population of America........ and accomplish what I suspect President Trump has been planning since 1991.

Did going bankrupt in '91 prepare Mr. Trump for the Presidency?

Continue on with your quest for another Red October. I suppose if someone took a cow patty and slapped it between 2 slices of bread, you'd call that a ham sandwich.

I just tell the truth. Sometimes it hurts.

 

But humans are not meant to be like Gerbils running on an endless treadmill of debt....... and / or hunger..... and / or greed and / or excessive materialism either!

 

Do you think giving deadbeats an extra $500 walking around money will turn them into model citizens?

I dont

 

Andrew Yang: The entire socialism-capitalism dichotomy is out of date

 

I will definitely read more about him and likely contact his campaign headquarters.

Even though I am a Trump supporter I do believe that President Trump would consider something like this if he and some of his best advisers felt that it was the best way to prevent the free fall of the USA petrodollar as Soros and others have openly expressed as their goal.


George Soros: The United States Must Stop Resisting The Orderly Decline Of The Dollar, The Coming Global Currency And The New World Order

I was looking for something else and ran into this:

One of the most astonishingly brilliant economists that I know gave me credit for this assessment of our situation:

It will work for some of them......
but if you give an extra five hundred to people like me who already volunteer about a thousand hours of my time annually writing and being active politically........ those of us who are already using our money reasonably well will spend the extra five hundred in such a way as to benefit our nations.

If the parents and grandparents of that person who is really wasting their lives decide to use part of that extra five hundred to assist the guy...... one of these days he might just go all Todd White...... and become a positive influence for thousands of young people. This man who wasted twenty two years of his life as a drug addict has played a huge role in assisting my daughter to develop a close relationship with her Creator and Messiah.




Luk 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

 

I would be a model citizen for fifty dollarisms even a free pizza from pizza hut.

 

Only becuase JP Morgan screwed him over. You really think he'd have done all the crazy **** he pulled off if he was broke? You think the government would have robbed his still warm corps if he had nothing?

If he hadn't gone crazy, I suspect he'd have eventually recovered financially.

 

I wouldn't put too much stock in that. EVERYONE seems to be talking about him despite the numbers and no debates have happened so everyone is answering these polls on name recognition. Sanders in '15 wasn't doing so hot until a few months before Iowa and Trump was at 5% at this stage and now he's POTUS. If the numbers don't move after the 1st debate, THEN I'll write him off. Until then, who knows.

 

Edison exploited and screwed him too.

 

Ya but he had awesome ideas people were willing to invest in. This is why I credit his insanity with his poverty. A well articulated Tesla pitching a death ray with all his other crazy stuff panning out previously... He'd have found some crazy rich bastard. lol

 

I believe a lot of Tesla's theories will eventually become reality.

His theories about electric transmissions have always fascinated me.

 

And he proved it! That's why JP Morgan pulled the plug. He wanted a radio, something he could charge money for (for less than the cost of sending a telegram since he wouldn't have to pay for all the wiring and labor). Wireless electricity though can't be metered and so their's no money in it. That Tesla invented radio AND an advanced power grid at the same time, using the same tech amazes me.

 

The American obsession with socialism is just that, an obsession. Maybe you lot shouldn’t have been allowed to read Atlas Shrugged as teenagers?

 

I am living proof your wrong, I have been retired for 10 months now and have lost weight, exercised more, eat better and have much less stress.

 

Why the hell did you quote me in this response?

 

Because intelligent people understand money has to be earned not handed out, production equals reward, handouts equal slavery.

 

And when all the slaves are replaced by artificial intelligence?

 

Never going to happen, there will always be a need for those who are intelligent and have mechanical skills.

 

Intelligence is relative. When IT evolves to be smarter than a large percent of the human race the entire economic equation will no longer make sense, free enterprise or otherwise.

 

because I am an idiot!

My response to you was to be that I hoped you like plonk.

 

Not quite true, no matter how far IT evolves the need for those who maintain systems still remains.

A lot of AG out here is automated, as a result the job pool has moved from largely unskilled labor, to those who build and maintain the automation, factories, plants and processing can be automated, but humans can never be totally replaced they just need to evolve and become better skilled.

 

And Gorgeous George... you are performing a significant public service through these discussion forums. Maybe... maybe G-d thinks that you deserve an extra five hundred / month just for your public service on these forums?????

Here is how I worded this a few moments ago:

I am thinking that President Obama and his team performed a huge public service by showing us WHAT NOT TO DO!!!!!

Not to mention the fact that President Obama did STOP HILLARY back in 2008!!!!!
