Y Combinator Announces Funding For UBI-Supporting Political Candidates (latimes.com)
Most people "feel like they have great potential that is being wasted," argues Y Combinator president Sam Altman -- a Stanford dropout whose company's investments are now worth $65 billion, including Airbnb, Reddit, and Dropbox. Now an anonymous reader quote the Los Angeles Times:
A wealthy young Silicon Valley venture capitalist hopes to recruit statewide and congressional candidates and launch an affordable-housing ballot measure in 2018 because he says California's leaders are failing to address flaws in the state's governance that are killing opportunities for future generations. Sam Altman, 32, will roll out an effort to enlist candidates around a shared set of policy priorities -- including tackling how automation is going to affect the economy and the cost of housing in California -- and is willing to put his own money behind the effort. "I think we have a fundamental breakdown of the American social contract and it's desperately important that we fix it," he said. "Even if we had a very well-functioning government, it would be a challenge, and our current government functions so badly it is an extra challenge..."
Altman lays out 10 principles including lowering the cost of housing, creating single-payer healthcare, increasing clean energy use, improving education, reforming taxes and rebuilding infrastructure. He has few specific policy edicts, and floats proposals that will generate controversy, such as creating a universal basic income for all Americans in an effort to equalize opportunity, public funding for the media and increasing taxes on property that is owned by foreigners, is unoccupied or has been "flipped" by investors seeking a quick return on an investment.
Altman argues that he wants to "ensure that everyone benefits from the coming changes," and specifically highlights the idea of a Universal Basic Income. Altman writes that "If it turns out to be a good policy, I could imagine passing a law that puts it into effect when the GDP per capita doubles. This could help cushion the transition to a post-automation world."

What a fucking lie. If you read something like this - just stop reading right there. Such an obvious, bullshit way of talking this guy up.
Casey Neistat did a video review of "American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road" by Nick Bilton. The Silk Road was the black market of the Internet where you could have gotten anything. I haven't read it yet but looks like a good read.

The Episcopalian Religion is straight out of the pits of hell. They teach that performing the seven sacraments are absolutely essential to go to heaven. This is the same damnable heresy which Roman Catholicism teaches. END
About the Satanic Episcopal Church...
Official Website - www.ecusa.anglican.org
Statistics - The Episcopal Church is the American Counterpart of the Church of England or Anglican Church of England. There are 75 million worldwide and 2.3 million in the USA, with the Episcopal Church being formed in America in 1789 in Philadelphia. Membership is on the decline, with a 28% since 1965. Headquarters in America is in New York for the Episcopal Church.
Background and Formation
This church was formed in 1534 when it broke away from the Anglican Church over the matter of a king who wanted to divorce his wife and the pope wouldn't let him! . As church historian A. A. Davis notes - âoeThere does not seem to have been any doctrinal matter involved at all when the Church of England was born.
Luther objected to the doctrines and the practices of Rome, but the Church of England seems to have come about purely by accident. King Henry VIII of England had become dissatisfied with one of his wives, and incidentally he only had six of them.
I learned a little ditty many years ago concerning the fate of the wives of Henry VIII. It went like this âoeDivorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.â He divorced the first one; he beheaded the second one; the third one was fortunate to die a natural death; the fourth one he divorced; the fifth one he beheaded; but, the sixth one outlived him. He had fallen in love with beautiful Anne Boleyn. He wanted a divorce from Katherine.
The pope claimed the right, as he has until this day, as supreme authority in domestic affairs. When the prime minister chided the king regarding his desires, and the pope would not grant him a divorce, Thomas Cromwell said to him: âoeYou are the King of England . Why donâ(TM)t you just write a letter to the pope, and in your own way, tell him to go jump in the lake, then organize a church of your own; write yourself a bill of divorcement, go marry the woman of your choice.â He said it was a pretty good idea. That is just about what happened in history. He wanted another wife and he got her. And the world got another church. That is just as plain and blunt as I know how to put it.
There is not a historian of any reputation that will refute one statement that I have made. Now do not misunderstand me. There were no doctrinal matters involved at the time of the Church of Englandâ(TM)s birth, but after it was instituted, there were many good and needed reforms instituted. They threw overboard some of the most repulsive Catholic doctrines; the chief one was the celibacy of the priesthood. They do permit their ministers. They did away with the Catholic idea of purgatory and limbo; and in the main as a doctrine, did away with confessional policy. Though in some instances, they have sought to return it. But they brought with them from Rome, their mother church these same doctrines, infant baptism, and a state religion.â
It was the Church of England, under the enforcement of their laws, that imprisoned John Bunyan, kept him in jail for 12 long years, during which time he gave to the world that matchless piece of literature, âoeThe Pilgrimâ(TM)s Progress.â It was written by a Baptist preacher in Bedford prison. He was imprisoned not by the Catholics or the Lutherans, but imprisoned by the Church of England people because he preached against the baptism of infants. They offered him his freedom several different times if he would promise not to preach aga
Giving people a free income makes the fat and lazy. It's a slippery slope to communism. Forget about it.
Much of what he wants is good and maybe possible. However holding back automation is 100% wrong headed. People have been trying to hold back automation for centuries. In fact automation can lower the price of housing in a huge way. And yes, we will have social unrest and some tribulations as humans become obsolete in employment situations. However that very same automation that provides homes and miraculous health care is also the same automation that will eliminate your jobs. In the past it was the guy who shoveled dirt or coal that became jobless due to automation. now it is book keepers, accountants, lawyers and even doctors and they tend to have far more social power to resist changes. But the very reason that automation will win is the same reason the crackpot notions about hiding cures for cancer exist. We are supposed to believe that a doctor can cure a cancer when he wants to but there is so much money that he will never do it. We are asked to believe that doctor will watch his parents, his kids his wife or even his own life to end from cancer when he has that secret cure at hand at all times. and that is exactly why doctors will yield to automated medical care. It is also the reason that lawyers will support automated medical care and you can bet your last penny that insurance companies love quick, easy and inexpensive cures for any problem. In other words there are huge numbers of people hitting the go fast button on automation and they tend to be the bright and highly paid people among us. The worst thing we are against is not exactly regulation but more of allowing a permissions based society. In other words you build a home and government and others will tell you just how you can build that home. The idea of permits or permissions allows so much abuse of individuals that absolutely everything turns into a money issue with a whole bunch of people feeding off the side effects of those permissions.

65 billion imaginary dollars.
No one knows the true worth of a company until you go to sell it. How much would Reddit and Dropbox sell for if there were buyers? Not much. AirBnb? Not much more.
If he sold all his companies, right, now, he wouldn't get anything close to 65 billion.

There are three types of people who call themselves Jews:
1. True Torah [Sephardic] Jews: these are the descendants of Prophet Jacob-Israel (Jacobites or Israelites) (about 5%-10% of all Jews)
2. Khazarian or Ashkenazi Jews: these are the descendants of a Turkic idol/phallic worshiping tribe who migrated to Russia in the 7th Century A.C. and whose nobility converted to Judaism in the 8th Century A.C. and now inhabit mostly Europe. (about 90%-95% of all Jews)
3. Zionist Jews: these are the ones from the 2 above who are pretending to be Jews for political reasons but whoâ(TM)re are actually Illuminists-Luciferian-Masonic-Satanists as Harold Wallace Rosenthal admits in this interview.
They are led by the neo-Pharisees (occult-priest-banklords). They want to establish a Zionist Luciferian state from the Nile to the Euphrates from where they plan to rule the Earth. The new Israeli Supreme Court funded by the Rothschilds Banklords is full of Masonic Symbols, just like the B.I.S. Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, which is the Mother of All Private Central Banks.
The hexagram symbol on the Israeli flag is the ancient Star of Moloch, a Satanic-Baal deity to which people were sacrificed. There is no such thing as a Star of David which the modern Jews have been fooled into believing; however, the True Torah Jews are not fooled by the Zionists Illuminatis and you can visit their websites for more info .

When they run out of other people's money to pay for it, are they simply going to toss those trillions onto the national debt? The dollar is internationally already in danger of being dropped as the international trade currency. How can anyone expect the US economy and the US dollar to avoid a collapse? Embark upon wars of annexation, colonialism, and empire-building as EU nations have done down through history?

Things are going to get very ugly before they get better. The investor class will not relinquish its power without a fight. These guys will fight to the bitter end. They have everything to lose. They will use their resources to keep the status quo in place. Expect the skirmishes between main street and wall street to escalate. The outcome is very hard to predict, but there will be a conflict. Best case: We are able to wrest control from the investor class, and restore democracy. Worst case: Think Second Civil War, Robots killing citizens en-masse, biological agents released, or US military thermonuclear bombs targeted intra-US.

The real issue isn't a housing shortage, the real issue here is there are no jobs where housing is cheap.
There is plenty of cheap housing in California if you're willing to live anywhere but the bay area. Modesto, Stockton, Hollister, Tracy come to mind first. Problem is guys like Sam Altman want to live in Woodside, Atherton, or Los Altos. People like Sam Altman do not want to commute any more than 12 minutes to work. People like Sam Altman would never lower themselves to live in any of the aforementioned cities, much less start a company with decent paying wages in them.
We always hear the excuse, "WELL THE GOOD TALENT DOESN'T LIVE IN THOSE CITIES!" Really? Because I could have sworn we have over 100k H1b visa holders that were willing to live anywhere but where they came from. I could have sworn a lot of these folks would think that Stockton, even with it's high crime rate is a much better, much more civilized city than where they came from.
I've been preaching this for a while, seems like it would solve so many issues. Less traffic, less economic depression, and a foot up for people living in those cities. It's not like Atherton, Los Altos, or Woodside need anymore money. Give people a job, they won't need UBI.
This is just leftist drivel. You're killing people's potential by trying to provide cradle to grave amenities. Eventually you won't have the tax base to provide much and you've reduced most people to poverty.
People with potential can achieve much but not with a noose around their neck of government coercion.
No lie, no crime is too big if it serves the cause.
The end justifies the means.

Funding for political candidates, really, that's what we call bribes now. At least lobbying and election contributions supposedly go towards specific issues or election funds, these bozos are just cutting the crap and funding politicians.
I don't want any collection of rich people basically buying out the entire candidate pool, at least right now we have our pick from rich people and even though they are further removed from our world than we care to admit, at least they are somewhat of a pick.

Oh, HELL NO.. between this UBI bullshit, and politicians who think the laws of mathematics have to take a back seat to the 'law of the land', the human race is DOOMED.
Or maybe you dont have a strong grasp on what UBI is for or how it would work.
What it is for: a future where automation is cutting large numbers of people out of work. While there have always been people who have lost their jobs to automation the worry now is that robotics may be replacing manual labor almost entirely in the future. What are the manual laborers in this country going to do if that happens? Furthermore, advances in "ai" threaten many traditionally well paying jobs which makes the problems even worse.
How UBI works: UBI isnt as expensive as you make out. With UBI there's no unemployment payouts, food stamps, or any other number of social programs along with the large bureaucracies needed to make them work. While that money saved wont cover all the costs there's enough static wealth at the top even right now (let alone in a world so heavily automated) to make up the difference.
And really, I havent heard any viable solutions to what looks like a looming labor crises that isnt "let them all starve" or UBI

1 government enacts UBI, funded by raising taxes on wealthy corporations with revenue > $x million
2 poor people don't save and spend their UBI checks on goods they can afford
3 businesses that do not serve poor people lose money while businesses that do serve poor people make more money
Just got back from another trip to Silicon Valley. Couldn't help but notice that the place has become a very expensive ghetto. Infrastructure is essentially what was there in the 70s. Everyone is stuck in traffic on the way there/back. Folks are busy flipping 40yr old poorly-designed one-two story houses to each other at staggering prices. Even the cell phone coverage sucks. Clearly, negligible amount of resources has gone into making the area as a whole better .. and this is the golden child of US as a whole and liberal-minded California...
9. fair trade and fair jobs
10. fair government
Who decides what is fair? If everyone could agree on that answer, there wouldn't be any problems. The USA has several problems because the moment anyone suggests welfare (eg. UBI) there's a nation-wide scream of "I deserve" with the richest voices, corporations, controlling the dialogue. Such screams also hide the truth that corporations pay, in practice, a lower rate of tax than real people.
I think they're basically saying that they're going to support Zuckerburg's run for president in the next election.
Sam Altman is an idiot. What happened to entrepreneurs like Henry Ford, who promoted technology that made men more productive? Ford's assembly line workers earned enough money to buy the cars they manufactured. That's how the industrial revolution helped to build wealth and prosperity for all. Altman is telling people they are worthless so they need to have money thrown at them for doing nothing. I dearly hope that is not the future. It's a recipe for resentment, anger, and social disfunction.
First off, thanks for trotting out Karl Rove/Regan's tired old talking point about government. To which I'll say: A government agent paid for the life saving medicine for a family member of mine. While a capitalist declined to order some cat scans for said family member because they were afraid they wouldn't get paid if the scans came up negative and caused lots of complications. Google the phrase "Wallet Biopsy" sometime and be horrified.
Now on to the next point: I get it. You don't like Government. Well, tough titties. See, gov'ts are really, really useful. For everyone. If you try to do without one the rich and powerful won't. They'll make one for you. Well, not you per se. For themselves. And _only_ themselves.
And for Pete's sake pick a better sig. Sweden doesn't have a bloody police state. The USSR and China are not progressive. You do understand that people can lie, right? The folks who crammed your head full of those ideas did. Go read some of Liz Warren and Al Franklin's books. Then check their sources (they're all meticulously sourced) and then go read A People's History Of The United States. You've been had.

Barbara Spectre, a jew, tells everyone it's jews orchestrating the muslim migrant problem in Europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFE0qAiofMQ/ . No migrant raping of women in Poland. Tons in Sweden. Do the math. Use common-sense. This is to get muslims and other goyim/gentiles to wipe one another out as incompatible cultures that will clash and always have.
George Soros who funds groups to create division in the USA?? A jew. One who sold his own jew people into death for the nazis. Zucker @ CNN is another frying publicly for lying about "russians" and John Bonifield a producer @ CNN said it is bs. Van Jones did also.
There are three types of people who call themselves Jews:
1. True Torah [Sephardic] Jews: these are the descendants of Prophet Jacob-Israel (Jacobites or Israelites) (about 5%-10% of all Jews)
2. Khazarian or Ashkenazi Jews: these are the descendants of a Turkic idol/phallic worshiping tribe who migrated to Russia in the 7th Century A.C. and whose nobility converted to Judaism in the 8th Century A.C. and now inhabit mostly Europe. (about 90%-95% of all Jews)
3. Zionist Jews: these are the ones from the 2 above who are pretending to be Jews for political reasons but whoâ(TM)re are actually Illuminists-Luciferian-Masonic-Satanists as Harold Wallace Rosenthal admits in this interview.
They are led by the neo-Pharisees (occult-priest-banklords). They want to establish a Zionist Luciferian state from the Nile to the Euphrates from where they plan to rule the Earth. The new Israeli Supreme Court funded by the Rothschilds Banklords is full of Masonic Symbols, just like the B.I.S. Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, which is the Mother of All Private Central Banks.
The hexagram symbol on the Israeli flag is the ancient Star of Moloch, a Satanic-Baal deity to which people were sacrificed. There is no such thing as a Star of David which the modern Jews have been fooled into believing; however, the True Torah Jews are not fooled by the Zionists Illuminatis and you can visit their websites for more info .
1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim is like killing a wild animal."
2. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
3. Sanhedrin 59a: "A goy (Gentile) who pries into The Law (Talmud) is guilty of death."
4. Yebhamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted if she is three years of age."
5. Schabouth Hag. 6d: "Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording."
6. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Do not save Goyim in danger of death."
7. Hilkkoth Akum X1: "Show no mercy to the Goyim."
8. Choschen Hamm 388, 15: "If it can be proven that someone has given the money of Israelites to the Goyim, a way must be found after prudent consideration to wipe him off the face of the earth."
9. Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost propert
The system is going to collapse one way or another. If UBI is attempted the cost of running it will collapse the system and whatever so called 'civilization' will cease to exist.
The costs are already above what the system can afford anyway with all the government taxes on income and property, with taxes that are regulations on business, with all the fake money and price and wage manipulation. The systemic collapse is working its way through every facet of the economy and society already, UBI will accelerate this but whether it is implemented or not the system is collapsing. The collapse is inevitable under the conditions that the system has been operating for over a century, with the taxes, regulations, price controls, laws and regulations (which are also taxes), the productivity of most individuals has been destroyed and the cost of an unproductive individual is already too high for the system to keep going. It's over whether you all like it or not and UBI will simply make it end faster.
You can't handle the truth.
considering y-combinator is basically a judaic capital fund for jewish stanford grads to start jewish startups, he's probably worried that the goys will get "woke" and start crowdsourcing zyklon-b.
I used to agree with a single payer health system, but no more - just look to countries that have it... they hate it.
UBI is complex. As some have said, currently this is a solution in search of a problem. Also, you cant just give everyone the same due to different costs of living in different places. Further, what happens when stores realize everyone has disposable income? Will they raise their prices? Additionally, one has to ask, how much? Is it enough? Too much? Would it aid in reducing or eliminating homelessness? Even working in tandem with reduced housing prices, I doubt it.
This will not win me any friends but, I have an idea. There are a number of abandoned towns throughout the US. We bring the homeless to one of the more remote locations, supply them with what they would need until they could become more or less self-sustaining.
$1 Trillion a year on welfare. Actually the WaPo says we don't spend close to that much, but let's assume they are wrong and it is $1 Trillion.
Lets just use 300 million US citizens, its more but perhaps we don't count children or something. Lets split it up and see what we get...
$1 Trillion / 300 million people = $3,000 per person.
There will STILL be overhead and other costs, plus you will have to give more to disabled more needy and such.
So you are completely lying. I suspect you know you are lying.
Congratulations, you just got called out for it.
Come on APK at least have the balls to sign all your crap. That is right you are too much of a pussy to do so, but now you are going to bitch about AC posts when you post as AC. So I guess you really are just a whiny little pussy. Instead of bitching about AC posts are you going to pretend to be some other AC and support yourself like you do all the time?
Strange how the parent poster and APK have the same habits. It is like they are the same mentally damaged individual.
Hey retard you posted that already. I guess that is just more proof that APK is too stupid to operate a computer.
What a pathetic group we get to vote for. Could you imagine any of the candidates being one of your circle of friends. Not Me.
Challenge: I have better access to my Video, Music, Pics and Text than anyone on Earth.
I'm not sure if I believe that 100% of knowledge worker jobs will be replaced in a timescale short enough to cause upheaval. However it is possible, and I think a basic income is a good option to bridge the gap. It's not because I'm lazy and don't want to work; it's because I can see a time when people won't have to work in some of the crappier knowledge worker jobs, and almost no one will be doing manual labor jobs.
The root of the problem is that our entire society is organized around educating people to take jobs, working at those jobs, selling labor for money, consuming, and repeating the cycle to continue consuming. Money is the key thing that stratifies everyone, and in a perfect scenario how much you have is proportional to how valuable your labor is. (Yes, I know that we don't live in an ideal world - there are plenty of scammers, trust fund kids, criminals and corrupt individuals.) If you suddenly introduce changes into society that make it impossible for people to sell their labor, and impossible for most of them to retrain for something else, then you have to rethink the whole idea of work. If people aren't working in the traditional society we live in, they're consuming less, and companies won't have as many customers for their products. They'll respond by producing less, making less money and therefore hiring fewer people. Once the majority of society is unemployed, you have a big problem on your hands. If you want to keep the old monetary system of valuing things in place, then how do you prevent them from turning to crime or revolting en masse?
I have worked in a lot of big companies, and most corporate jobs are lightweight "knowledge worker" positions that could easily be eliminated by machine learning and automation. There are millions of people who have these jobs and maintain a pretty decent lifestyle while paying taxes into the system and consuming. They're also people who aren't exactly geniuses -- most are typical "C students" who graduated with some random business degree from various state universities. I doubt you're going to retrain someone who's been routing reports around forever to be a big data scientist.
What is it that is so confusing about supply and demand for a large proportion of the population? UBI cannot work simply because if everyone has n dollars, the value of n dollars is diminished. Prices will increase to reflect the new financial reality. It seems like it's the same people who can't understand that a college degree used to be a clear path to well-paying jobs specifically because people with college degrees were scarce, and thus had value. As the proportion of the population with college degrees increases, the value of a college degree decreases. So, no, making sure every kid gets a college education will not ensure well-paying jobs for everyone, it will ensure that a college education has little value in the labor market.
Well, we don't outright ban it. But we do tax the hell out of it. Ever heard of the Estate Tax? You should look it up because it's relevant to your argument.
They already shot down single payer because even the liberal maggots in CA couldn't find an extra $400 BILLION to fund it. This dude is insane. Let him foot the bill for all of it if he's so damn smart.
Isn't it amazing how these rich motherfuckers think they have answers for literally everything because they have money? I have quite a bit of money, but I don't go around ordering people to do my bidding because of it. Who do these morons really think they are? They do love spending everyone else's money for them don't they?
California. The cancerous asshole of the USA. Drown in your own debt, don't come looking to take our money too. Anyone living in CA is just a sad excuse for a human being.
Pax Vobiscum
If you think about it, there are plenty of people for whom it really is best that they do NOTHING, nothing at all...their participation in the economy and workplace is actually detrimental to getting things accomplished, and a drag on overall productivity.
Politicians are a perfect example...
We need people to stop breeding.
What is the problem APK you sucked that elephant's cock raw so now you post to slash dot.
You are a big tough talking no action pussy who is now going to whine a bitch about AC posts because you are a little whiny bitch.Or are you going to post about your faggot little hosts file engine where you can't even do the real work.
APK is your problem that some Jew touched you in bad ways so you feel the need to spam slash dot? Everyone knows it is you posting this crap and everyone recognizes you AC posts to support your self. You must be a sad individual and regret that your life has amounted to some shit software and a pile of spam on an internet tech discussion site. Me I'm drunk and trollin just waiting to laugh at your spastic responses when you finally get around to respond and likely won't remember this tomorrow. Also most other slash doters laugh at you too when you respond. I know it isn't proper to laugh at the mentally handicapped but in your case we all make an exception. While you do get the last word you also don't win as most people have moved on and your arguments are circular at best and at worst alcohol and LSD fueled trip through the jungle of the insane.
APK likes trumps small hands because it makes his tiny dick look yuge.
Have you written Trump so that he can personally pass along your magic hosts file engine to US cyber command and the NSA to stop nation state level threats?
That is right the work you do doesn't do shit for security, so why don't you leave things like that to the real pros.
You know the people who can say with a straight face that a perfectly reasonable solution is to feed a $50,000 server that was intercepted in transit to an electronics shredded and have someone bring a new one as carry on luggage or buy a seat for the server.
So please tell me about the people who recommend your hosts file engine, or how your were featured in some article because your work is absolute garbage when it come to real threats.
Your advice is garbage and while it may protect grandma's facebook account it doesn't do dick in the real world and for real threats your advice is detrimental.
Fuck off APK with your antisemitic shit posts.
Don't worry I'm sure you will claim victory here too as I won't respond to what ever garbage from your follows.
Are your going to bitch about your comments being suppressed, or will it be AC Ne'er-do-wells as you attempt to sound like you have an IQ above room temperature.
I know it will be you claiming that you have done better and then offering up your fucking garbage work as an example of greatness when it is really something that I would be embarrassed to show off.
It looks like APK feels he needs to post this garbage multiple times because it was rightfully down modded. It must be hard for him in a world when people recognize that his work sucks and that he is a cunt. What are you going to tell me about how you played a sport in college that one cared about and because of that I need to care about your opinion? Your glory days are past APK and they weren't great given what you offer. Your life sucks leave the rest of us alone as we have all heard your tired diatribe before. Your posts are a mess that needs an adopt a highway crew to cleanup and bury. APK you add nothing of value to anything and when you chime in on a discussion you massively increase the local and overall entropy in the universe.
UBIcoin, each account holder gets 100 UBIcoin per month
put in a deflationary aspect, e.g., coins disappear if not used within 1 month, or all coins get deflated by 50% every month before the new coins are issued
