Also, basic income is not about inequality. Its about preventing American Spring and keeping one more consumer on the float so he can buy shit he does not need.
Exactly. Gig economy is not good or bad for people who are in ot, but it is a definitely sign of increased human force redundancy. Moving from an old school taxi company, maintaining a standard of cars to a makeshift guerilla drivers with assorted quality cars is a bad deal.
Running for Congress is stupid, complaining about your job is stupid, company that switches to overseas workers is stupid, fighting globalization is stupid, fighting anything because of your personal mishap is stupid.
Evolution and theory of origin of species are related but significantly different statements about two different things.
Evolution is an experimental observation of biological organisms changing in generations.
Theory of origin of species uses this observation to claim universality of evolution and that it can explain all diversity of current species by deriving it from a single primordial organism.
Evolution is an undisputable fact, while theory of origin of species is not even a scientific theory. It fails Popperian criteria of falsifiability
More generally, all statements saying: "this is what happened a million years ago" are, for the lack of a desire to find a better word, idiotic.
Privacy will go. That's the inevitable future (you can say "inevitable" with Agent Smith accent).
The same wonderful combo: digital information that is not lost and Internet that spreads it freely faster than you can say "entropy" brings you newest Holliwood action masterpieces on the same day of premiere and it also will make _your_ information available to any suitable buyer.

Nice comment. I always thought that conspicuous consumption is a consequence of severe psychological problems.
With the growing number of people who feel excluded from production, they will eventually become comfortable with that and stop buying crap.
Now sod off.
> when incompetent women get hired at the same rate as the incompetent men
Can hardly wait
I am afraid that this will create a problem even largere than Y2K.
.. is stupid.
Haven't people had enough with fan-art picked up and promoted by media conglomerate to much chagrin of the consumers? This is the same thing.
It requires a great talent, imagination, creativity to produce an original story/
But I am going to eat this with a lot of salt.
.... that is the economic system war between US and China
... to such a poor underdevloped country like Norway.
... population is stupid and democracy is an insane method of government.
That's right, mom and pop services replacing corporate, boring, but standard and guaranteed level of service such as taxis and hotels.
We all learned already about the ugly side of guerilla taxi and we keep learning about the same ugly side of guerrilla hotels.
I wonder if this could be fixed by disassociating the platform from hosts.
Abnb is not a hotel, it's just a software used by many shady private dwellings to score some side cash on tourists.
SF is certainly made for movies. And tourists.
If you think about it, tourism is the major obstacle in many large old cities around the world to creating better urban communities.
All these futuristic city projects you see, they won't happen until we learn to deal with tourists.
All these picturesque slums from the past that we call tourist attractions must give space to cities of the future.
So, does thia mean that current FCC is not 100% evil.
to limit universality of universal commodity called money

Lashing at boomers and xers is as stupid as lashing at millenials.
Crappy blog spam that does not list even bare minimum to understand what's happening on that test. Yet it produces stupid ethnic/racial implications.
Burn this type of crap with fire, mods.
"Nice job", beauHD

Of course it is real. You need to be a complete idiot to deny that such a theory exists.
That's us. Millenials will start getting basic income by the time they will be 40
Do you know how they catch monkeys by putting banana in a cage? We are only apes they say.

Isn't the real problem that they put there anything at all?
>OP seems to be saying that they think the hierarchy is using binary structures, but not that the firing/not firing is a simple 0 or 1 condition
How could they tell?
