I'd like to place my order for 17 free tons of gold today, thanks!

that would use all your UBI for a few decades no doubt...

That kind of goes to prove my point. Elon can talk about AI and robots doing all these things, but the reality is a Universal Basic Income existence sucks. We already have plenty of examples of this in some form when you take a look at what we did to the Native Americans. The fed government said if you go peacefully to the reservations, we'll feed, house you, and take care of your medical needs.

I am not a fan of the government playing that role again with an even larger part of our society.

But damned if I wouldn't take a log of government cheese every now and then! IYKYK
