all valid points but i really hope it wouldn’t just be $250. that would fail to make the kind of difference it ought to. it should be minimum $1k a month but ideally more like $2k.

> then how are those goods/services provided?

automated production can grossly outproduce what we do, heck it already does, just look at agriculture and manufacturing, automation can easily provide all basic needs

Can I get a ride? I never got around to completing my space rocket. All my friends make fun of me for it, I still wanna help! I’ll pick up two pieces for the effort!

the main argument for UBI is not really about wanting/not wanting to work but about not being able to- because AI can do whatever you would at much higher efficiency and it will not need lot of human coworkers, in other words there wont be enough work offered to meet the demand

Only until next year.

Or the year after.

Or then the year after that.

Ad infinitum

Just start linking them together in space web and use it to block out the sun over the icecaps. Easy.

Only us humans can fuck over the planet and outside the planet. We are a next level virus to all planets.

Sadly... for many corps its about their bottom line. Processed food(bad for health) in non-degradable plastics(bad for environment).

Every year is a new unprecedented level, please ban non-degradable plastics.

Til it reaches a breaking point. Then death. Lots and lots of death. I think that’s what the writers are getting at here.

Yes. Every year (every day) is a new unprecedented record. Serious problem; meaningless word.

So whats the solution to clean it up. Giant magnets

In other words, if we continue to increase plastic pollution and never clean it up, there will be more every year, leading to even higher "unprecedented" levels, right?

Just gotta catch it first.

"In low Earth orbit (below 1,250 miles, or 2,000 km), orbital debris circle the Earth at speeds of between 4 and 5 miles per second (7 to 8 km/s). However, the average impact speed of orbital debris with another space object will be approximately 6 miles per second (10 km/s). Consequently, collisions with even a small piece of debris will involve considerable energy."NASA Link

So for the anyone who wants to know (6 miles per second) 6mi/s= 21600.00mph. So I hope you are the flash or superman.

Funnily enough, I lean on the side of not calling for action

In fact, Kessler Syndrome (the space debris death spiral) can't get here fast enough

Why? A thought experiment

What will the Earth look like in a century if space colonies become feasible? Think about it, then you'll know why I prefer all of us being stuck on this rock

You guys are having children?

A lot of us can’t even look after our selfs

The age of the world today is unprecedented. Tomorrow, it will be even unprecedenteder.

Hey everyone...if each of us picks up just one piece of space junk, we can make a difference.

I'll be in low Earth orbit early Sunday morning if anyone wants to join
