Social security absolutely keeps elderly out of poverty.

Thanks for the reality check.

What do you think of the Times article and the author's views of AI & GMI? (Is there a preferred shorthand here for guaranteed income. There's a number of terms around)

I am headed to the gym. I will look at it later.

There are some really bad ways to implement something like that, though, and I don't think our economy is anywhere near able to do it right now. This is purely hypothetical stuff at this point. We are basically speculating about the nature of the economic system that replaces capitalism.

Speculating, yes, but we are already on the slippery slope, and the horizon line of the cliff is in sight. Everyone can see drivers are going to be out of work, but there's probably 10x their number in the next bump. How hard is it to picture your greasy spoon menu being interactive and the food coming on a glorified Roomba from an automated kitchen?

That's called Dunning-Kruger effect.
