The government wouldn't have to spend that much they would tax more to generate the money to disperse. As this article also touched on it is really for when the robots take over. Robots don't spend money. Though corporations will save via automation that won't grow the economy if all the consumers are out of work. Consumer spending is something like 60%+ of the US GDP. Again, no expert, high level quick summary here.
Have you read Facebook comments after a drop? The robots are already here and it's a real problem.

I have been thoroughly entertained to see this thread live on with varying topics as there were so many little whiners about it at the start.

I tried to change the title, did not spend a ton of time searching, but if you let me know how, if I can I will close it.

Then start a new one for thoughts about Robots taking over the art market. :shock:

Like Seinfeld only without the goofiness and with three times the discomfort. I know that's the point, but it hurts.
Yeah, I've never seen his show, so can't really speak to that. But I love his stand-up. His delivery is so good.

Not all. Louis C.K. is still ridiculously funny. His show at Moody earlier in the year was one of the funniest I've seen live.

P.S. This is the stand-up comedy thread, right?
Not really. Duke ain't nearly as funny as he was before he became #megarich

P. S. Ya neva seen his show? Oof. Obvs not a #trufan

Nope, millenials aren't collectors because they didn't grow up with G.I. Joe, that fudge was kid crack
