It would, yes. But, the argument is that a person who wants a higher quality of life than "simply living" would be expected to work.
The right to life is, this way, protected - the right to a quality life, similar to today, would still have to be earned. This is in addition to the social pressure to work.
Yes, funding UBI with raised corporate taxes is absolutely not optional, I agree completely.
At the end of the day, simplified, UBI means: massive cuts to the workforce, in lieu of technology that can perform the exact same tasks more efficiently, for less; all the while paying people money at the same or similar levels of what they earned before.
It would be insane to assume the former would just grow wealthier over night while the latter is relegated to being financed by - in this example - wishful thinking. The money's gotta come from somewhere, and it makes sense it be the same place it's (supposed to be) coming from now.
Isn't this the primary argument for universal basic income? If you're keeping unnecessary jobs around just to give people something to do, you're not actually keeping them for contributions to society... In the long run ubi could probably even be cheaper than paying to prop up obsolete and wholly unnecessary industries.
Yeah. You can eat the eyes and suck the juices out of the head, if you're looking to not waste any part of your shrimpy boi. If not, you can always use the heads for stock.
It's great stuff, but I don't like having to support individual shows - I want to just get the bundle and support all the big ones. :/ So bizarre that it's not available in every state.
I'm an avid reader and listener of NPR (and I do support my local station - fingers crossed we'll get the NPR+ bundle soon), and I have yet to see any article that even remotely seemed to be written by an AI.
Correct. The level of entitlement I've seen here on Lemmy is generally astonishing.
These companies have dozens of members of staff who absolutely deserve to be paid for their work. They're not allowed to run ads, they're not allowed to ask to be paid, what the fuck else are they supposed to do?
Fuck, even for YouTube - if you use the service, either pay, watch ads, or just don't use the service at all. It's not that hard.
Quite a few people were playing solo to be able to work out the heists, on day one - allocating an entire server slot for solo games because of the forced always on multiplayer is ridiculous (and probably contributed to the server problems more than needed).
Barely. I played a few levels with it, but the FSR settings you had to use to have the game function at an acceptable framerate left things looking blocky and shitty.
I hope they do something to get it working, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I mean, makes sense to me. You're storing your data on someone else's servers, makes sense that it would count towards your storage quota on said servers.
Having said that, it's really shitty that they've removed local backups (and that they don't allow other third party services beyond Google Drive and Apple iCloud).
Another reason to not use WhatsApp (or to use another backup solution), I guess.
Let them finish building the game first, then I think it'll be fair to talk about compatibility.
