Imagine

 

Both Star Trek, the original and Star Trek - the next generation, were both predicated upon DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM where all one's needs were met whether one worked or not...  however, most everybody in this fantasy decided to work or were not part of the series.


While that ideal state, if it ever happens, is so far into our future that your grandchildren's grandchildren's grandchildren will never be a part of that society.


Imagine, by John Lennon, talked about a world without religion and without wars.  While that too was a nice thought neither one of those concepts will never disappear as long as mankind survives itself.


However, we don't have to imagine much to know that AI/AI humanoid robots will be replacing most jobs in the near future.  In 2025, it is already starting to happen and will be in full swing before 2030 arrives.


What this will create?  (obviously my opinion)

millions of unemployed who will not have the financial ability to buy the goods and services that advanced technology is creating.

Solution:

Pay a guaranteed income to the unemployed

Financed by:

  • the company
  • the wealthy

How?

  • Voluntarily
  • With congressional laws
  • Removal of tax shelters


Obviously, CONGRESS must be composed of elected officials who are willing to do this...  therefore, CONGRESS must pass legislation limiting their own term limits.


So, now I am imagining several things:

One - guaranteed income

Two - term limits for both houses of Congress

Three - removal of all tax shelters for the wealthy

Four - an enlightened CONGRESS

Five - both political parties agreeing
