    In theory, millions of people earning decent wages in government jobs to administer social programs, which should be eliminated (that's the fine print here) would be laid off and given a basic wage. People in turn would be further tethered to an already onerous and overbearing oligarchical bureaucracy who in their infinite wisdom will determine what they feel you need to survive. And once you are tethered, you are not going to get free from the clutches of the rulers. It will not set you free, this move.

    I'm sorry, giving any more control of our very existence to a nameless machine is insanity to me. And it WILL be a machine calculating your needs and doling out your daily bread. Welcome to the future.
