    The vanishingly small amount of people that will be unfathomably rich in a privatized post-scarcity economy will give us just enough in UBI to make sure we can buy our Mountain Dew verification cans. And without the ability to withhold our labor as a class, we’ll have no peaceful avenue to improve our conditions.

      Why are you obsessed around wealth of other people? You should be more concerned about your own income rather than some super wealthy CEO

        Because my labor creates their super wealth, and because they’re destroying the planet to maintain it.

        Because, as OP points out, wealth disparity is a zero-sum game. Being concerned about the super wealthy is being concerned about our own income.

          wealth disparity is a zero-sum game

          Except it’s not. That wealth isn’t cash in some bank account, in most cases it’s a stock in companies these people built from scratch - Bezos made Amazon, Gates Microsoft, Buffet Berkshire Hathaway and so on

          The wealth of super rich is allocated in places that produce goods and services
