(7,283 posts)Once we begin to put things back together, there will be different ways to do it. That will scare many people. We'll have to be sure to short, concise and truthful when trying to explain the difference in ways. For example, I can see where SS becomes part of a UBI that all people will qualify for. Maybe a certain percentage of their working wages combined with the UBI. A UBI is going to become absolutely necessary as corporations sweep aside whole populations of careers in favor of AI. All things will have to be considered, those that affected us the past, those that affect us now, and those that will affect us in the near future. It won't be easy, and it's going to call for some pretty strategic critical thinking. We also have to conquer this country's fear of the "elite intelligentsia" and understand that we need smart people to get this right.
