    This is not the Christian era
    and what about the Muslim era?
    there are different calendars
    in g7 Japan. It is not a Christian country
    I think that social democracy is needed
    do you agree

    Your OP is both too vague, and includes too many different ideas. What do Japan's calendars have to do with the price of religion in America? And "what about, the Muslim era?"

    Obviously, this country has a strong foundation of "Christian values." Likewise as obvious, is that the hold of institutional religions is slowly weakening, on first world, Western secular society. Yet it is still very strong, in Latin American countries, from where currently come the lion's share of our immigrants. Then, you end your questionably cohesive paragraph, by asking about Social Democracy, as if that were oppositional to the idea of Christianity. Since I am chided, over the length of some of my posts, I prefer not to try to cover such an open field, as your are laying out for us. Are any guardrails possible, clarifying your train of thought?

    When?

    Don't get me wrong, I am not doubting or against the UBI concept (Andrew Yang had been my second favorite, of the Democratic Primary hopefuls), but looking at our current labor market, with greater than historically "full" employment, when do you estimate the stuff will start hitting the fan, to a society-disrupting, unignorable degree? How are you defining that: just one profession decimated, such as truck drivers, or national, Depression-rate unemployment? Lastly, where, in that process, do you believe that government will step in?

    Government will have a larger role.

    I had meant, at what point in the reputedly looming crisis, depicted in Fresh Air's TED Talk video. IOW, does government pro-actively address this before it is even a problem? Or at the early stages, with unemployment, for example, less than 10%, or will things have to get worse, and for how long?

    So will government recognize this, and enact legislation to prepare, in advance? Or do they address it in real time and, if so, how bad do things get? If this becomes a problem, how long does it take for us to agree to a solution, that works?

    Government responds to the people's needs, or at the very least they respond to their constituents' needs. When the chatter and bubble gets concerned enough they'll make changes.

    Imagine it would all be a bit of an experiment.

    Something else to factor in is the second and third world countries and international politics. Will they follow a similar trend and how will that that affect us?

    I'm with DEFinning, your post lacks cohesion. It is unclear what you're asking. None of your points seem to have very much to do with each other (and if they do, you're not clear about what).

    it will be after, not pro-active imo, when the people can't get jobs and demand it

    I think it may be an AI bot designed to drive up post counts on the board.

    Not convinced. Even the easily available ai bots can generate swathes of decent, seemingly coherent and even insightful content. The OP didn't even make it one line.

    Maybe. But why assume a bot would be the best bot? Maybe it is a beginner's first attempt at one.

    Quick, ask it a question only an AI can answer!
