Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Disagree. AI will make UBI the only way forward besides mass deaths.
People have been saying machines will eliminate all jobs since the dawn of the industrial revolution.
Right at this moment there are people that are doing minimum wage jobs that don't have enough money to survive on. How about we solve the present day problems instead of worrying about the problems of some sci-fi future world? We can worry about the problems of the future in the future you know.
And machines have been eliminating jobs since the dawn of the industrial revolution. We've just been finding more jobs that need doing to keep up with that. No guarantee that that treadmill will run forever.
You contradicted yourself in two sentences. People being unable to survive on what they can earn is a present day problem, not "some sci-fi future world." The problem that UBI is attempting to solve is already here. It's just going to grow worse over time.
