It's wild we can lose money on this but healthcare or ubi, I bet ubi would help all these businesses/shareholders investing in ai more because ppl would just spend it all every month buying things they don't need

This is an important point. The folks making "investment" decisions aren't just greedy, they're idiots.

The average capitol holder would make bank after UBI, while the government picked up the tab for health costs, and average folks spend the money saved on consumer goods.

But the healthcare industrial complex gives amazing blowjobs or something, to keep the lobbyists acting against most of their own customer's best interests.
