Why not? It relates to the Metro Atlanta area, doesn't it?

What many Republican voters don't understand is that they aren't rich enough for the Republican party. The upper middle class Cobb voter thinks they're the ones that would benefit from Republican tax cuts, not realizing the GOP only caters to those with a net worth in the multiple millions at a minimum.

HAHA. The 1%ers' don't even see the middle class/upper middle class as m.c. and u.m.c. They see everyone but them as poor. It's so crazy how much emulating of the super rich there is and people don't realize that they will most likely never be as wealthy as them. They get so much respect in our society...so much admiration, while the poor gets the brunt of the hate. In their eyes, the poor and the m.c. are all below them.

China is already going max speed with pushing the robots. And the USA if it doesn't want to fall behind globally, will eventually have to bite the bullet and do the same.

White men will be displaced from jobs at obscene levels. And that situation will push more of them into drugs to sooth their depression...like the opiod epidemic that is happening in the rural areas of Georgia...and angry enough to go to the guns.

Republicans and the elites are emptying out the Treasury at their peril.

No money in the Treasury to help the displaced people when the robots and A.I. come a-knocking...means massive hunger strikes...and ultimately violence on a massive scale against the power structure.

Or maybe the violent revolution scenario is what the elites want to happen?

Who knows.

It's gonna get reeaaaaaaaaaal ugly in a few short years.


Time to prep, my fellow ATLiens!
EXACTLY! I can't tell you how pissed I get when I hear people say that Bernie was too far politically from the populace but then they were willing to vote/support people like Trump who was also drastically too far politically from the populace. This country will very much need socialism in the future because robots will replace jobs and there will be massive unemployment. Capitalism won't be able to survive once A.I. takes over. Is it Sweden who has started experimenting with a automatic living wage...I forgot what they call it but basically the country(ies) are starting to prepare for the day when people might not have jobs and will have to depend on the government for wages and eventually a cashless society where people get at least the necessities like a home and food to eat.

Universal Basic Income (UBI).

It's not a concept that has been discussed much here in the USA. Definitely not in mainstream Corporate McNews media.

Only in the social media and then on sites that the public are not even familiar with by large.

The World Economic Forum has a Facebook site that talks about UBI, Robots, and AI constantly. I always defer to the WEC when I want to know about what global policies are coming down the pipeline.

I suppose because in the land of "pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps" Capitalism, the very thought of paying someone a government salary for not working...is akin to sacrilege or apostasy.

You will never hear the term "Universal Basic Income" from the corporate propaganda media until it's too late.

True true and I will definitely look into the WEF to learn.
