Bill gates was in the news only a few days ago saying confidently that in 10 years humans will need to work only 2 days per week. People cheered this believing this means it will be utopia and everyone will be fat and happy. He was really talking about what you are. Massive change is coming. Get ready for massive human misery and total poverty for the vast majority of us. MAGA is only ensuring it happens for sure and faster. These people hate you. You don’t even exist to them. If you don’t want this future you need to act now.

I remember a guy at work fantasizing about having himself cloned so he could send the clone in to do all the work for him. I told him that scenario would end up with both him and the clone sitting at home and arguing about who was going to have to work and both of them getting fucked. It is the same holy shit type of stupidity. They can't even conceive of things turning out badly.

So he wants a slave lol? His clone would still be sentient and would be no different from enslaving anybody else. Meanwhile his clone still needs food to eat and a place to sleep so he's just become a two-person household with 1 income.

What he's saying is he wants to have an income but not have to work for it. He wants UBI

But he’s saying is that he watches too much sci-fi
