Mostly Harmless
Wealth taxes are inevitable. As a TSLA super bull I think you have to acknowledge that. TeslaBots, self driven vehicles etc. UBI is going to happen and needs to be paid for. The sensible thing would be to start with 1% to initiate a smooth change of paradigm.
Feeling like a leftie here is a strange feeling when I am now used to disguising my UK centrist politics in a UK where everyone I meet is to the left of me.
Have you accounted for the deployment of Renewables/Batteries causing the cost of Energy to head toward zero and how this paradigm shift in economics will play into the concerns raised?
This Green Tidal Wave (as one Tesla bull often calls it) would lead to a significant amount of "good deflation" and should result in easily funding the cost of UBI.
Imagine the effect of free energy on the cost of living. Most of what anything costs is to pay for energy in bringing it to market.
