Re: Problem solved.

It’s really not that hard. You make sure everyone has food, housing and health care.
I guess you're right. All the other societies preceding us have cured poverty. Why can't we?

By the way, it's not that simple. Inequality is what irks people today. Those losing in the new economy see those winning and are quite mad about it. Hence, UBI is a policy to placate. But I've no delusion it's a long term fix. Once the people who are losing out are able to satisfy the bottom tiers of Maslow's Hierachy of Needs, they're going to want to start satisfying the upper ones.

Everybody wants to keep climbing.

I don't know what you're saying here and I'm not sure you do either.
