Insanity! Stockton, CA To Give $500 To Residents As “Basic Income”

This is what happens when you elect a Democrat, especially a black one, as Mayor. Expect the town to become inhabited by the scourge of the earth.

Stockton, CA To Give $500 To Residents As 'Basic Income'

This will be required for all Americans soon when A.I. and the robots are doing all the work. Soon we won't have driver's ed because the cars will drive themselves.

Where will the money come from? Art, literature and music are produced out of the human condition and experience. Who wants a book written by a robot with no human experience?

And I won't set foot in a driverless car. I have enough problem when I let my wife drive.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

From what I've read, this project will start out as privately funded for 50-75 families for a short term, with something like $6000/ year. But Stockton has over 300,000 residents, can't imagine how they'll do that for everybody or where the money will come from. What the hell, let's give them free health care and free college while we're at it.

$6000 per year is a local entertainment fund.

The city is already bankrupt so this should work great!

It can't be any worse.

Oh, I think you are being too kind. The public employees in Stockton are pissed because they are losing, or going to lose their pensions. I don't think I want to be in a gang infested city when the police decide they have better places to be.

And I won't set foot in a driverless car. I have enough problem when I let my wife drive.

Yes, well these driverless cars may be a lifesaver in the end. Think of how many people get killed by drunk drivers. A driverless car would allow a patron to punch in his home coordinates into his car before he starts drinking. All he would have to do is make it back to his car and hit the "start" button (or whatever it takes for the process to start) and drive home safely.

In fact they closed down one of our major highways this morning. A car got onto the wrong side of the highway and slammed head on into another vehicle. That caused the truck behind the accident to swerve over and he dumped over 500 gallons of fuel onto the highway. I still don't know if it's cleaned up yet. But I'd bet my dollar to anybody's dime it was a drunk driver. One person died in the accident but they didn't state who.

I've worked with computers for nearly 40 years. Any glitch could be the equivalent of a drunk driver.

This is true. Uber has found that out. The car kept stopping for assistance from the passengers. They had to drive the car themselves.

But they will work out those glitches, and then I would trust a computer more than a drunk behind the wheel.

They are just playing mind games. They are putting into the minds of the poor, that Dems wants o give them money. But it is the Repubs that are trying to keep you from having money. And so you better vote next election year for the Dems in order to get your $500.

I hope so, I have another five or six years before I can retire. I'm a truck driver and they are experimenting with driverless trucks which I believe are very dangerous. Unlike a car where you don't have to do many calculations, you always have to think ahead of time when driving a truck. There is a big difference between trying to stop a 2,500 lbs vehicle and a 75,000 lbs vehicle.

The city of Stockton went broke with the housing crash,
the money that will be given out next year is from a pilot program funded by the Economic Security Project. they are providing one million dollars. this is private money.
people just like to post, zero info needed.

Sure doesn't sound like the project will last very long. I don't know anything about Stockton, but somebody posted they have over 300,000 people there.

It is a ran down city. Crimes and drugs everywhere. It looks like a mini Tijuana. When looking at it from afar,that it looks as if Obama had smeared his filthy underwear with brown skid marks all over the town.

It may not work, but its nice to read about people willing to spend seed money to help improve other peoples life's. rather than just spew negative's about some place they don't live & have never been too.

The computer driven truck will know to slow down and stop long before you do. In this case size actually doesn't matter.

I got no problem with a private concern spending their money as they see fit, but I do have a problem spending public money without being honest about where the money is coming from. If the people in California want to do this with their tax dollars, fine by me. But not one dime of MY tax dollars should be financing it.

 

[danielpalos]

How broke will California go is the question.

Deliberately.......

That is why all of those who are responsible deserve a traitors death.


We won't wake up until everything is rationed out to the non elites.

Socialism = the old FEUDAL SYSTEM.

The rich and the fucked

Public spending generates a positive multiplier effect.

Multiplier effect? I don't get how taking $2B out of the revenue pot (no pun intended doper boy) then putting $1.8B back into the same pot is any multiplier? So they go buy 40s quicker then un-wed breed and that is your multiplier?

That's assuming they never venture out of Stockton. In reality, much of that money is spent outside of Stockton. Not a multiplier at all.

redistribution of income will happen locally.

That's because you don't know anything about driving a truck.

If I see an asshole speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, and he's headed towards my lane, I have to be proactive enough to give him enough room before he cuts me off. These idiots will cut in front of a truck with three or four feet to spare and slam on the brakes to get off on their exit. A computer can't spot an asshole. That takes a human being with experience, and trucks can't stop as fast as a car.

If I see a child approaching a walkway that I'm going to cross, I have to be very cautious when I make my turn. Many cities don't have people smart enough to design roads to accommodate a tractor-trailer, and we often have to drive over curbs to make the turn. If that child is too close where I know my trailer wheels are going to go, I have to make sure I go slow enough for the pedestrian to back off or if I have to stop. A computer won't be able to calculate that.

The computers knew the asshole was coming a mile before he showed up, his car also reports in on GPS, and the computer knows to watch for the width of the turn you idiot. It's not a drone that just drives over things. It can figure out what is a pothole and what is a child that fell in the street while you are texting on your cell phone. You have no idea how good this technology is already and when humans no longer drive the computers will know exactly where every vehicle they need be concerned about it is. The rest is watching out for a small child chasing a ball into the street and they already do that.
