The Need For Universal Welfare? Could Be.

You have no constitution right to a job.

If you don't have a job, then what does one do as an alternative?
The Fed has no Constitutional mandate to provide anything but defense and a governing body. If your state wants to provide a basic income thats on you as a tax payer to fund that shit.

As for the job thing.

Libertarian nihilism is a joke, not an alternative.

If you are able to time travel, I suggest you head for 1789, because we will never live as you wish.

Back in 2023 Elon Musk talked about a future with universal basic income back in 2023 and a high universal income for people in 2024...

In Musk’s eyes, advances in AI will change the world to the point that eventually, hardly anyone will even have a job. This will require governments to pay out a universal basic income, as most people won’t even be drawing a paycheck.

In 2024, Musk took his views a step further, telling the VivaTech conference in Paris that not just a basic income but a high universal income will be the future of the world. As Musk put it, “In a benign scenario … probably none of us will have a job. … But in that benign scenario, there will be universal high income — not universal basic income, universal high income. There will be no shortage of goods or services.”

That's not based on politics....that's an interesting take on AI.

1. A Chinese scholar predicts the end of capitalism, and instead, exactly what Marx predicted: world wide socialism. Here's is his analysis: AI will result in nearly all work done by machinery, robotics and AI. Society would not allow it to be in the hands of the rich (the Democrats, the party of the rich) and government would control and own it and need to take care of all those who no longer had jobs.


2. "The more AI advances into a general-purpose technology that permeates every corner of life, the less sense it makes to allow it to remain in private hands that serve the interests of the few instead of the many. More than anything else, the inevitability of mass unemployment and the demand for universal welfare will drive the idea of socializing or nationalizing AI."

3. "But when industry only produces joblessness, as robots take over more and more, there is no good alternative but for the state to step in. As AI invades economic and social life, all private law-related issues will soon become public ones. More and more, regulation of private companies will become a necessity to maintain some semblance of stability in societies roiled by constant innovation."


4. "The dream of communism is the elimination of wage labor. If AI is bound to serve society instead of private capitalists, it promises to do so by freeing an overwhelming majority from such drudgery while creating wealth to sustain all."


5. Marx’s dictum, “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs,” needs an update for the 21st century: “From the inability of an AI economy to provide jobs and a living wage for all, to each according to their needs.”

They take the federal benefits and blame others for so doing.
Nah. That's the cartoon version. In reality, conservatives oppose welfare for more substantial reasons. Sure, there are the "not on my dime" stingy conservatives (especially here), but people who have seen its effects first hand are often the most critical of the welfare state. It's not as ironic as you seem to think.
 
Conservatives love welfare for more substantial reasons

They take more than liberals and blame the government for making them take it.
