Universal pay or universal basic income is a system where a country government pays the citizen a determined amount of income each month. The reason for this is based on the loss of jobs due to automation. There are several well-known and inventive thinkers who believe that America is headed in this direction. Individuals such as Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and Mark Zuckerberg creator of Facebook believe eventually the United States will implement universal pay. Based on the advancement in artificial intelligence, the automation of several assembly lines, and the ever-growing use of the internet. Many of the factory, servant, and blue-collar jobs will no longer exist. We already see that there is push for more people to develop technology based skills. It was not too long ago that people who worked in factories could live middle-class or almost middle-class lives. These jobs are quickly evaporating. A study by the University of Oxford estimates that 47% of U.S jobs could be replaced by robots in 10 to 20 years. The automobile industry and the trucking industry have already started the process of implementing computer operated vehicles. Their claim is that computer operated vehicle reduces accidents, reduces traffic, save on fuel and time. If this is employed on a large scale what happens to the truck drivers and cab drivers? Remember truck driver and cab drivers earn a decent salary, it is enough for them to provide for their families. If unemployed how does a truck drivers skills transfer into another growing industry? I just heard someone mention that Amazon is one the leading companies to increase employment but for every job that Amazon creates three jobs have been lost. Based on these trends and facts the government may have no choice but to utilize a universal payment system. After all, you are asking how does this affect me. First, for the universal pay system to work the wealthiest Americans will have to contribute. Rich people love money and their goal is to accumulate as much wealth as possible even if they have no use for all this wealth. They will want to reduce the number of recipients of the universal payment system. Let’s think how do you reduce the number of recipients? You must decrease the population and/or deem people ineligible for the pay. The government may institute a Muslim ban, which will decrease the number of people coming to American and becoming citizens. The government may address the illegal immigrant problem because a child of an illegal born on American soil would be eligible for payment. You could incite a race war, this would eliminate a section of recipients because there would be many casualties. In addition, to the casualties, those convicted of a crime would be ineligible for universal payment. Does any of this sound familiar? I do not have any proof of the government taking these action against its citizens and I am not sure America will adopt a universal payment system but I would put anything past them. I would even call my point of view on this subject a theory, all I am saying now is not the time to sleep. We are not in the know the people who control the world have information that we will never be aware of. History has shown that while we are being distracted other things are happening to shape the world, now there is distraction every day.
