I'm saying it shouldn't, it should instead be distributed to the people. It should be used for something like UBI.

Which goes through the government.

Again if you want more income for those at the bottom you want efficient tax methods and 100% is not an efficient tax method since people will do EVERYTHING they can to avoid it. If people can accept a tax rate, they will pay it. Well a lot more people will pay it.

Depends how good the robots get.

Tell your local politicians that measures that give people more money are good for the economy. Maybe that will make them listen.

That is always been true. You don't need the AI.

I get what you're saying but an AI cooking me a sandwich (also what's "cooking" a sandwich) is like the easiest thing in the world. That could very easily be automated.

Ok great. He can go and live in there while we ignore him.

These bunkers are a boondoggle, what's the plan here, is he going to stay in there until civilisation rebuilds itself into a capitalist system. If so he's going to be waiting a while.

Money is a way to get people to do things they wouldn't otherwise do.

If you don't have automation you either have to have money or slavery. One of the other is required to keep society going otherwise no one's going to do the crappy jobs. Since someone has to do the crappy job you have to find a way to incentivise them and that's money or whips. Don't kid yourself into believing that money isn't necessary, it is.

It does matter. How much worth is helping a friend? Or how much money for your neighbors for caring your pets while you‘re in holidays?

Don’t you think they will refuse to take money for this favor? Not everything in humankind can be paid for.

I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.

I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.

Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.

I think you've answered your own questions. Money doesn't have to be actual cash it can be bartering, I.e. I'll give you five carrots in exchange for your help to build this barn

But what if they don't need carrots right now, well you can give them a IOU for carrots whenever they want, and now you've invented money

Sorry but this is a primary schools‘ view on money. I know this is how it been taught at school and this is entirely wrong.
