Basically — one thing you could do is a UBI, where you tax the companies and redistribute the money. We think a citizens’ dividend is slightly better. It’s a different thing — it’s more like people having stock in the companies, where they own something, rather than just getting payments — which we think is an improvement. And then, also, it’s not a tax on the companies, exactly — it’s a sort of cap-and-trade thing, where, for chips and robots, you need a permit to produce them. And the permits are sold by special government — specially set-up government institutions — and then people have stock in those institutions, basically.Unverified (Aug 25, 2026)
