I'm definitely cancelling Hulu and Disney+ this month to avoid their pending increases.

I'm probably making moves to cancel Amazon prime before the add thing. I've been feeding that beast for far too long. : /

Ok, settle down there, Ivan. You have other posts to spread your apologist views to. Don't let this one detain you.

We've sort of gone beyond the taxation phase, in my humble opinion. The world is on fire. It's really time for more drastic moves and we can't afford to keep coddling the wealthy.

The first part is kind of what I'm hoping for. AI and machines in general seem like they're somewhat poised to take over most human activity. Historically, this has been more of a blue collar problem with machines taking over factory positions and such, making a very dystopian future quite probable. However, recent advances have shown that we're all likely on the chopping block, from street sweepers to high powered lawyers and corporate executives. An even playing field seems like it would be more likely to lead to things like universal basic income, as human toil on all levels is rendered obsolete.
