Planetary basic income as political goal

@SenSanders

Capitalism is going deeper into crisis and the current status quo (which Clinton seems to want to hold intact) that no replacing jobs are created and there seem to be no politicians pushing for planetary basic income funded from sharing the revenue streams generated by invested capital.

Due to human productivity the feasibly employable capital is growing constantly (unless we already dunn wreck the weather and will suffer from it) and this in conjunction by the scientific-technical advances, new service innovation and vast efficiency gains from self-service automation and full automation in ICT  drives growth of service productivity. These  should enable to pay planetary basic income.

Take away cab driver, bus driver, delivery truck driver, trucker and farm equipment operators’ jobs is what the automators are now proposing so you see that this decline of capitalism ain’t gonna be happy time for the middle-class and proles either.

I know the people who publicly advocate total despotic enforcement of maximal greed everywhere all the time by the invisible green hand (read: mostly republicans) fathomed by Adam Smith don’t want it totalitarian for those they consider their kin. Maybe peoples of the Earth need to rethink how they divide to kin/non-kin.

Call me commiemist, I’ll slice, dice and red red hot hot salsa salsa till everyone’s gotten something to eat and if there is more resources then I’ll crêpes with jam and whipped cream for dessert.

 

Here is an infographic:

“When you increase the buying power of the not-so-well off ones it all goes to their consumption which drives the economy forward. When you tax the rich it doesn’t come out of their spending but their (highly speculative and debt levered) investments (which are often not connected to the development of the real economy at all).”

Installation of Hubzilla alongside diaspora* and GNU social

I just set into propagation the subdomain for installation of Hubzilla.  Hubzilla logo here

Also goings ons include moving DNS records from Espoo hosting guys to Gandi.net.

Consum(er)ium #freesome users can therefore anticipate short outages today (2016-03-07) and tomorrow as I improve by introducing the 3rd contender heavily in the #freesome game:

  • https://github.com/redmatrix/hubzilla/blob/master/install/INSTALL.txt

Updated this WordPress and installed the wp-gnusocial plugin

The wp-gnusocial plugin automates cross-posting of posts from this #wordpress onto my #GNUsocial account. I’m @juboxi@social.consumium.org

Join #freesome at https://social.consumium.org or any other federated node listed here to discuss the posts and to connect with me.

GNU social is a promising up-and-coming federated #freesome network and naturally the software

 

First experiences with MaidSafe Network downloadables: MaidSafe Launcher and MaidSafe Demo App 0.0.1

MAID == Massive Array of Internet Disks

SAFE == Secure Access for Everyone

In ze Internets people have been watching this endeavour by the brave Scots very very carefully and keenly for a few years. If all goes well MaidSafe.net will make the current Internet the “Legacy Internet” rapidly by providing a shared digital commons wealth unseen before. https://forum.safenetwork.io is the community forum where you can catch the gist of how excited people are about MaidSafe Network and it’s significance to the future of population of Planet Earth.

Technically this endeavour is very bold and ambitious. The key people have donated all their patents, papers and code to the nonprofit MaidSafe Foundation though there is also a MaidSafe Ltd registered in Scotland to enable professional staff for the ongoing development and deployment effort. Funds were raised by selling off 10% of the ceiling of SafeCoin (cryptocash) amount (4-gigacoins) to an enthusiastic crowd. So you get the gist that these are highly creative individuals pushing the envelope onto the future.

Last week http://maidsafe.net/ published it’s first downloadables that allow people to discover the MaidSafe test network. Word of caution: The test network is wiped occasionally when required by devops.

MaidSafe Launcher 0.3.0 – This is for connecting to the network – The login consists of three things: a pin, a keyword and a password. I don’t fully know what is the purpose of the “keyword” and the test network is getting reset whenever necessary for development and the credentials stop working because the secret identity that allows you to access your public identity no longer is there in the testnet.

Choose Pin, Keyword and Password to make anonymous identity on the network that you can bind public ids and services to

After entering the credentials the Launcher will log on to the network to act as a gatekeeper to apps that want privileges to touch your public and private directories and files

Now start the MaidSafe App and it asks the Launcher to ask you for privileges.
