@mori Absent price competition, indeed this is inevitable.

Where UBI works, it fosters recipients to start new businesses: increasing competition. The income cushion allows them to pay for basics while bringing new goods and services to their communities, that those communities can afford because of UBI.

In an economy where consolidation underwrites captive markets, spending on basics simply feeds #RentBounty to consolidated players—who then set the rules to keep competitors from their trough.

@gentrifiedrose #RentierSociety is all about harvesting the #RentBounty of #tensegrity—falling ever more robustly into stability—in furtherance of mutually symbiotic oligarch #classposture and #perquisitive classposture interests.

UBI without anti-trust reform is recipe for price gouging.

In 1970s and 80s, Bork eviscerated anti-trust law, arguing that competition was not a public good and that consolidation served consumers through low prices.

Two generations later, we have consolidated industries—unrestrained by competition—celebrating priceflation in earnings reports.

Absent reversal of Bork doctrine, UBI would feed bumper #RentBounty harvest of uncontested market—greedflation outpacing any sustenance.

Why work to fix a problem for which there is a known and viable solution when a continuous stream of #RentBounty value can be extracted from the problem being maintained in perpetuity?

This is #RentierSociety—whether in the form of white supremacy or #KayfabePanto or monetization of perpetual pandemic—where injustice itself is a renewable resource to be cultivated and harvested for the bounty-interest of oligarch #classposture and #perquisitive classposture alike.

Etymologically, a "consumer" is one who squanders or wastes (15th century). Economic discourse elides this meaning: reducing consumption to flipside of coin of production. Not negligence, but equilibrium.

#Lumpentheory speaks to bounty-motive. Born of crisis of #surplusicity, #RentBounty harvest and #perquisitive #classposture both find negligence in what is not taken, what is not gathered.

That is, colonial bounty-motive flips "consumption" on its head, renders the consumer as virtuous.

There's a reason #lumpentheory refers not to "profit" but to "bounty", i.e., #RentBounty, as the predominant motive of #RentierSociety.

Beyond 18th century senses of a premium or gratuity given a military recruit or for capture or kill of a person or animal, term originates in the 13th century as a freely given gift, favor or reward, giving us the 15th century term "bountiful", oft enough collocated as "bountiful harvest" since at least the 17th.

That is, bounty is always about reaping.

Frankly, cursed cosmology of oligarch cabal responsible for all the ills of society… shall be death of us.

If only because Usians drag so very deep of this pipe of off-label Elders demiurge opine—blowing smoke up their own arses—as if were oxygen itself.

Those of rentier #classposture sequester #RentBounty exchange-value because it serves those of #perquisitive classposture that they do so.

Perquisitive #EgoValue is vested in dispossession of others—the mass and the lever move each the other.
