Automation and repression — why the two go hand in hand
Revolts, triggered by inequality* "It's taxes or pitchforks!"
"This is the real underlying threat posed by automation: tremendous social upheaval, public unrest, and political collapse stemming from widespread unemployment and grotesque inequality.""More automation will require more redistribution to cushion the disruptive effects of automation, so as a country automates more, the tax burden will keep increasing on "capitalists"
Acemoglu, Shadmehr and Gitmez "have modelled how workers would try to coordinate in an uprising, and how a capitalist state would try to prevent an uprising occurring, in an environment in which automation and inequality are increasing."
"They say the novel finding of their paper is that automation and repression complement and reinforce each other...The economy will ultimately converge to repression and the 'pitchforks' will be met with 'guns' from the capitalist state". >>

We show that, starting in a democracy, capital accumulation and thus greater automation encourages the capitalists to support a coup against democracy and set up a repressive system." >>

Weird idea to stop #waste, #fraud, and, #abuse of #taxpayer #money.
If a #corporation's #employees qualify for #government #assistance, the corporation is required to #reimburse the assistance #program for #benefits disbursed, plus an additional percentage to cover the #cost of overhead and collection of money owed.
This would apply to employees working 30+ hours/week or who work any number of hours while holding multiple jobs.
I love my neighbors, but my #tax dollars should not be subsidizing #corporate #profit.

It seems sensible.
But given it is notionally to be funded from the tourist tax, apparently, I'd think there is a further saving to be had from extending it to tourists, thus spending less effort checking. And then, is the effort for non-resident non-tourist people above the age of youth worth making?Free travel is perhaps cheaper to run.

Freaking out about the #nationaldebt?
No worries, we are at the same percentage of #GDP that we were at the end of #WWII. All we need to do is set #tax rates to what #Eisenhower did after the war. Problem solved. And by the way, we rebuilt and expanded the country's #infrastructure in the ensuing years.
