    Agreed, but sounds more like socialism with authoritarian overtones. I don’t see why we’d need UBI

      I agree with the socialism part, but I’m not picking up on the authoritarian overtones. I would want a system like this to be flexible to meet the basic living needs of each person and would view it as more of a stepping stone to a post-scarcity society.

        The whole social credit thing sounds like something that could easily be taken away depending on your political beliefs

          That’s where things like decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and smart contracts could come into play. Maybe we could start implementing this without ever involving the government at all.

        Fair: government provides cheaper alternatives to food retailers and housing, forcing said entities to push their prices down to compete.

        No credit needed, no single source for food or shelter.

        That’s my whole solution.
