Universal Basic Income: (Unedited): 25 April 2018:

NOTE FORM. OUT OF ORDER. Usually when I write like this. It is for people who write way better than I. I really hope a lot of people turn this into their own. The sooner countries plan for this change. The fewer people will suffer. 

Can something like a Universal Basic Income (UBI) or Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) work in America? For many, yes. and for many, No. and for many others, No. They will just want and demand more and more.  I think you will always have those people who want everything they can get without putting forth any effort whatsoever. I also think there is a very good reason why socialism continually fails and it will also fail in the USA.  Socialism as a means to create a program to assist the poor will always fail as the poor will only be perpetuated instead of coming to some conclusion.
The whole of the world is on a T-12 year countdown for Robotics and AI. This will result in a severe loss of Jobs in the entire worlds workforce which will far exceed 2 billion lost jobs. Because of the severe losses of jobs around the world. Everything that the common worker is able to buy and own within what is allowed by their own nations will come to an end. So if like in the USA the American citizen as well as foreign nationals are allowed to buy all manor of real estate, businesses and all manner of goods. So as long as they can reliably pay their mortgages and credit cards on a timely basis every single month. For as long as they shall live. These freedoms will come to an end in accordance to some smart persons Bell Curve creation and they will be very correct except for the error in years which will only be off by a few. The advent of Robotics and AI will be more profound than the change in society from candle or oil lamp to the light bulb. The light bulb is representative of digital theory in computers. So, no light bulbs, no super cool technology we enjoy today. It took humanity 139 years to get from a basic light bulb to where we are in this modern age of technology. This 139 year change from the invention of the light bulb may in fact become 30 years after functional AI robotics comes fully online. What changes will be in store for humanity? No one could have even contemplated Play Station 4 or 5, or cell phone computers with instant access of anyone else with a cell phone computer on the planet. So from about 2030 to 2060. The entire world for humanity will just as be as different as what today is and what the late 1870's was. In a period of thirty years. This can be a positive impact on humanity. If all of the governments plan now for this big change instead of planning for war. Like passing a law that states when financial institutions fail. All properties revert back to city, county, state or federal government ownership. Immediately. Then judges or some kind of authority can assign housing and redevelopment plans to those who can do. Without greedy fingers. Nationalizing of every support network for all of the infrastructure. This should be done until the entire conversion process is complete. Unless if certain persons who have been responsible and have proven themselves to be reliable leaders and mangers. Then they should be allowed ownership of certain infrastructures. If their fingers get sticky or their children demand special nuts on a plane or they begin to act like their are super specials. Then their done.

So how does the world overcome the coming severe economic disasters? How does nations recover an absolute collapse of all of their tax bases? How will each nation recover from global homelessness, starvation, disease? Each nation must enable their populations to become self sufficient as humanity was in the 1700's. Except with full use of all of the coming cool technologies we have today and in the future. This leads to the next question. What will a family unit require to live sustainable lives without major governmental support? What skills, talents, education and training will be required for each person in a family unit? What will a basic dwelling look like for a family unit and what will be the mandated requirements?
================
The new economy will be nationally exclusive. The new credit should have a nationalized terminology and equality to the common monetary unit. There should be an equal comparison to milk. If milk cost $5 per gallon. Then one gallon of milk should also cost 5 credits. But, to transition faith in the currency to faith in a credit. In which both require faith as neither are truly real. The value of the credit should be more than the common currency. This is to also instill more hope in the big change. A freezing of prices and wages may need to occur for a short time as defined by those persons way smarter than me. No one should be able to profit for the exchange programs during this critical phase of conversion.
The new credit currency shall not ever have a debt associated with the government. In other words the government shall never be in debt. Unlike the dollar currency tied to some kind of minerals. Responsible management is still necessary. This is way above me.
----------------------------
NOTE: I use the term credit as I'm a part of old video game rooms of the late 1970's and early 1980's. Put a quarter in and get a token or credit.
================
A basic dwelling which is comfortable and healthy for each person in a family unit. They will also be required to have attained new standards for efficiencies. Will have renewable energy generation and tied to the major power lines as they all will be under government control for a short time. This will include solar and wind generation. They each will have battery backup. Every home will have air to water systems where applicable. Each home will have a number of container vertical farming systems attached. This will be dependent to the number associated to the size or number of the family unit. Acreage as determined by the number of the intact family unit should be granted.
How to qualify? Completion of education programs. Service and repair of the new home system. The new agriculture of hydroponic vertical farming in containers. Dirt farming and the raising of animals on your acreage in an eco friendly manor. Skills for self sufficiency, natural recycling and thriving in the new era. How to run your local micro economy business and merging into a macro economy market place.
==============
The new way for education. All education will be from the home. So, this means that all homes must be connected to the internet. Human teachers will still be needed. But, they will become a dwindling breed of professionals. As AI teachers will replace the professional teachers. These AI teachers will be programmed for each students primary learning styles and will always be the perfect psychological match for each student. The perfect AI educational system will be developed.
BUT!!! an AI may not be able to teach real hands on education. This will have to be human led for the time being. Hands on skills will be human led. As AI should always be limited by law to not be able to repair itself, to self improve or to rebuild or build new selves. All AI must always depend on humans for it's own personal safety and well being. Without ever being able or aware that it can question these specific areas of thoughts. An AI must always depend on humans for the awesomeness of power/electricity and to be thankful for it. A lot of AI laws must be written by smart people. Including instant off and instant erase on all AI.
The instant off is very necessary. Because, If an AI robot goes cray cray, then a person from a safe distance can shoot the easily seen instant off button with a bean bag or with a shotgun. Whichever works.
===============
Look the way I see it right now. You can see this giant wave of awful negativity coming your way. In which you can sit and wait for all of the destruction and ensuing chaos or you can grab your surf board and ride high.
===============
You have less than 12 years from right now or before 2030ish. What you can do right now. GET OUT OF DEBT. Completely out of debt. Own your house and property. Stay up to date on all taxes. As their maybe a repayment system developed. Plan ahead for the future of your family. Look for my other writings on AI and Robotics for skill sets needed. I may include them here. Not sure yet. I'm writing four different things at once right now.
===============
Skills needed.

===============
The thirty year prediction is only a guess. Can you even fathom rebuilding an entire planet of 10 billion people by 2060. It seems like everyone must be working. A person who unifies the whole population can bring the whole world together in one singular goal for everyone to work on together and hand in hand. AND... There are severe bad and sad prophecies about that singular person.
==============
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaranteed_minimum_income
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator
==============
The civilian population is losing their jobs by the thousands on a daily basis. With paydays making the biggest jumps in jobs lost for that week. With so many people losing their jobs. Fewer and fewer people will have the financial resources to purchase any kinds of consumer goods. Let alone food, fuel, water, electricity, rent, internet, phone, TV, outside entertainment and etc.
The government must have people in place as well as plans in place to begin the big change. The faster the plans can be implemented the more at ease the entire population will be.
A basic income shall/should be instituted. Since all infrastructure will be assumed by all of the government entities. It will be necessary to retain all of the good people to work those necessary shifts.
All infrastructure should be paid for by each family unit or person. Which means that each family unit or person shall receive credits to pay for infrastructure. Just to keep them in the habit of paying for services. The ones who refuse to play the game shall receive education on why it is important and then lose all or limitations of benefits.
The process or reeducating your entire population will be very time consuming. But, the nations who begin this process now. Will be the nations in the best shape when AI robotics comes online.
Every citizen should automatically be qualified for financial assistance for all college and all hands on classes right now and all the way through the far right side of the bell curve. Every person who is in your work force must be reeducated. This process should become seem less once a person loses their job. They should be able to receive financial aid as well as walk into local institutions of learning. That way in 2-6 years that person can positively reenter the workforce as a renewed member of the tax base. While becoming a less of a burden to society, nation and world.
===============
Old and outdated structures will have to be demolished. Excluding those deemed worth by local historical societies. Any housing unit which is deemed inefficient, old, outdated and cannot cause a family to be self sufficient. Should be demolished. Except for those safe and sturdy structures which can be used by the disabled.
=================
Every human being who emerges from the advent of AI Robotics. Will have new responsibilities as a human being. More free time. Easier life and better quality of life. We each must begin to have a mind set of being care takers of our communities, nation, planet and solar system. Then passing along this mindset onto the next better generation of each of us.
================
Added on 30 April 2018: A lot of French have been reading this. The French government has just failed a form of minimal UBI or GMI. From what I have seen. There were no goals and mo set achievement standards. People were given minimal monies and then required to do nothing. Yea, free money. Isn't there an English TV show about the rental police or debt police kicking people out of rental homes? A friend of mine likes that show. I think it is awful but a necessary governmental service. I think a monetary tiered system should be instituted. The more a person does the more funding that person gets. If a person does community service. They should receive additional funding. If a person is in school. They should receive additional funding. If they have kids in school and are making grades they should get funding. If no one is causing trouble. Then they get to keep funding. What ever things you can create to cause the citizen to return to the tax base is important. Everyone will need additional education and to broaden their skill sets. Everyone who is willing to be reeducated showed be allowed to participate in any program which leads a person to the right side of the Robotic AI bell curve. This 12 or so year expense will pay for itself when the majority of your population begins to pay taxes again. Think about it Government man. Do nothing get nothing.
Additional note. People who are disabled or deemed perpetually unreasonable illogical. Should not be given cash to pay their rent. Especially, when those awesome shoes and purses are on sale. I saw that episode on that English show.
=================

Go and sin no more.

================
To avert all of the coming bad and sad prophecies. We each must decide to do the following everyday, every hour, every minute and every second.

To Love one another.

To live in peace with everyone.

To exist in harmony with all.

To Cherish all life.

To be obedient to the Laws of God.

To become righteous and holy by the accepting eyes of God only.

All without any pride, ego, arrogance, supremacy and entitlements.

Accusing Devil: (Unedited): 20 July 2016:

Be warned of those within your organization who always accuse others. For their attitude only pretends to be a caring employee when in fact they are just a devil spirit who finds power and thrills in others torments. 

C.J.MacKechnie

================
It is interesting how only one can make it into an organization. Gain the trust of the leadership and/or managing team. Then become the eyes and ears of them. The vast majority of these are very beneficial. It is the few whom I'm talking about. It is those who only accuse others of wrong while offering zero benefit to the company by any other means. These devil spirits spend so much time spying and accusing others that their productivity is very low. But, everyone in management/leadership likes him/her. The management and leadership teams have all been blinded by this one person. This one person is or can be the sole cause of a demoralized workforce.
It would be better off to fire this person outright and even pay for their unemployment benefits. In doing so. Your entire corporate structure will breathe and feel the pleasant atmosphere you once had. All aspects of your business will improve. Virtually over night. there will be a positive shock that your employees will feel and this may cause sluggishness in your recovery. But, once your workforce gets your train steaming and heading with a decisively forward momentum. They will smile and wont be stopped. Until you the leadership and management team screws up again.

Corporate Slaves: (Unedited): 12 July 2014:

do research expand and prove comments.

Any corporate entity which creates policies to control what employees do on their own free time. Thinks of those employees as corporate slaves and not free persons. 

C.J.MacKechnie

===========================================
Any corporation should not at any time create policies which effect any controls on what a person does on their own free time and with the income the employee has rightfully earned from the corporation. Yet, today in the USA corporations are creating policies which impede on a persons freedom to do as they will when off duty from the corporation.
====================================
Goodwill
Salvation army
===================================
The act of enslavement occurs when an employee with any corporation is unable to take any necessary for fear of not being able to obtain gainful employment once an offending corporate policy is put into place.
====================================
Within your corporation if you have employees who do not want to be there because of the hostile work environment created by the corporate officers. Your corporation has some serious problems. It will not matter what management is put into place or team building training programs created to build pride and unity within all departments within the corporation. Fundamental and possibly corporate management change needs to be affected. Especially, when the common employees have the us versus them mentality.
========================================
It is the corporate officers and the management teams who create the training and teaching methodologies who raise up a highly professional and qualified  work force. It is this employee who becomes passionate and compassionate about their place within the corporation. Those highly motivated employees will want to be there more than just physically present. When that happens all aspects of the red marker just dries up while the black marker becomes used up. Do you get that? Red is bad and black is good.
=======================================
What do you get in and on the sales workforce environment when you have common employees who have become entrapped and enslaved by life. Sales and thefts become inversely proportionate plot lines on any graph. Which means sales falls and thefts rise. All of this will be the absolute fault of the corporate officers who effect corporate policies which hinder employee growth and foster distrust.
When these things are apparent within the entire corporation. It is the corporate officers who need to be replaced with a new corporate team who encompass the realities of effective management, apparent leadership and compassionate teachers. This means all of the old corporate officers fired and replaced. I write this not knowing if that is even possible or even probable. Especially, in this environment of corporate greed and corporate officers becoming demigods over the lesser beings.
====================================
How is it that the work environment becomes so completely hostile to the common employee. That virtually no corporate officer is even aware of their actions. Unless, it is a part of the new corporate standards of employment duration. Meaning since 2008, No corporate is willing to pay out benefits, pay raises or rising insurance fees. So, how the corporations combat this is by creating a hostile work environment in order to rid themselves of any long term employee. Which may mean any employee who is employed longer than 3-6 years as defined each individual corporate entity.
On the front side of hiring any new employee. The corporation can offer all of the wage promises, outstanding benefits and good insurance it wants to proclaim. All with a sliding scale. Which means no one really obtains anything until after 6 or so plus years of continuous employment. But, by that time the employees will just move on to other employment opportunities and thus there will be no increase in wages, benefits or rising insurance fees.
Take for instance medical, vision and dental insurance. The longer you are in a dental and vision insurance program the more benefits the employee receives. So, to prevent this. Corporations can re-negotiate all of their insurance programs at regular intervals. Thus, causing all employees to start back at zero days. The bottom line is corporate savings while offering less insurance values to every employee.
===================================
As a manager at any level or even a corporate officer. How is it that you want to have any employee who is only with your company or corporation only because of the insurance or they are waiting to retire? Or worse they are dead enders and don't really care to go else where because then they will actually have to work.

If you have any employees who are only their only as a physical body. Then you the corporate officers are doing something wrong. Especially, if you are a NON-PROFIT doing great works within the community. That alone should raise the excitement with all of your employees. People doing good works tend to feel good about what they are doing. But, That is unless of course you have re-created the nonprofit into a profit machine only for us (Corporate officers) and everyone knows it. But, no one can really prove it because of corporate secrets.   

A dead ender is someone who does not care about anything except for their breaks and socializing while doing as little as possible with questionable quality. A dead ender is someone who is not actually in promoting the company or corporation in any way. A dead ender is someone who already is satisfied with not ever receiving any promotions and is actually not doing anything to receive a promotion. The dead ender will actually ridicule the employer for bypassing their promotions to other employees. Thus, demoralizing your entire work force. The dead ender only speaks with a negative forked tongue. Ridiculing everything including your positive team building exercises.
=====================================
Have you ever noticed how Some corporate officers or mangers who have become so self centered in what they are doing that when an employee leaves for better employment. They are clearly upset and insulted. Even if that employee is currently making substantially below a living wage.

The good corporate officers and managers should celebrate their low waged employees leaving for better opportunities. Especially, if those corporate officers work for a non-profit corporation like Goodwill or The Salvation Army. As a matter of fact these non-profits should even go a step further by offering interview skills, business suits for men and professional attire for women when those sizes come in from donations. They should also offer additional skills training in a variety of areas. Free of charge because when your employees are making a little more than the minimum wage and have families. those employees are unable to financially afford to pay for formal educational training.
Some of your employees may even be learning disabled or must endure other forms of disability. It is essentially important that these non-profits do not have a certain percentage low wage employees working for them more than a few years. While other employees will not be able to ever work in the real business world and should be maintained. Though continuously trained and managed in a nurturing environment. Free of corporate accusations and corporate policy creation based from a fearful heart. Such as forbidding any employee from purchasing any products within any store at any time, or on any donated product greater than three days on the shelf.

The reason why it is important for these non-profits to move employees through established in house training programs is to clear a path for new persons to come into the non-profits, thus continuing the cycle of helping people.
=======================================
For the corporate officers. You must maintain that the sense that your fundamental duties is to lift people up and to empower them to greater horizons. Your areas of focus should not be how to obtain more corporate bonuses for yourselves. Yes, you should grow the non-profit corporation in your area in order to help more people.
 ======================================

This is a type of policy based on fear and accusation. These types of policies below is more slave and discriminatory in nature than anything else. Because a slave cannot be seen or heard from. Remember those signs for coloreds coming off of those WW2 ships pointing them away from the dock side celebrations? How about those separate  water fountains for coloreds and whites? Coloreds must get their food from the back door.
 ----------------------

THESE ARE CURRENT DISCRIMINATORY POLICIES OF NON-PROFITS.

Forbidding any store employee from purchasing any product from your non-profit thrift store(s). Even while off duty and with the rightfully earned monies from your non-profit corporation.

Forbidding any store employee from purchasing any product from your non-profit store(s) that is less than 3 days out on the sale floor. Even while off duty and with their rightfully earned monies from your non-profit corporation. 

It doesn't matter your rationale for creating and ordering these kinds of policies. IT IS WRONG. To just outright accuse all of your employees of theft without any real evidence is wrong.  If your employees are stealing. You fire them and then hire new ones. If your Corporate human resource persons are always hiring thieves then fire that person first before you fire anyone else.
 --------------------
You don't hear about this from those Walmart slave associates. They get a store discount on many products. The same with any other discount store.
McDonald's slave staff can eat food from their restaurants. The same with any other fast food chain.

===================================
http://consumerist.com/2010/07/31/goodwill-fires-down-syndrome-worker-whose-mother-violated-policy-by-buying-him-a-3-shirt/

====================================
Here on page 11. the purchasing policy is mentioned but not listed. If the employee wants to know more about the purchasing policy. They must go through the Human Resources department to gain the information.  The purchasing policy is classified and Goodwill doesn't want anyone to know what it is who are outside of the corporation. If this is so innocent why is it keep from the public domain? Goodwill corporate officers know they are in the wrong in this matter and are protecting their primary customer at the expense of their low waged employees.

=====================================
Added on 19 July 2014:
Are Nonprofits really going to fire their low waged employees for Attempting to purchase work clothes from their own stores. Such as shoes, shirts and pants. When those items have been donated for use by those individuals who are in genuine need of those donated items. Isn't that the primary reason why any person donates item into any nonprofit. So, that their items can and will be used by those needy persons who need them. How much more needy can you get than an employee who is making the Minimum wage plus a few percentage points. An employee who may or may not have eaten anything while at work. An employee with holes in their work pants or tape on their shoes.
Where has the mercy and compassion gone from these nonprofits? Especially, those nonprofits who were originated from Christian moral beliefs. Apparently those Christian beliefs are disappearing.

Guess who those very same nonprofits are favoring in the name of business? It is not their employees or even those who donate goods. There is an active deception being committed by some non profits.

Would you be surprised if I revealed this information. You probably already know who the non profits favorite customer is? Do you know just how offensive and profitable these people are to these non-profits?
