@bloombergbusiness: "The fundamental thing that's really important is unemployment is low, and people have jobs. As long as we have that, I think the lower-end customer holds in," says Citizens Financial Chairman and CEO Bruce Van Saun. #business #economy #money #wages

We need Universal Basic Income because the economic model we rely on today is becoming less sustainable with every major leap in AI, automation, and robotics. Businesses are designed to maximize profits and reduce costs, and employees are treated as expenses on a balance sheet. Relying almost entirely on businesses to distribute survival through wages made sense in an industrial economy, but in an age of AI & automation driven productivity, we need systems that ensure technological progress benefits society as a whole, not just shareholders and executives.

That's what these CEOs depend on, American consumers doing the heavy lifting of spending. These companies tho will squeeze workers never thinking these are the same consumers they praise. Corp America is a leech on America.

Trump cancelled a 300 million dollar program for screw worm and now he's spending a billion dollars to fight screw worm. Trump ripped up a billion dollar Iran deal and is now offering 325 billion dollars to Iran to get the deal back.

Scott Buck :

yep. the middle class and the poor always have to be " resilient". always have to stretch. always have to put off "catching up" to " the future".

Dajae | Money Counselor :

The wealthy telling the middle and impoverished classes to figure it out while they have begged for handouts is INSANE!!
