More abt. AI potential impact on India:

Services Exports:

Beyond physical merchandise, India is a global juggernaut in service exports, which recently reached roughly \(\$387\) billion annually. This sector is led by IT and Business Process Management (BPM), but has rapidly expanded to include professional, financial, and digital services.

(All easy to replace even at early stages of AI).

Carib, countries like India would need to solve it with direct distribution of food and essentials more than money.

The question, do you see this evitable or inevitable?

05-24-26  carib

Panas: what should be the monthly UBI in India, in your opinion?

05-24-26  panasonic

Carib, will society need UBI or lot of hot air inside the AI story?

05-24-26  carib

AI impact certainly concerns all of us.. and even more out children and grandchildren..

05-24-26  panasonic

Carib, yes clearly remote working does not apply to colores.

AI impact in the future and how it plays out maybe interesting to some of us.

Panas: so do you (have the possibility to prefer)

05-24-26  panasonic

"The UK triple lock pension system is clearly unsustainable"

Add UBI and will blow in a thousand pieces.

"I prefer UCI"

Indeed, you are a very special "remote worker", private beach in the Carib, properties in several countries, of course you get to "prefer" :-)))

05-24-26  carib

The UK triple lock pension system is clearly unsustainable, IMHO.
Colores opted for moving out from such failed systems in the previous century, I believe.
Our kids are well advised to stay out of the system.. unless they profit from it.. and if they are able to..

Panas: fortunately, UBI is just an academic bad idea, for now.
To work properly, it should NOT be "universal".. and big brother should know everything about everybody.
It was tried in Italy by a populist government: it was a financial disaster (as expected) marred by large scale fraud.
I prefer UCI.

Last post for Hann.

05-24-26  panasonic

Nice, sounds pretty nice congrats!

How abt. ethnic diversity?

05-24-26  panasonic

"because they have UCI"

Carib, post is focused on ongoing discussion of remote workers, of course.

My UBI point is, for those who want to live in a cheaper country dont qualify, otherwise becomes one Gov. funds "others".

Take UK for instance, if I worked and contributed to the pension fund, I can use money rcvd wherever I want (tdy UK retirees are part of Spanish growth).

UBI can't be treated same way, as money comes from Gov. pockets.

Hann - "We have a place in Fukuoka" ... very cool.
---

Yup yup. Does not have the highs and frenzy of tokyo but really not bad. Lucked out on v nice house w courtyard, parking, 2F deck overlooking neighborhood park and greenspace where we grill wagyu and scallops etc. Super location in Akasaka. Just 5 min walk to Keyaki dori - tree lined shopping street, 5+ mins to main lake/castle ruins park/art museum, 20-30 min walk to Daimyo (ometesando equivalent) and Tenjin (combo ginza and marounochi).

Fukuoka imho really a good deal, high QOL, very safe. Enough to do and can explore kyushu.

05-24-26  carib

Panas: I always thought UBI should be for citizens, not for visitors, and be national, not universal, because income levels globally differ.
Colores are unconcerned, because they have UCI (universal capital income)

Savo: the point of the 7% solution, in my opinion, is twofolds..
1) you pay 7% on the declared pension, but the rest of offshore assets, if properly structured, can stay tax free
2) there is no 183 days rule enforceable, so in practice you can spend the summer on your beach, and the rest elsewhere as you please, provide you spend over 6 months in the EU, and most of your italian time on the said beach.
you can get your health care in switzerland or elsewhere, just by footing the bill there.

05-24-26  panasonic

Fwiw, not sure when but eventually AI will kill big part of remote jobs.

In near future, if well conceived, UBI should be restricted to those who live in their country.

UBI is not a pension, given to people that prepaid during their working days, so yes, retired are free to relocate.

iranians saying DT pipe dreaming

05-24-26  savo

carib.. that is what i suspected...if one likes long sandy beaches... the 7% option is a municipality in Sardinia... which is not bad... if one can find medical attention!

Republican politicians warn Iran ceasefire deal could strengthen Tehran, would be 'disaster'

Savo: in the summer, most beaches reachable by land are crowded, in Italy.
But I have my private Carib beach that you are welcome to share (in the carib)..
;-)
