I propose a GSE to register robots for a stiff fee as a license to do business in the USA and to receive protective tariffs against unregistered robots in order to fund a UBI. For it to work it cannot be just another revenue stream. It is to support aggregate demand directly.

We need a massive increase in productivity to counter our dementia epidemic. We need a massive increase in demand to drive that productivity. We need to capture a portion of that productivity and return it to consumers to support aggregate demand.
Denial is not a strategy.

Put up a blog on special purpose vehicles and their sleight of hand machinations to move risk off ledger and more or less hide it. It's being used for data centers.

The market is selling into strength. It's taking bubble talk seriously. The employment numbers indicate creative destruction at full tilt. Traditional economics is still working.
Do you want to get ahead of the curve?

If you're relying on an investment model to time your positions you could be very very wrong one of these days. No traditional economics and no traditional model understands the Economic Singularity, robots building robots, and that moment is on the horizon.

What is the takeaway from social media these days?
UBI? Heat and very little light. Robots? Fear and denial.
Tariffs? Did you know Keynes favored certain tariffs? They are a very complex intervention in global markets.

Right at you.
I call it the Economic Singularity, when robots build robots, and productivity exceeds any possible demand. It's not so much demand insufficiency as overproduction but the net result is the same. Economic collapse.

How many Volkswagens equal a super yacht becomes a critical question in aggregate demand with AI driven robots.
It won't equalize.
