What a bargain! At only $475k, I'm sure this will combat homelessness! Why aren't we doing this everywhere again?
That's why you put batteries in short range vehicles (boats, planes, cars,
They must have missed the article about the VR team who had a working demo of using WiFi bandwidths for user tracking. The video showed it as effective as using cameras.
I had that benefit at my previous company. And yeah, you can take as much time as you want. And yeah, if you cross some invisible line in the sand they can fire you. And no, that is not why I am no longer there, although that would be amusing.
What this came down to was accounting. You see, when employees accumulate time off, that counts as DEBT on the accounting books because it has to be paid out even if an employee leaves. By doing this, the company effectively wipes that slate clean. Now, they will likely make a payout to all employees for this time, so it is not like they are cheating them in any way (at least that is what happened at my previous company).
The real kicker here is that in the future, that accounting DEBT will no longer accrue, thus making the books look better on their quarterly SEC reports.

Nobody will want it unless it is a deal for them. Their old model was to essentially give money away, so yeah, it was wildly popular until they didn't have any more money to give away.

Nahh. I hate the idea of a UBI, but am OK with the format of the Fiartax Prebate:
THE FAIRTAX PREBATE
The Prebate is designed to ensure that no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level. All valid Social Security cardholders who are legal U.S. residents receive a monthly Prebate payment equivalent to the FAIRtax paid on essential goods and services, as measured by the Dept.
UBI doesn't math. A prebate can. If the govt threw a little technology at the problem and devised a system to examine prebate in realtime per individual, then it could (in theory) be applied at the point of sale. A monthly refund is more technologically achievable, tho, and it keeps all the beancounters at the IRS employed.
