This story seems a little bit weird. First of all, Google has a policy of suing the people and companies that don't pay their balances. I know this because we received a notice from them after we forgot to pay one of the bills after we advertised our website through their services. I'm not sure if this policy applies all over Europe but since I live in the EU, I can conclude that Spain must be included. Therefore, it seems unlikely to me that Google would just let one of their advertisers (regardless of the age) keep pilling on debt, month after month. Good ol' Google even erased the kid's balance. What a kind hearted company! Let me ask this question: What would happen if 100.000 clients all made the same mistake? What would Google do then?

The idea of universal basic income is absolutely wrong. It doesn't matter how many people lose their jobs. Intervention upon the economy, especially government intervention is very, very bad. This opens the door to all sorts of other problems and puts tremendous stress upon the economy. It is a fact that most of our jobs will dissapear in the near future and ALL our jobs will dissapear in the distant future. That's mainly because the concept of "job" will die as well. Androids will be able to do all the physical tasks we do and more; AI will be able to do all of our intellectual tasks and it will do them better than we can. The creative jobs, such as singing, writing, painting etc that many people believe will always be done by humans will belong to AI as well. And this is all very good. Because we do not need jobs. We never did. We need goals. Goals that we want to accomplish as individuals and as a species. Goals like extending our civilisation to other planets, becoming immortal and advancing our own intelligence to the point the we surpass the AI's that will surpass us in the near future.
