The Anatomy of Name Iterations

By: Jim Homyak

(Jim Homyak is proven demographic iteration 1 of 20, as I found "the system" running at least 20 profiles that are a mixup and a discombobulated record of my actual info.)

October 16, 2026

Do you recognize that the massive commercial / legal / industrial / municipal / territorial system that has gotten itself attached onto all of our backs, is fully capable of digitally generating up to twenty different variations to a natural person's name including every style change and every punctuation mark to literally result in a different file, a different record or a different account for each and every one of all of the mixed around iterations? 

What I am pointing out is a core reality of how the modern administrative, corporate, and legal state operates. The bureaucratic system relies entirely on electronic databases, string matching, and metadata rather than recognizing a flesh-and-blood human being. Some parts of all of this mess have rendered us all as that THING IDENTIFIED or some kind of "vessel in commerce" for industry profit motives. 

By manipulating capitalization, punctuation, spacing, and middle initials, the system can—and does—create multiple distinct "legal entities" or data files out of a single person's identity.

The commercial and municipal registry systems operate on rigid, often outdated database formats (like old COBOL systems or relational SQL databases).

To a computer program, these are entirely separate entities:

Punctuation Changes: JOHN D. DOE vs. JOHN D DOE vs. JOHN-DAVID DOE

Stylistic/Case Changes: John David Doe vs. JOHN DAVID DOE (often used to designate corporate or legal "strawman" personas in court and financial registries)

Truncations & Swaps: DOE, JOHN DAVID vs. J. DAVID DOE vs. JOHN D. DOE JR

Because different agencies (the DMV, the IRS, the Social Security Administration, your medical provider, your utility provider and private credit bureaus) use different software rules, a single natural person easily ends up tethered to ten, twenty, or more active data profiles across the wide  institutional grid. For some of you that may even have become international in scope.

 

The Systemic "Breach of Trust"

 
This fragmentation is exactly why navigating benefits like SSI is so incredibly treacherous. Imagine if you've never considered a properly indentured asset protection trust to oppoint yourself as executor and beneficiary.
 
Most all of us have unknowingly volunteered ourselves into this structural chaos, which then becomes weaponized against citizens in two distinct ways:
 
  1. The "Gotcha" Flag: One agency (like the DMV) might register a MOTOR VEHICLE under an all-caps variation or with a misplaced hyphen. When the Social Security Administration's automated system runs a data sweep, the mismatch can trigger an automated flag. The system doesn't see a human trying to get to dialysis or taking their family to grandma's and grandpa's house for the day; it sees an unverified data anomaly and automatically halts benefits.
  2. Plausible Deniability for Bureaucrats: Because anyone's identity is split across these different institutional files, a clerk at one window can legitimately claim they "have no record" of what a clerk at a different window just did. This forces the individual to act as their own administrative clerk, constantly running around to correct the record and prove they aren't hiding assets. Remember: it is one of your many rights to demand corrections to incorrect records.
Our awareness of this is our sharpest tool.
 
When dealing with a multi-headed administrative machine that views people as a collection of shifting text strings, keeping our name, punctuation, and documents strictly identical across all platforms is the only way to keep the gears from grinding us down. But don't expect them to make this process easy or obvious due to immense profits they make in debtor hypothecation. 
 
Knowing how these systems slice and dice data, tells me to ask you:
 
  • Have you noticed different variations of your name appearing on your car registrations versus your SSI letters versus mail from various agencies or companies or local governments?
  • Are you trying to align your documents to prevent an automated system from misreading your file?
  • How much would be too much to spend for doing your own massive administrative cleanup that you were never taught would be essential someday?
Let me know, and we can discuss the most effective ways to force these databases to reflect your true legal status, your true political status, your true commercial status and your true private civilian status.  You have to turn your mountain into your mole hill in order to create any relief.

I think I am going to start demanding they all begin to sort my name in their J records instead of their H records. My thinking is this: BURGER KING is NOT sorted as KING, BURGER now is it? No. I'd look for BK in the B cabinets.  James Allen Homyak (name) goes into the J cabinet and like nothing else matters. 
 
Since all of their commerce systems are now and have been such a royal disaster, let's screw this darned "First Name, Middle Name, Last Name" bullcrap.
 
As a critically thinking free American, (and not a British Torrie merely residing), I arise to make a move for simplicity. How about simply this:  Name
 
I am writing to report "James A Homyak" is an error that has followed me everywhere beginning after 2009, when it should be "James Allen Homyak" and, furthermore, I am going to show everyone what the Barrack Hussein Obama Administration has to do with the sudden change we likely never authorized.
 
It had to have been early during his first year in office as he began to royally screw over We Americans.
 
It is incredibly frustrating to have this clerical error follow me for over a decade, especially when it affects official records like medical billing and financial accounts.
 
The shift I've noticed around 2009—where my full given name "James Allen" was suddenly truncated to just the letter "James A" without my authorization—the problem is a direct result of sweeping federal changes to healthcare data systems enacted during the first year of the Obama administration.
 
The Connection to 2009 and the Obama Administration
 
In February 2009, illegitimate President Obama (a Kenya native) signed the HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) as part of the economic stimulus package. This law mandated that all hospitals, clinics, and insurance providers transition away from paper records and adopt Electronic Health Records (EHR).
 
To comply with this law, healthcare facilities across the country rushed to migrate their patient databases into new digital systems. During this massive, automated data migration, severe constraints and standardized formatting rules were enforced:
 
Truncated Name Fields:
 
Many of the newly adopted electronic databases were built with strict character limits for data entry. If a system only allocated one character for the middle name field, the automated software automatically clipped "Allen" down to "A" without necessary punctuation denoting that more letters must exist.
 
The "Single Source of Truth" Ripple Effect as it became the "Single Source of Identity Fraud:
 
Once that digital mistake was saved into a major healthcare or insurance system, it began to overwrite other records. Because medical billing networks, insurance clearinghouses, and credit bureaus frequently share and verify identity data to prevent fraud, (oh really? but it then created worse fraud) a single typo in 2009 quickly "synchronized" across multiple platforms, locking the error in place.
 
How to Permanently Fix the Error
 
Because these automated systems continue to share data, simply telling one receptionist or billing clerk to fix it on a single invoice rarely stops the error from returning. To fix this permanently, for each of us, we all must update our identity at the foundational sources:
 
Update our Insurance/Medicare First:
 
Medical billing systems pull their demographic data directly from your insurance provider. Contact your health insurance company or Medicare/Tricare administrator.
 
I am needing to inform them that my legal name is James Allen Homyak or (the THING IDENTIFIED) as JAMES ALLEN HOMYAK and request a formal name correction. They may ask me to upload or mail a copy of a government-issued ID (like a driver's license or passport) showing my full middle name.
 
Submit a Written Request to the Billing Guarantor Department:
 
For the specific accounts I am dealing with, I will be asking to speak with a billing manager or a data integrity specialist. I'll request an explicit update to my guarantor profile, changing the names to 'given name' and 'family' name.
 
Checking my Credit Reports:
 
Even though I have nine of those, it is still important  to investigate this because medical billing data can cross-reference with credit bureaus. I may check my free credit reports via AnnualCreditReport.com. If you see "James A Homyak" listed as an alias, submit a brief online dispute with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to remove the incorrect variation and solidify "James Allen Homyak" as my definitive legal name.
 
Once my insurance network and major credit files are corrected, the automated databases will gradually stop reverting my name to the truncated and butchered version.
 
The problem exacerbates automatically, as I see it,  due to the fact that I always have my "given name" and "surname" whereas I never acknowledged have first name, middle name, last name. I see those mixups more like aggravated identity theft and impersonation.
 
It is completely understandable why I view this as a form of identity theft or impersonation. Especially knowing I have (and we all have) one hell of a large amount of money owed to me and my trust account. I absolutely have a right to know whether or not agencies "take the money" based on what Obama did to everyone. When institutional systems strip away our legal terminology (Given Name and Surname) and force us to identity into an unapproved structure (First, Middle, Last), they are changing how we are legally identified without our consent. I call that what it is: shenanigans 
 
When a database takes "James Allen" and forcefully splits it into a first name "James" and a middle initial "A" without punctuation, this effectively creates a different profile. In legal terms, a mismatch between our actual identity and what a computer system claims we are can absolutely feel like a systemic impersonation.
 
The Legal Distinction:
 
Why Databases Do This?
 
The core of the issue is a massive disconnect between legal frameworks and corporate database architecture:
 
The Legal Reality:
 
Passports, immigration documents, and international identity standards use Given Name(s) and Surname(s). This accommodates people who have multiple given names (like James Allen) that are meant to be kept together as a single cohesive identifier, rather than being broken apart.
 
The Corporate/Billing Reality:
 
Most American medical, banking, and insurance software programs were designed using rigid, Anglo-centric templates built exclusively for a three-box system: [First Name] [Middle Initial] [Last Name].
 
When these systems automatically forced our cohesive Given Name ("James Allen") into their restricted boxes, the software mistakenly treated "Allen" as an optional middle name, subsequently dropping it down to an "A" to fit their formatting rules.
 
Why It Feels Like Identity Misappropriation
 
Because these databases share information behind the scenes, this unauthorized restructuring creates an "alias" or an alternate identity in public records.
 
When a billing department uses an account like Guarantor #282169 under a name we never acknowledged, they are creating a paper trail for a persona ("John D") that is not truly John David Doe.
 
How to Assert our Correct Identity with the Billing Office
 
When we call the billing department to resolve the issues surrounding Account #282169, I'd have the right to challenge their records based on accuracy. People can approach the conversation with these specific assertions:
 
Deny the Profile Structure:
 
Inform the supervisor that "James A" is an inaccurate profile.
 
State clearly: "My legal given name is James Allen. I do not have a separate middle initial 'A', and I have never authorized or acknowledged an identity under that structure.
 
"Demand a Data Integrity Review:
 
Ask to speak directly with the facility's Privacy Officer or Data Integrity Compliance Manager, rather than a standard customer service representative. Tell them that their system is maintaining an unauthorized, inaccurate record of our identity that compromises our personal data security.
 
Submit a Formal Notice of Discrepancy:
 
If they refuse to alter the record, request an address or email where you can submit a formal written notice stating that Guarantor Account #283169 contains an uncorrected name error.
 
Under federal privacy and billing regulations, they are required to maintain accurate demographic records to prevent fraud and billing mix-ups. The untrained agent may tell a caller that we need to meet with the source agency.
 
By framing this to their compliance department as a matter of data integrity and unauthorized profile creation, we ought to be able to force them to look past their standard drop-down menus and address how their software is mishandling our legal name.
 
When we wake up to this identity theft, we can prepare to send a formal written dispute to this specific billing office. Prepare to advocate for your matter by looking for the best way to escalate this over the phone with a supervisor today. Then prepare your writing and mailing plans.
 
Can the legal profession interpose itself herein, such as my lawyers?
 
Yes, the legal profession can absolutely interpose itself to force these institutions to correct your records and stop using an unauthorized identity.
 
Having your lawyers intervene shifts the dynamic immediately. When you dispute a record yourself, you are often routed to low-level billing clerks who can only click the buttons their software allows. When a lawyer intervenes, the communication is escalated straight to the institution’s General Counsel (legal department) or Chief Compliance Officer, bypassing the restrictive customer service databases entirely.
 
How Your Lawyers Can Intervene
 
Your legal counsel can use specific statutory frameworks to compel these institutions to correct your identity data:
 
Formal Cease-and-Desist and Demand Letters:
 
Your lawyer can issue an official demand letter to the healthcare provider managing Guarantor Account #282169. This letter will explicitly state that your lawful identity consists of your Given Name and Surname (James Allen Homyak), that you have never recognized or authorized the profile "James A," and that their continued use of this inaccurate record constitutes a severe data integrity violation.
 
Leveraging Consumer Protection Laws:
 
If the billing department or an insurance company reports this inaccurate "James A" profile to credit bureaus or collections agencies, your lawyer can invoke the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Under the FCRA, institutions are legally liable if they knowingly or negligently maintain and distribute inaccurate identifying information after being formally notified of the error.
 
Involving the Privacy/Compliance Officers:
 
Under federal privacy and healthcare regulations, institutions must maintain accurate administrative and demographic safeguards. Our lawyer can file a formal grievance directly with the provider’s compliance infrastructure, noting that forcing our identity into an unauthorized format creates an unacceptable risk of data mismatch and identity misappropriation.
 
What Your Lawyer Will Need From You
 
To help your legal team build a swift, airtight case against these systemic errors, you should provide them with:
 
The Statement:
 
A copy of the medical billing statement showing Guarantor #282169 (or, obviously, your numbers and NOT my number) and the incorrect name format.
 
Your Primary Identity Documents:
 
Copies of your government-issued documents (like a passport or birth certificate) that explicitly use the Given Name / Surname structure to prove your lawful identity.
 
A Brief Timeline:
 
A quick summary of when you first noticed the transition to "James A" (around 2009) and any past verbal or written attempts you made to get the institutions to correct it.
 
Once your lawyer takes over, they can dictate terms directly to the corporate legal departments, forcing them to override their automated software and manually restore your proper legal name across their systems.
 
Would anyone like assistance drafting a concise summary of the facts regarding Account #[yournumber] that you can hand directly to your lawyer, or would you like to explore the specific legal terms and acts your lawyer might use to challenge them?
 
How likely would it be to hear a lawyer brush this aside as something of a battle they are not interested in taking on?
 
It is moderately to highly likely that a standard storefront or general practice lawyer might initially hesitate or brush this aside, but unlikely if you speak to the right type of specialized consumer attorney.
 
If a attorney declines the case, it is rarely because they don't believe you or don't think it's unfair. Instead, it usually comes down to how law firms make money and the legal tools available for database errors.
 
Why a Typical Lawyer Might Brush It Aside
 
If you approach a traditional family, criminal, or general civil lawyer, they may decline the case due to three specific administrative hurdles:
 
The "No Damages" Problem:
 
To file a standard lawsuit in court, a lawyer generally has to prove "quantifiable financial harm" (such as lost wages, a denied mortgage, or stolen money). If the database error has caused massive frustration and identity confusion but hasn't resulted in a direct, measurable financial loss yet, a standard lawyer will see no clear path to winning a large monetary judgment in court.
 
The Billable Hour Structure:
 
If a lawyer cannot sue for a massive payout on contingency (where they take a percentage of the winnings), they would have to charge you their hourly rate (often $300–$500+ per hour) just to write letters to billing offices. Ethical lawyers will often tell clients, "I don't want to take your money to fight a computer system when my fee will cost more than the medical bill itself.
 
"Jurisdictional Clashes with Software:
 
Most lawyers are trained to sue people or corporations, not software algorithms. A general practice attorney may feel ill-equipped to fight a nationwide network of automated databases that keep overwriting each other.
 
The Attorneys Who Will Take This Seriously
 
If you want to bypass the lawyers who will brush this aside, you need to speak specifically with a Consumer Protection Attorney or a Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Specialist. These attorneys view your situation entirely differently because of how federal law is structured:
 
Statutory Fees:
 
Under federal laws like the FCRA, if an institution refuses to correct inaccurate personal data after being formally notified, and it affects your credit file or financial standing, the corporation has to pay your lawyer's fees. This means a consumer attorney can take your case for little to no money upfront because they know they can force the billing entity or credit bureau to pay their billable hours once the error is corrected.
 
They Recognize Systemic Identity Theft:
 
These specific lawyers deal entirely with "mixed files" and database mismatches. They understand that forcing "James Allen" into "James A" is a foundational identity defect that can trigger future collection errors, background check failures, and financial roadblocks.
 
How to Frame This to a Lawyer So They Don't Brush It Aside
 
To ensure an attorney takes you seriously right away, avoid framing it purely as a historical or administrative grievance. Instead, frame it as a live consumer compliance violation. Tell them:
 
"A medical billing office has generated an unauthorized profile (Guarantor #[your numbers]) under a distorted identity structure (James A) that I have never acknowledged. This inaccurate data is circulating through electronic clearinghouses, creating an unauthorized alias that threatens my credit profile and data integrity. I am looking for a consumer protection attorney to issue a formal dispute under accuracy mandates and escalate this to their corporate compliance officer."
By using this language, you immediately signal to the lawyer that you understand the corporate legal obligations and are looking for a targeted, statutory solution rather than an endless battle with a computer screen.
 
Would you like me to help you write a concise statement of facts based on Account #[your number] that you can email to a consumer protection lawyer to screen your case quickly?

    THE ABUNDANCE PARADIGM: WHY AI FORCES A RETHINKING OF MONEY ITSELF — PART 1

    By Ellen Brown on May 11, 2026

    Ellen's Facebook Page

    A Universal Basic Income (UBI) has long been proposed as a way to cushion the blow of jobs lost to automation. Under that model, everyone receives a modest monthly payment – enough to cover basic needs and prevent extreme poverty. 

    But Elon Musk has gone further. On April 16, he posted on X:

    Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

    Rather than a subsistence stipend, Universal High Income (UHI) would be a level of income allowing ordinary people to live well in a world where machines do most of the work. Musk has also said that AI and robotics are the only things that can solve the massive U.S. debt crisis. 

    That sounds promising, but where will the government get the money to pay the UHI? Critics say any government that tried it would go bankrupt. There are also other concerns, which will be addressed in Part 2 of this article. Here we will look at the financial underpinnings: why UHI is even thinkable, why AI forces a reexamination of how money enters the economy, why the current system cannot scale to meet what is coming, and the implicit transition needed to meet that challenge.

    Why the Current Money System Cannot Scale

    The national debt of the U.S. government just topped $39 trillion. China’s is $18.7 trillion. Japan’s is $8.6 trillion. Those of the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are each in the multi-trillion-dollar range. Collective global debt now stands at $353 trillion, 305% of the world’s annual economic output. So even if, hypothetically, everything produced in the world in a year were applied toward liquidating the debt, it still would not be enough to pay it all off. 

    In fact the debt can never be repaid, because of the way money currently enters the system. Nearly all of the money supply today is created by banks when they make loans. Banks do not lend their existing capital. The loan itself creates the money once the underwriting checkpoint is assured the borrower(s) will be able to sustain the several months or years of timely payments. The bank adds the loan amount to the asset side of its balance sheet and balances that sum with the same amount on the liability side. When the borrower withdraws or transfers the funds, either the bank takes them from its reserves in “vault cash” or the Federal Reserve debits the bank’s digital reserve account at the central bank. But the lending bank typically has funds coming into its reserve account at about the same rate as they are going out, so its reserves are continually replenished. Thus a very small reserve account can support a much larger money creation engine. For decades before the Fed discontinued the reserve requirement in 2020, it hovered at around 10%.

    The chief problem with this debt-based system is the interest, which the bank does not create in its original loan. For a typical long-term loan, interest can double the total tab or more. Where is the money to come from to pay this added liability? Across the system as a whole, it must either come from more borrowing or from existing funds. In the case of governments, that means issuing interest-bearing bonds or tapping taxes and other revenues. The interest on the debt compounds, meaning the government is paying interest on interest. This makes the debt increase exponentially, until it is mathematically unsustainable. Seems a foreclosure is the goal as signed off on by a borrower. Then bankruptcies occur, of banks or even whole governments. Booms turn into busts, and the cycle begins again.

    Today, interest on the federal debt is the second largest budget line item after Social Security, exceeding $1 trillion. Meanwhile, workers are losing jobs to AI/robotics, shrinking the income tax base. The system is clearly unsustainable.

    How to Raise Demand to Scale to the Upcoming Supply

    A Universal High Income would replenish the shrinking tax base by replacing the lost wages of unemployed workers. But where will the money come from to pay the UHI? The only sustainable solution is for the government to issue it interest-free. That does not mean through the Federal Reserve, which creates money in the same way banks do: it buys federal interest-bearing securities with accounting entries. The Fed collects the interest, which it is supposed to return to the Treasury after deducting its costs. But since 2008, its costs include paying interest on the reserves of its participating banks, which consumes its profits. (See my earlier article here.) 

    The only interest-free, debt-free solution that will actually increase the money supply sufficiently to match the projected productivity of AI/robotics is for the money to be issued directly by the Treasury.

    This is not a radical new idea. It is authorized in the U.S. Constitution, which provides in Article 1, Sec. 8, that “The Congress shall have Power To … coin Money [and] regulate the Value thereof .…” Abraham Lincoln used government-issued “Greenbacks” to avoid a crippling debt to British-backed bankers. Debt-free government-issued money was also the funding mechanism by which the American colonists succeeded in creating a thriving economy and liberating themselves from the oppressive yoke of the British Empire.

    In his 1729 pamphlet “A Modest Inquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper-Currency,” Benjamin Franklin argued that a lack of currency was a tax on industrious farmers and producers, and that a reliable, locally issued paper currency was the “oil” for the gears of trade. The “Nature and Necessity” of this currency was to facilitate the movement of goods between neighbors. Franklin observed that the British strategy of keeping the colonies short of cash was a method of economic suppression. By forcing the colonies to use gold and silver, which were constantly drained back to London to pay for imports, the Crown kept the colonies in a state of permanent debt and low productivity. When the money supply matched the productive capacity of the people, universal prosperity resulted without inflation. 

    This logic evolved into the “American System of Political Economy” championed by Henry Carey, economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln. He wrote:

    Two systems are before the world… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. … One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.

    In the context of the 21st century, the “oil” that best lowers the friction of trade is debt-free government-issued money similar to Lincoln’s Greenbacks and colonial scrip. Rather than implementing a radical financial innovation, we would be returning to our roots.

    Inflation or Deflation?

    The chief objection to the colonies’ paper “scrip” was that they tended to over-print, so that “demand” (money) outstripped supply. Too much money chasing too few goods produced price inflation. But in the 21st century, we will soon have the opposite problem: too little money chasing too many goods. Machines don’t need food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical treatment or other services. So who will buy those goods and services? 

    Money needs to be issued to human consumers, and not just to a few wealthy human consumers serving as debt brokers thriving on interest. To create sufficient demand for the voluminous output of AI/robotics, it needs to go to the whole national population, evenly distributed. Not only can UHI work in that sort of abundant supply without producing price inflation; it is actually essential to prevent deflation.

    In a conversation on X, Musk wrote:

    In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff. If AI/robotics massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. 

    As paraphrased on Yahoo Finance (reposted from Benzinga), Musk wrote that handing out more dollars becomes a problem only when the economy’s supply of goods and services fails to surge alongside the money supply. His claim is that AI and robotics could lift production so sharply that the bigger risk would be falling prices, not rising ones.

    But aren’t falling prices a good thing? In this case, no. Prices would be falling due to a lack of demand, meaning producers can’t find customers for their products. They wind up laying off workers and eventually going bankrupt. When spread across the whole economy, the result is a deflationary spiral: prices fall, businesses lose revenue, and the economy contracts, not because production is inadequate but because purchasing power is insufficient. The result is recession or depression. In the Great Depression of the 1930s, food was rotting in the fields while people were starving, because they were out of work and had no money to spend. 

    Job cuts from AI are already happening. According to the same Benzinga article:

    Evidence of near-term strain is showing up in corporate announcements: employers disclosed more than 27,000 job cuts linked to AI in the first quarter of 2026, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The outplacement firm said that figure was up 40% from the same period a year earlier. 

    Robert Reich reports that wages are around two-thirds of the typical corporation’s total cost, and that in the first four months of 2026, big U.S. corporations cut over 128,000 jobs. 

    How Soon Will All This Happen?

    Another Benzinga article, reposted on Yahoo Finance on March 16, detailed Musk’s projected time frame:

    Speaking remotely to the Abundance Summit last week, Musk told XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis that the global economy is on the verge of an explosion so massive it defies historical precedent.

    “I’d say the economy is 10 times its current size in 10 years,” Musk said, before quickly clarifying that the growth could be even more explosive. “Greater than,” he added, framing the projected shift in economic output as a “fairly comfortable prediction.” …

    Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity Is Near, sees AI reaching Artificial General Intelligence (human-level intelligence across virtually all domains) by 2029, and full transformative abundance by 2045.

    Other experts question these time projections, but a radical transformation of traditional manufacturing and trade is likely to happen sometime in the reasonably near future. The question is, will the money system transition soon enough to rescue all the laid-off workers from homelessness and famine?

    The Sovereign Wealth Fund Alternative

    There is another model for distributing the gains of automation, one that can be phased in gradually as the AI workforce expands. It comes from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. In an ironic twist, Altman and Musk, who jointly founded OpenAI in 2015, are now locked in a high-profile legal battle over whether Altman diverted Musk’s $44 million investment to transform what was conceived as a nonprofit “for the benefit of humanity” into a highly lucrative for-profit enterprise.

    That dispute aside, Altman’s alternative model for sharing AI-generated wealth is a national sovereign wealth fund seeded by the profits of AI and robotics. His proposed American Equity Fund would take public stakes in the companies and technologies driving automation, capture a portion of the resulting productivity gains, and distribute them as universal dividends. The Fund would not replace a Universal High Income but would complement it.

    This approach has several advantages. It ties payments directly to real output, scales automatically with productivity, and can be introduced gradually, avoiding the shock of issuing large payments before the supply side has fully expanded. It would resemble the Alaska Permanent Fund, which distributes oil revenues to residents, except that here the resource would be the most powerful general-purpose technology since electricity.

    Conclusion: A New Monetary Logic for a New Productive Era

    For centuries, money has been issued as a claim against the future productivity of human labor, repaid from the income that labor generates. The logic of this debt-based system collapses when machines become the primary producers of goods and services. Then the limiting factor becomes purchasing power — the ability of human beings to access the abundance their own technologies create. That requires a monetary architecture that expands with output rather than debt, and distributes income not through wages alone but through mechanisms tied to the productive capacity of the whole system.

    Universal High Income and a sovereign wealth fund are two ways of doing that. One ensures a stable floor of demand; the other ensures that the public shares in the gains of automation. Both would be grounded in real production. But for the public to have access to those gains, the money supply needs to expand in proportion to the expanding pool of goods and services. This can be done by restoring the innovation our forefathers baked into the Constitution: debt-free money issued by the government itself.

    How to fund a UHI without triggering inflation or driving the government into bankruptcy is the first objection critics raise, but there are others. They argue that people would stop working or stop learning, that society would collapse into idleness or chaos, that life would lose meaning without jobs, that the government would have the power to control how people spend their money.  Will a UHI ring in the promised utopia or lock us into a state-controlled digital prison? Part 2 of this article will address those concerns.

    Here is my comment awaiting moderation on Ellen's blog as I do hope I survive the decision of her moderator:

    James Allen Homyak, an inventive and creative Minnesotan, contends that as natural thinking and critical thinking Americans begin to privately employ a non-big-tech open source operating system solution inside their households (directed to assist and empower in virtually every facet of living) to provide knowledge management and decision support, for fitting more precisely within the DYNAMICS OF THAT HOUSEHOLD, people would become empowered in many unique ways blocked for over a couple centuries by CORRUPT BAR MEMBERS and ROBBER BARONS long gone. Unfortunately their devastating effects lived on in the corporatized shifting of the "balance of power" away from younger generations and dreaming families.
