Somehow that just cries UBI to me. But this will always be torpedoed by the naysayers who predict that the majority will then just kick back and play video games all day instead of working to make their visions become reality.
- germinalphrase 10y agoI think that I would prefer if we simply subsidized wages to push down hours/week. I realize this wouldn't work for intensive job roles, but I'm pretty certain that many - if not most - jobs could be shared by two, rather than one, hire. Push hours down to 20/week and hire twice as many people. More time for people to engage in hobbies/entertainment/family/community. I believe this was done in Germany in '08 as a crisis intervention to avoid the large job losses we saw here in the states.
