The problem is that even if you provide security, people are unhappy with living on the cost of others. People need to feel useful, having a job is about more then just getting a roof and food.
- Mz 9y agoI would like to see universal basic healthcare in the US and genuinely affordable housing. I am not for basic income. I don't think it provides any kind of security. I think basic income amounts to a big fat fuck you to the little people. I am for viewing our current crisis as The Second Industrial Revolution and trying to find a way to better distribute work, not welfare checks under the name of basic income. I talk about that fairly often. I try to not harp on it. I didn't really see any reason to state it in the above comment. Your concept of security and mine are not the same.
- krapp 9y ago>People need to feel useful, having a job is about more then just getting a roof and food. Unfortunately for people, having a job is not even about that. Jobs are for you, an employee, to provide value to a company in exchange for whatever the market determines your labor is worth. Not to provide you with a sense of satisfaction, or dignity, or even enough money to afford a roof and food. If your job can provide you with those things, then you're lucky. But as the global economy moves beyond the need to sustain itself on human labor, it makes less and less sense to expect employment to fulfill societal needs, or even basic human needs.
