You starve.
If you're totally incapable of work, the US has a program for that today, its called SSI, Supplemental Security Income. Not to be confused with Social Security or SSDI, this program is paid for with income taxes, not social security taxes. There are ~5 million people in the US on SSI.
- phaemon 9y agoYou're going to let little kids starve because their parents refuse to do your shitty government assigned job for the rest of their lives? Are you looking forward to your mandatory assigned job? Or are you imagining that it's just for other people?
- simonsarris 9y agoWhere did you get mandatory? Imagine a future that includes the options today + a few additional options for employment. That is all I'm describing. Very few people starve in the US: https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/937204945379454978 https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/937204945379454978
- geezerjay 9y ago> Where did you get mandatory? You were the one coming up with government-mandated jobs for people who are deemed unable to work. If you frame your policy as government jobs for those who have no alternative, what else would you call it?
