So long as people like you keep asking the critical questions, we're not lost :)
Lots of resources/jobs could be spent making life better for the majority of people. UBI is an extreme example of this. Universal health care, free higher education, solving homelessness, a human justice system, entertainment, could all use more resources.
The question is if America has the will to make this happen. As it won't be possible with state-sponsored wealth redistribution. I suspect European countries will be a lot better at finding the balance.
- crimsonalucard 9y agoThis is an age old question we've been dealing with for decades and we've seen examples of this all across the spectrum. It's capitalism vs. communism with socialism dead in the center. Scandinavian countries and China are socialist while America is more capitalist. Every time UBI has been implemented (communism) it has failed. Though it's hard to say whether it was a failure of the concept of communism itself or other factors.
