on the same topic, another thing what needs to be changed is metrics how “success” of a country as a whole is measured. currently it’s mostly employment rate.

on the same topic, another thing what needs to be changed is metrics how “success” of a country as a whole is measured. currently it’s mostly employment rate. low unemployment=good economy, country in good shape. problem with that is it does not represent quality of those employments, if majority is with super low compensation, then this “employment rate” metric is useless. what could be helpful is to define realistic “poverty line” and calculate statistics what is percentage of population above it. then we would see real situation of people’s lives and then it would be easier to discuss whether pleople need UBI (or other safety net) or not. right now it’s even difficult to start discussion about it because part of population even disagrees that there are many people who need help.
