Some would argue that Job Guarantees could perform a similar function. Personally find them a rather depressing idea, but you’ll find plenty of arguments for and against.
- BjoernKW 8y agoGuaranteeing work or rather forcing someone to do work even if it doesn't provide any value or serve any purpose while at the same time you could provide them with a basic income for no work at all seems downright cruel to me. Guaranteeing work ultimately boils down to work for work's sake and arguments like "idle hands are the devil's workshop".
