This may be true of older people who feel they may have already lived a full life, and it might be too late to start anything new. What about people who reach financial safety very early, and can afford to experiment and experience a lot more?
There's still perks to a job. It's Universal Basic Income, aka (IMO), basic compassion. You shouldn't be able to starve to death, but if you want a Mercedes and a nice house in the city, you're going to have to work for it, one way or another.
- b_tterc_p 8y agoThe question you need to ask is what % of the workforce considers their potential extra wealth (for most people, small) worth working for. The more people who choose not to work, the more expensive labor is. The more expensive labor is, the higher prices are, the less effective your basic income is, the more your wealth inequality increases, the more jobs move to China, the more the economy shrinks.
