The other practical solution is basic income.
In a basic income society people can do (if they want) the jobs they have a passion for without poor conditions.
And people who will want a higher income will do the jobs that a few people can do (highly skilled jobs..), or wants to do (picking up garbage, cleaning toilets...). These jobs will probably have much better conditions than now.
- jquery 7y agoWho is going to pick up garbage in a basic income society and why? Don’t be surprised if you have to pay these people radically more than they are currently paid. In which case COL goes up significantly and the basic income doesn’t go as far and we are back to square one.

- jquery 7y agoAre you suggesting garbage men will be millionaires? When we're talking about spending trillions and fundamentally changing the relationship between citizens, their government, and work, platitudes convince nobody but the choir.
- Retra 7y agoNo, I'm saying people will continue to be garbage men because they want more money. Basic income is not going to stop people from wanting more money.
