That's better than I expected! 90% of people still working but actually taking sick leave / taking time off to care for family members / taking time off to learn new skills, plus 10% of people not working (and some fraction of them working on art or other good-for-humanity things that are traditionally unprofitable, some fraction of them working on moonshot ideas, etc.) should be even better for the economy!
- pas 7y agoYes, I was surprised too. Probably there's a serious but unknown-sized effect about what would happen if it wouldn't be a trial. (There was a link and a discussion on HN a few days ago.) The folks in the trial went to school and so on. (And that's included in the 10%, so who knows, maybe those would cancel out.)
