And next week HN will love UBI.
Many people are shit at their jobs and always will be.
The current system with its messiness gets them money and self respect.
I'm not against a hard world that hurts more people for the next century while we work towards utopia. But just be aware what you are advocating for. Cut throat gig contracts are different to the Fuck you, Pay me, idea.
- hellotomyrars 6y agoSo how are you defining Utopia? What makes us reach the singularity that creates Utopia at the expense of people being miserable? Not a lot of money and self-respect in working min wage/dead end jobs. Plenty of people out on the streets who can’t even get a job. Not sure what you think Utopia is, but I fail to see how another century of a hard world that hurts people gets us there.
- Aeolun 6y agoAfter a while I think you find out you’d rather have a minimum wage dead end job than no job at all. Of course, if you can keep yourself busy, then that might be unnecessary. But I don’t think humans are made to simply be idle.
