But should your life be dedicated to work forever while you’re able bodied? What about having some fun while you’re still able to? Most people in the US don’t even take vacations like those in software do. I don’t think my own parents have left the country in 30 years. The only reason they ever left was due to military service. Otherwise, they could never afford it anyway.
UBI is interesting but it’d never scale to the same level as social security benefits. Many people in the US live off of just social security and maybe a tiny bit of retirement funds.
If you gave out social security to everyone, we’d have a massive amount of people quitting work (potentially forever). Wouldn’t like be financially sustainable unless we overhaul the entire system and have extremely straight forward taxation without deductions, special treatment, different brackets for different types of income, etc.
