What does "economically beneficial" means in this context?
I agree that some measures of economy (GDP? unemployment?) would get better in this scenario, but the whole effort wouldn't serve any other purpose than to increase those values, making it a little pointless.
I guess if this is what you're trying to say, then it is indeed an indictment of how we do economy.
- FeepingCreature 4y agoYeah I guess I view the economy as a system for maximizing value. This largely happens through consumptive spending. So this entire thing is a weird backdoor mechanism for giving people money for consumptive spending and burning their labor in exchange. Could you just give people the money without burning their labor in spectacular explosions? Yes. But we don't. :shrugs:
