As is always said when this argument comes up: fine, let's automate the job and then just give those people the money they would have otherwise made.
The people in need get the money, but no one has to do the awful job. Win-win.
Or we could just pay them to dig holes and fill them back in again, if you demand that they must perform labor to "earn" their way.
These are needless jobs. They should be destroyed.
- paxys 4y agoWho exactly is going to "just give" them this money? Big corporations? Why would they do that exactly? Under some law? What would the law say? That each company has to give some random people money? Or is it the government handing out the cash? Who all will they pay? Where will this money come from? What are the chances any of this actually gets voted for and enacted? How will it be enforced? It's easy to create these fantasies in one's head, but think about it realistically for 5 seconds and it all breaks down.
