The answer to that would be not to make such choices. Everyone gets the same amount, whether they're unemployed or a billionaire.
- ryukafalz 4y agoI can see that maybe working with a lot of things, but what to do about housing? Land is non-fungible, and if more people want to live in a place than its currently built capacity allows for, "everyone gets the same amount" doesn't mean much.
