You miss the point. The system you propose builds an incentive for more people to not work, not less.
Your system falls apart if more and more people decide not doing anything at all is a worthy trade off for a reduction in annual salary.
- kube-system 3y agoYes, in today's labor market it would. But that's not the scenario that is being entertained here. We're talking about a hypothetical future world in which robots with AGI are capable of performing basic labor. Incentivize a human all you want, they will never be able to compete in a labor pool where their competition has no rights and will work 24/7. That being said, a handout is not the best way to use that money anyway. What it should be used for are stronger safety nets and public services, along the lines of what already exists in western nations.
