>basic income is the only answer
Ironically, I think ensuring that people don't starve and become homeless during durations they are unemployed (which unemployment insurance/payments doesn't really do in many locations), is actually a good idea.
It'll be nice to move away from "work because if I miss it we'll be homeless" to "work because I enjoy what I do, and can contribute positively in the field."
- gray_-_wolf 3y agoThat would work for (some) fields, but I do not expect enough people will volunteer to clean up the streets or stock up the shelf at the stores.
- lannisterstark 3y agoThere are people who actually enjoy doing those things. eg: I have a friend who hates this post covid trend of walmarts closing at 11 now, because he used to genuinely enjoy overnight stocking shifts while working on school during the daytime.
