When your AWS account can remove graffiti from the wall, or plant flowers, or dig a road, please do let me know. Even when that happens, I don't think a job guarantee would extend to an AWS account.
Despite your protests, people manage just fine to compare labour based on how much the provider of said labour is paid using the single measure of quantity of currency.
- thrw42A8N 2y agoNo, they compare the market value of labor, which is the part that makes the economy possible and this proposal would remove it.
- hgomersall 2y agoIt would not remove it, everything would float relative to that point. If you don't define the reference point, things still move about the price of labour since that's the dominant variable, just the absolute baseline can float around too. Defining a single point allows any arbitrary market position for everything else. Since money is a social construct with a social purpose (and indeed, is the reason people are unemployed) it's perfectly reasonable that we define it's value to provide a social purpose, which has the added benefit of providing price stability. Moreover, it provides a buffer stock of employed that can easily transfer to and from the private sector.
