And those people are a fraction of people who don't continue working when they don't have to.
You can't make decisions based on the behaviour of such a small minority.
- itishappy 2y agoThat was an example off the top of my head. Is that the most represenative sample? Another group that doesn't need money includes doctors, lawyers, and executives in their 40s and 50s. I don't see many of them quitting the moment they're able. What do you feel the appropriate rate for the entire population is? What's the rate required to sustain society? The only decision I intend to make (and the only one I feel qualified to make) is that I'd like to see more data. We shouldn't be making decisions off of assumptions either way.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWell we don't have enough people working today to sustain society, so it seems to be in the wrong direction.
