"Freeing people to work on things they desire will mean no one will ever..."
Unless they want more money, of course. Hands up everyone who might want more money than the minimum needed to survive.
- gaius 13y agoThis is where the theory collides unpleasantly with the real world. The "minimum needed to survive" will be ratcheted up by every politician courting votes, and the people will happily play along. F'rinstance I don't begrudge anyone a roof over their heads, but right now in the UK it is causing an enormous political storm trying to roll back "... with a spare bedroom or two, in the postcode of your choosing" getting tacked onto this basic right somewhere along the line.
