The world is going to have a hard time pursuing "creative endeavors" while homeless and starving - which, if you hadn't checked, is what happens when you don't have a job and people around you support conservative economic policy.
It is not possible to hold this position without being legitimately fairytale-villain evil or a socialist.
- prawn 12y agoThey said "the goal should be to find a way for people to meet their basic needs without needing a job." e.g., if someone has off-grid battery tech and solar (or whatever else), they can knock off their electricity and gas bills. If they can automate the recycling of sewage into clean water, fertiliser and leftovers, and they had water storage, they could ditch their water bill. If they had underground (think shipping containers) and automated food production, they could cover some of their food bills and still have ground level land free for entertainment. Of my general costs, I'm not immediately sure how we would ultimately replace council costs (roads, etc) and internet connectivity.
