> Why all the popular support for a Basic Income Guarantee rather than the arguably superior Job Guarantee
Why the obsession with a labor based economy when the whole point of a basic income is that we're moving away from labor being needed? You can't base the distribution of resources for a society on labor when the population exceeds the necessary labor force. This puritan work ethic where you judge people by how hard they work is becoming antiquated, time to try something else.
In an automated world where labor isn't of great value, people still need to be able to live meaningful lives. A job guarantee is not superior, it in fact misses the entire point of basic income.
