The argument is that there are plenty of things that are obviously useful (or even needed) which aren't being done today because too many people incorrectly equate "useful" with "profitable" - and so only the profitable things end up being done, while many useful things remain undone.
The fact that your strawman appears so frequently shows that knowledge about the details of a Job Guarantee are not spread widely enough yet.
- dllthomas 12y agoIt's not a straw man. How do you tell apart a job guarantee from any old program doing things that need doing? The difference is that, with the job guarantee you may eventually have to start creating make-work; otherwise, it is not a guarantee. I oppose make-work, so I oppose the guarantee. I do not, on these grounds, oppose creation of jobs to do things that are not make-work.
