Right! So everyone would choose to pursue passions/interests/leisure. We would be going into debt with no meaningful benefit to the taxpayer. Direct malinvestment.

You provided the example…I still don’t understand why anyone would start working for free. They already have the liberty to do so and choose not to. If the government gives out free money people will pocket it. Should not be controversial.

Nobody is going to choose to be a ditch digger without a financial incentive. Most jobs worth doing are unpleasant or difficult. Thats why people pay for the labor! I mean think about it…when was the last time you heard of charity gutter cl

It should all even out in the long run. As long as we’re in a deficit, spending for this program would directly increase the money supply. Of course there are other factors like velocity of money and elasticity of good/services but at

How do we determine who gets what job?

This is not a fully solvable problem. Especially if the goal is to provide the above for any location. You can do more harm than good by implementing policies like “guaranteed free money”.

Why on earth are solar panels seen as righteous? You’re so indoctrinated that it borders on worship. Go look into who makes them and how. Producing solar, batteries, wind farms EMITS carbon and has large environmental impact. The energy sec

Hate to break it to you but the people producing and selling solar panels don’t give a fuck about the environment. Neither do you. I feel like Im ruining santa claus…

Easy! All we need to do is convert every person on the planet to your religion! It’s what the napkin maths say. Obviously someone as pious as you would never use electronics or fly or hang out on a startup accelerator forum.

We just have fundamentally different values. People like you are closeted dictators. I want liquidity, low spreads, price discovery. You seem to forget that “not delivering any value” is just like y’know according to you…

I don’t even remotely understand what you’re saying is wrong. Median salaries are significantly higher in the US compared to any other region. Nominal and PPP adjusted AND accounting for taxes/social benefits. This is bad? Those jobs y

Economies are a naturally occurring phenomenon and also a prerequisite for a functioning society. No group makes a decision to “create” the economy (especially not the government).

I encourage you to read up on the history on unions. People on this site have this insane idea that $CORP=bad and $UNION=good. The truth is that neither party is inherent good/bad. Unions can and have done plenty of shady things. Union

Theres a huge difference between legally optimizing your tax burden and committing tax fraud. If you want to give more money than is legally required to the federal government so they can light it on fire I guess that’s your prerogative…
