All I can say is, regardless of whether or not UBI is feasible, sustainable, or will become necessary, we should pray that it never gets to that point. The reality is that people need to work, if only for our own mental health and sanity. The implications behind nobody needing to work anymore are such that after thousands of years, we as a species have reached the end of our progress, and all further resources would be dedicated to feeding and herding us like really expensive cattle in a civilization has nothing left to do but decay. Law enforcement presence would have to dramatically increase as there would be a lot of people roaming about with too much free time on their hands and a lot of boredom. It's not a pretty picture.You think people with lots of free time and boredom wouldn't try to make something interesting of themselves? I think the 40 hour work week is far more culturally harmful than having more free time. --- I guess ... Copied to Clipboard! |
