Most people aren't going to make this point, but if McDonald's workers make 30/hour, that'll prompt mcdonald's to make more automated serving machines and stuff. Raising wages will cause technology to shift to replacing more jobs, which is way better than the useless shit billionaries spend their money on. The more technology takes jobs away, the less we even have to talk about this old-ass concept where every person must be working on something stupid. People should be contributing to society, if they want to benefit from the things that society gives them (infrastructure, technology, security, social assistance). The problem with automation, is what will all the people working in low skilled jobs do after they lose their low skilled jobs? If you say some sort of UBI where people get money to sit at home and do nothing, what is the incentive for people to strive for getting into a more skilled career? You could make UBI the bare minimum to pay for food/shelter, but then those people would complain because they don't have a big screen TV, or the newest iPhone, while people that are working for a living are enjoying those benefits. Nothing is solved here. redrocket posted... Do these people really exist, or did you just make them up to have an excuse to be mad about something? You should check out any of the tankie subreddits such as r/antiwork. Every once in a while I'll read through them just to remind myself just how many really really dumb people there are shitposting on the internet. --- Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
