Maybe there should be a universal basic job. jobs can be rated by how much value is created- it can’t be moving rocks from one location then back again. maybe that’s too hard to calculate. weekly, if you create enough value, you’ve earned your basic income. This might be 2 days of road work. you get 40k for this. take responsibility and up your skills with the remaining time. I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to give money out just for being- i understand there are sales taxes etc. I hate the idea of creating jobs, it has always felt wrong. If the jobs fulfill a valuable and timely need, sure. But i’d rather kill jobs, i say, if you can automate your job with no loss in value, you should be paid at least double that for the rest of your days. If we focus on creating value, we’ll all benefit. it’s just a matter of measuring value i suppose. things like teaching a valuable skill should be of enormous value- as an example. call me crazy.
