RE: What would I do if everyone had a basic income? My own answer to the BIG question.

in #basicincome7 years ago (edited)

What you aren't considering is that more and more jobs are being taken by automation. So for those who are unemployed, there's essentially two options: 1. do absolutely nothing, other than jump through bureaucratic hoops; or 2. Actually do something that has value to the individual and most likely to others as well. You are saying we need to do 1, because... outdated capitalism reasons..., even while the numbers of unemployed due to automation continue to grow. It's illogical.
