| Topic | Do you believe in UBI? (Universal Basic Income) |

COVID has taught us that automation for a lot of jobs might come sooner than we think.I think that's the wrong lesson from covid. We had to stay home to flatten the curve because we didn't have the medical resources to treat a full blown outbreak, and with a vaccine a ways off, it seems our medical machine is not as efficient as it might need to be. UBI is about saying a lot of jobs are becoming obsolete and thinking we should just let people stay home, instead of saying a lot of jobs are becoming obsolete, we need to get people ready for the jobs still here and in demand, or might be needed in the future. I get it's appealing to people that never really aspired to much beyond a cashier level, or truly believe themselves when they say they'd create something great with the off time and not just get high watching TV, but I don't see work going away any time soon. It just takes new forms. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
