Yeah, I said no because I believe jobs are a means not an end and that society trying to push the idea that jobs are tied to personal worth/dignity is gross. If a jobs guarantee would require the government (or anyone really but the question was just the government) to make inefficient/needless jobs just for the sake of having them that's... not a good IMO. Like automation reducing the need for jobs shouldn't be seen as a doomsday scenario. It only is if we as a society fail to ensure the productivity from that is not shared/distributed back to the people. Like it should be a good thing that we no longer need to work as much/at all but god forbid can't have that in capitalism. which not gonna lie we're totally gonna do because humanity is awful So like on a practical level if we're gonna go down that road it may well be better offering that guarantee than doing nothing but we really shouldn't go down that road dammit. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:932994470] in Politics C...
