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 Creating a bunch of federal jobs during a recession can be good, but a jobs guarantee when unemployment is low is actively bad imo (since you're removing labor from the economy unless you make the jobs so shitty that only someone unemployed would want them). --- Congrats to Advokaiser for winning the CBX Guru Challenge! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:932994587] in Politics C...
