Setting the specific numbers aside, I think providing subsidized jobs is generally a better idea than UBI.

American society places a lot of value on having a job, so it is important for people to have one to help maintain self worth.



I both respectfully and vigorously disagree. It's time we break down this sham that you require a job to have self worth.

If you automate yourself of a job, are you worthless now? Of course not! But we're still stuck with these silly societal moores that work and a job equate to value. No longer!


I don't disagree with you but I think we need to be cognizant of the best way to transition away from the current value system.

I worry a step change will fail badly.
