      Cool, soooo if we’re all no longer working, then who’s taking care of food production? Shelter? Medical care? Defense? Maintenance? Etc.

      There is a happy medium… everyone not having jobs is not it. A lot of jobs are hard work but benefit society heavily.

        Think of it like a Star Trek esque utopia. A lot of people have jobs, but only to further themselves and grow as people. Noone has to take a job which takes all of their waking moments just so they don’t die if starvation.

        Ok here’s my pitch: murder the top 5 billionaires and liquidate their assets. That’s 2.5 trillion. Everyone on earth gets like 300 bucks. Keep doing that until it evens out a bit. Also grow a vegetable garden.

          Money’s worth comes from the ability to buy someon else’s work with it. If no one is working money is worthless.
