>If I suggest that a third of the people can work, and the other 2 thirds do nothing, but get supported, most will get distressed [1]. The very essence of US society is that we are defined by our work.
Sure, I'd be down for it. But I think that's less realistic and instead the government will make my country try to make for a rise of feudalism instead. Except most will starve. it will make the great depression seem quaint in comparison.
>And yet if 2% of the work force is in agriculture, and produce enough food for all, why is hunger a thing?
I'd love to know the answer too. I think we both know the true answer, though.
>I'm not suggesting equality or communism. I'm suggesting a bottom threshold where you get enough even if you don't work.
That's the issue. Even right now, we don't get enough even if you do work full time. Living is unsustainable. How is the problem going to get better, especially when those who would have to pay will instead lobby to not pay out to the people?
