I’m yet to be convinced that if majority of the humans are out of work, the government will be able to take care of them and allow them to “pursue their calling”. Hunger games is a more believable outcome to me.

If someone is going to suggest UBI, I wish they could explain to me how Reservations have failed so hard in the U.S.. I think that would be a cautionary tale.

Excellent choice of words there: new standard.

I'm sure we are, but it doesn't look like an improvement for most people.

The most powerful nation on earth isn't even willing to extend basic health care to the masses, nevermind freeing them to pursue a higher calling than enriching billionaires.
