      Or better yet, that, plus guaranteed housing, food, and utilities (including, but not limited to, water, waste disposal, sewage, electricity, internet, and anything else that might be considered necessary in the future), and for a transitional period, worker ownership over the corporations that they work for (basically forcing companies to be worker-owned co-ops), so business decisions aren’t exclusively decided by short term profitability, and so that people who decide to work will be given an incentive to keep working there, even after automation fully takes over jobs. Also on top of that, citizen-ownership over natural resources, kind of like how Alaskan citizens own the oil in Alaska.

      And on top of that, change the voting system to a ranked choice one, such as STAR, and ban all private money from elections, having publicly funded elections instead. Also regulate promoting electoral candidates to two weeks before an election, that way people aren’t constantly exhausted by every elections. Some countries already do this.

    You’d think as we approach fully automated luxury (for the wealthy only) hetero land capitalism that people would kinda start getting ideas about maybe not everything should be property of the richest trash around 🤔 I would, anyway. Apparently I’d think wrong and people are so determined to serve they’ll blame me for existing before they’ll ever blame whoever fired them for a machine, or whoever voted against UBI, or whoever decided that food and shelter should cost money even if there aren’t any jobs because the machines handle everything. Or just… y’know, anything that makes any sense?
