Yeah...a socialist's wet dream. Unchecked it becomes a cancer that metastasizes right down to society's bones.
In the end, we end up with a much smaller society (because of purges of the unwilling) that does not work, innovate, or thrive. The government will pretend to pay us, and we will pretend to work.
I would invite any intellectual to pick up the topic of innovation and observe what limited societies in history have delivered to us in terms of innovation.
We wouldn’t have the telephone, TV, radio, or internet today, unless societies and individuals found ways to make profits and have access to further their products.
We wouldn’t have airline travel today, without profits or access to further innovation.
We wouldn’t have safe cars, without profits or access to further innovation.
We wouldn’t have modern medicine, without profits or access to further innovation.
We wouldn’t have people living to be seventy or eighty years old....without profits or access to further innovation.
