Socialism is one solution, just give stuff to everyone whether they work or not, but it fosters terrible qualities in human beings. Even when the economic value of working is meaningless, the moral value of HAVING to work is enormous.
I realized just a couple of years ago that we actually live in that utopia. It’s really a dystopia. Those “living wage” people are called welfare recipients. Their neighborhoods are quite dangerous. They are in no way happy people.
We should write a book together because that’s exactly right.
People now don’t even bother moving from regions where there are no jobs and no hope of jobs, because just enough money comes in from the state to keep them warmish and well-fed, and they can obtain drugs and other vices in sufficient quantities to make life bearable on a surface level.
But it’s desperately depressing on a moral level, which they do feel, and they want someone to blame. But whom?
