Why doesn’t he see jobs as a solution to joblessness?
Re: your post 4
They don’t want people to have jobs, because once they realize how it feels to be independent, the commies will start to lose power.
“Universal basic income” is a HUGE disincentive to ever seek a job.
It is nothing more than a scheme to distribute welfare without workfare. It did not work for the Romans, it did not work for the Chinese, for sure it did not work for the Soviet Union, and it won’t work today.
Jobs, employment, grow out of a need to be filled. To simply distribute money with no common goal in mind other than that some people are not absolute paupers already of mind and spirit, does not in any way justify MAKING even more people poor in mind and spirit. Need is everywhere and close at hand, and the filling of these needs is the lubricant that keeps a society running. The filling of those needs, though, cannot be made by a blanket declaration that is applied without discrimination or judicious examination of the cost/benefit ratio, both of which are virtually indivisible parts of a free-market system.
The “discrimination” comes into play when considering the merit of a given individual, and rewarding that merit by applauding that person with cash. A person who is doing something he likes, and in doing so, provides a very desirable service, never has to work a day in his life, because the rewards are so much greater than just a paycheck, which is almost an afterthought.
He prefers that all the currently vacant jobs stay that way...give them enough ‘free’ stuff and they will come....
