    Agreed, but I don’t think the world’s ready for that. We’ll probably let masses of people starve to death/resort to crime before we start paying people a UBI or an alternate arrangement that allows people to feed themselves when they are unable to find work.

    Yeah, a jobs a job, it should pay a living wage at a minimum. I guess the difference is supply and demand. Anyone can stock shelves at a supermarket, making the employee pool large, meaning they can lower the wage and still get someone desperate.

    The government needs to step in and force companies to make that “lower wage” at least liveable.

    Although to be honest that may speed up the implementation of robot shelf stockers, which creates another set of problems.


  • I’m liking the “going back to when I was 6 with all the knowledge I have now” option, but in reality 6 year old me would probably be too immature to know I need to remember it and by the time I needed to use that information in any sane way it would have been long forgotten.

    I mean some people are saying get bitcoin early days, but 6 year old me was at least 10 years off Bitcoin existing.

    It would also really suck knowing how easy it was to obtain information in the future only to be stuck in the past and barely have access to the internet at all.
