Survive Homelessness healthcare trials bullshit citizens vehemently advancements
News is coming out of Europe that Basic Income could become a reality in several countries. Basic income is a policy in which …… get money just for being citizens of that country; they get a monthly check, a statement just for being there, just happen to being there, right? You are paid for existing.
Local authorities across the Netherlands are currently running ………….to award every citizen unconditional money from the state. Now, of course, when we, Americans, hear this, when we’re told of this idea, it makes our protestant work ethic burn. It makes our heads throb …. and we start twitching…………………. It just impacts us: getting money without working. What’s next? An accountable, verifiable voting system? It’s not just how to things are done.
But, in fact, think about this. What is work? Work was initially done so we could …………………... You could, you know, you had to plant food, take care of the farm, take care of the kids and build your house. You had to do that to survive. Then, later, work was done to build things that weren’t necessarily for you, but they were still very important, you know, to the society: building railroads, putting on electricity, growing the society as a whole in various very important ways.
Now, however, with ……………………………….of technologies only a small percentage of work is done to survive or to make something crucial. Instead, a lot of work is moving numbers around on the screen to enrich people or making a new video game or managing some social media or whatever. It’s all……………! Sure, if it’s your passion, have that. If you love social media then do that, that’s great. But if we are all working our asses off for bullshit that we hate, if you hate it, then what kind of life is that? Why are we wasting our existence with that?
Basic income solves that problem. It also solves tons of other problems. You wouldn’t need food stamps for people. …………………would be nearly wiped off the map. People could afford…………………….., which should be free anywhere. Basically, you‘d have a much better society, a better existence. But we, here, in the U.S. won’t even consider this, because capitalism wants people struggling. Capitalism loves people struggling. It needs workers just grabbing for pennies. If you see people on the street, it’s good because you need to feel that. The more desperate workers are the better stocks do. Corporate stocks do well when workers are desperate. That’s how capitalism works.
So, that’s why we can’t process of the idea of Basic Income, but, in fact, it is a great idea. And with technology going away, it what needs the effort, it’s the next step.
