Jobs are not the real issue. The real issue is people not having access to basic needs. We need to escape the capitalist lie that labor is the solution to our problems.

For all of human history we have had to labor in order to live. What is different now?

“It’s been this way forever why should it change now” that kind of thinking is why there weren’t civil rights until the 60s

Rome developed a system of free or subsidized grain for its impoverished male citizens as a form of social welfare. Supplying the basic needs of people is not a new concept. The problem now is that we are replacing labor with automation, but still expecting everyone to work in order to live. What does one do when there isn’t work?

There aren’t enough jobs in machine repair to replace those lost by the use of machines. The purpose of machine adoption is to increase efficiency primarily through fewer labor costs.
