USSR style. We can all be our ideal selves. We can finally be writers and artists living in our own large single family homes who teach children on the side, but only when we feel up to it.
And no one has to be the guy who works on the sewers or anything unpleasant like that. Plus, maybe someone wants to do that work, idk. And if not, uh... robots can do it. Who builds, programs, hauls around, and uses the robots whose sole job is to unclog sewers? Uh, nerds, I guess. Or... other robots, maybe, idk.
There will be no need for forced labor at all under this new system.
Are we looking at the same meme? I don't see anything about not working or having other expenses.
You lack vision here. If we're canceling mortgages, then why not get rid of other expenses? Surely water heat and electricity are human rights and should be covered by taxes. And we could all likely agree on food as well. Why would we coerce people to work jobs they dislike? We could live our ideal lives if only we dismantled the economic system one layer at a time.
...just don't think about the details of how we'll encourage people to do dirty jobs or you'll get downvoted. That's bad vibes.
Yes.
At least you admit it.
