We are coming toward the point - if we're not already there - where we have a massive labor surplus, and many jobs today don't even need to be done, and automation is going to keep making this worse. The fact that a lot of college grads can't even find a job means that there's too many people, not enough jobs. I don't understand how this is sustainable.
Seems like giving out universal basic income will basically become a necessity, just giving them some money might be better for the economy than making up more useless jobs. Anyone else starting to think like this to?

WTF I love starving to death now
IMO if most people want to survive if basic income doesn't happen they'll have to move to the country side and run a farm. All you need to survive is food and shelter, so you don't need a job if you can secure that without having money,
Credit system where you get basic income by doing various community works that obviously would warrant status as a "job" but still need to be done and preferably by humans either because empathy is needed or because there's no reason to waste pricing more expensive machines to do the project. (Helping at old folks home, soup kitchens, picking up trash on roads, etc.)
This is only when we reach that point though.

You are aware that the only reason why we have a massive labor surplus is because jobs are being exported to overseas areas, right?
What this means, effectively, is that the socialist dream has a lifespan. Yes, this neoliberal dream also has a lifespan, but a much longer one.
Any socialist, work-when-you-want-to system in America will inherently rely on imperialism and unfair-wages in industrial capitalism in other countries, ironically.
You'll be relying on cheap industrial labor from the third world to power that dream. What happens when they want to live in a socialist state too? Even though your socialist state depends on cheap, reliable, oppressive labor from them?

You need money to buy land to farm on. You need a license to hunt and fish. It's illegal to survive on your own without paying someone.
Here is the answer.
