          I think I understand you’re pro UBI. Just wanted to state that I’m pro UBI too. Especially instead of bullshit jobs.

          Yeah bullshit jobs make me annoyed too. Why can I not pump my own gas in your state? “Oh, those people need jobs.” Okay that makes it more annoying to get gas but okay.

          But there are jobs that need doing! These people could be building solar panels, working at carbon sequestration, or even just staffing childcare which we desperately need. Why are we wasting our workforce in made up jobs when we have work that needs doing?

        Isn’t that exactly where most billionaire’s wealth typically is? A lot is in stock of some company they started or invested in.

        You can’t gobble up the excess value created by workers if there are no workers.

      Yep. No pity. There is an upper limit on how much money one person can meaningfully benefit from. And our system creates these insane leaks that pour value into mile-deep, inch-wide holes. It’s honestly a form of waste. Radical capitalists should embrace this idea.
