    Basic income seems like an obvious solution.

    Many people would pursue happy lives. Do some art. Do some gardening.

    You’d also want to have like public housing or something so you don’t have parasitic landlords and homelessness.

      ok i agree to this.

      But then i do wonder, why take the extra detour over “labor should unite instead of letting business idiots take most of the value they create” (which i read as seize the means of production)? Why not just introduce UBI immediately?

        Cuz you can’t introduce Ubi as long as there is a parasitic capitalist class controlling all the wealth.

        There’s still going to be production, and I don’t think we should continue with the capitalist class extracting value and making bad decisions

        If you introduce basic income without addressing that, you’ll still have all the enshittification
