I'm sure they'll find better use of their time. Doing work machines could easily perform is a waste of life. (unless it's a hobby)
You changed your answer.

First you said something about a hypothetical situation that couldnot exist. yeah, ok. Wanna know another hypothetical situation that cannot exist? The laws of supply and demand. Anybody that has ever seriously studied them realizes that they come with assumptions that cannot exist i the real world. But that does not mean that they are not useful in a real world situation.

So these people are supposed to find better uses of their time? Doing what exactly? Maybe the former sandwich maker can just transition into investment banking?

WTF? You do realize that, throughout history, most jobs have sucked? But the people who did them at least got a wage to pay their rent and feed their children. But we just elected a President on a "I'm tired of working hard so that other people don't have to" mentality.

So what the living fuck are you going to do with the increasing number of families living in poverty!? Somehow just hanging around at the zoo or in the park just doesn't pay the rent. Leisure time isn't leisure time when you have no money and can't feed your kids.

..Yeah, not yet. I want kids, but you guys do not want me to unleash that on the world yet.

It is a curiosity how underground growers with kids keep that shit secret, though.
I stopped. But if I find myself in a legal state I will start again. He will help me.

Fuck em.

It is better to be part of the opposition. I am starting to dig it. I expect that music might get better too. It often does under the shittiest Presidents.

We're kinda coming full circle back to the 60s.

Perhaps we can use "Terror of the senses" An unmanned kiosk is an incubator of germs and drop off point for Anthrax and other means of population control. Laws can be crafted with team work.
Sadly corporations are more organized but never complain about Communism.

I heart Anthrax

Ok, here is an innovative, totally new, idea. Instead of giving them a minimum wage bump, maybe the corporations can give them company scrip on top of their wages. That way the workers can increase demand but especially in ways that are most profitable to the company. Of course, any current employee discounts will be eliminated so the poor don't get spoiled.

I think that after a while, this will be so successful that most (possibly all) of the wages can eventually be phased out for company scrip.

Imagine the joy and stability that McDonalds' workers will have if they have a wallet brimming with free McRib coupons!
.
We should also tell the poor that on their deathbeds... they will have total consciousness - which is nice.

The McRib was pretty baller. I miss the CBO, though. That burger was fucking addictive.

Hey, if it’s gonna work for health care…

Kinda reminds me of the "Peabody Coal Company" mentality.
