    In a non-removed society, people would be enabled to live comfortably when laid off due to productivity increases.
    (Neurotypicals are fucking removed. Who caused the climate disaster? Them. With their “quirks” of being competitive, manipulative, productivity obsessed short-sighted monkeys.)

    But no, if you don’t have a job you don’t deserve to eat, so work hard at something. Anything. Even if it’s actively harmful or just not that important. You just need to be occupied.

    So instead people have to compete hard in much less important fields (like creative industries, for example game devs during crunch). Or marketing and manufacturing directly harmful things. There’s a shortage of focus, not a shortage of workers.

    Instead of spending time actively making shit worse, it seems better to me to just fucking chill.
    I took part in turning tons of steel into decorative flower beds just a couple months ago. They’re ugly as fuck, sheets of steel literally made to get rusty. So fucking productive of us! Good fucking job, yeah? Fuck this shit, it’s so stupid. There’s not a single adult in the room.

      I think that accurately describes the fight for Universal Basic Income.

      In my opinion, we should be fighting over luxuries, not necessities.
