    So you are in favor of keeping an underclass of people that you can threaten with death to force them to work?

      Having an underclass and (monetarily) coercing everyone to do their fair share of work to meet everyone’s needs are two very different things. If I need to spell that out for you, you may want to think about these things and how they would look in practice a bit more for yourself before discussing them.

        A billionaire’s family isn’t under threat of dying if they don’t get a job. They already have what something like UBI would give to everyone else. The only way to use pay to force labor is to have people so poor that not having an income would lead to their death.

        That is called an underclass.

          Everyone refusing to work would always lead to everyone’s death. Blame God for making reality this way. People must be coerced to work when needed.

          But you immediately jumping to the opposite extreme case as if there were only two options shows you have no interest in actually understanding what I am saying. Can’t teach someone who doesn’t want to learn. So I think we are done here.
