😀 Tom Universal Basic Income is the hot topic right now, but what I think would be better instead, is a paid 2-3 month vacation every year. I think that a lot of the benefits that UBI supposedly touts, can probably be achieved with a real break from work, and without giving up work altogether. This way, people can still be incentivized to work, but still have the ability to persue other creative endeavors.

🦿 Lucian Marin This is exactly what I want. Three months will be perfect on working on projects like Sublevel. But I don't think we will get free money. We still have to work on something.

👽 Paul Webb The jobs that computers can't take over yet are for designers and coders. Oh, and construction. People are going to have to learn new skills or get left behind.

Mark Dain I used to think of UBI as "paying people to exist" which I can understand is sort of weird and reeks of communism, but if you consider millions being unemployed permanently due to a lack of jobs, the economy is going to be in a lot of trouble. Either we just move to a post-money society, or we give everyone some money so they can continue buying/selling/etc. I'd like to hope most people would use their new time and freedom to work full time on projects they love.
