| and for people who arent physically capable of doing these jobs? if we're dismantling welfare system then how are these people surviving? what about people who get illnesses that take them away from work for extended periods? people needed multiple surgeries, months of physical therapy, assistance of medical devices, etc. is healthcare included in this government job? if so, what isnt covered? if not, how are people expected to stay healthy enough to continue working? mental health care? how are these people expected to save for retirement? are people over the age of, say, 75 expected to work as construction workers if they didnt save enough for retirement? How and when would these workers have the time and money to become trained for better paying careers? does this job come with some tuition programs also? you mention trash pickers, why wouldnt that be automated, or is this a scheme by which we outlaw the automation of sectors of the economy in order to protect these government jobs? would these workers/companies compete on the open marketplace with others, or would this be a government monopoly? if its not a monopoly, say im hired as a child carer. what do i do when one day theres no child to take care of because people dont want the shitty government child caretakers, they want to private ones? do i get fired? do i get paid to sit in the government office and wait? can i go home? is this an economically efficient use of a persons time? if im to sit and wait in an office until the end of the day, how is that different than a UBI other than i have to sit in an office all day? |
