If we are headed towards a post-labor society (which I doubt, but that’s a different topic), the first thing we need to do is radically reconsider how our society thinks about property and wealth. Otherwise, we’ll have a small class of property holding aristocrats and everyone else is screwed.

I generally agree, but want to add that we aren't that far off from your last sentence.
We are already there.
No we are not? I’m having a great life and have zero property and no investments.
You and I are two datapoints. As we speak, there are millions of kids in UK without enough to eat. UK is a first world country, and this should not be happening.
It shouldn't be happening. Perhaps the grants of money need to be earmarked for food to ensure parents spend it on that?
It's not that the parents are exploiting their children to fund their lifestyles, it's that they really have little to no income because people are living on poverty.

The government is not working for the average person, and it is beyond me why so many people in England still vote for Torries after so many years of ineptitude on public display.
